Do you not think the fact that jamie carragher would never get into a man utd.real madrid or barcelona side had any bearing on him nailing his flag to the liverpool mast ??

Sorry lad but Sam as more of pick in his sport than mr evertonian ever as.

Does he want a spot at the HJ?

hahahahahahahaha i was going to say id love to see rat boy being pounded into the ground by 160 odd kilos of union forwards and seeing him try to milk a penalty by holding on to a stray arm or leg but then thought better of it , ooops i just did

they would never get near him

wouldnt blame him if he took the big money, anyone would, unfortunately you gotta look after urself these days,

and no 1 is irreplaceable :-S

Yeah, but first they've got to catch him. You lot haven't managed it, so what chance them?

He's never going to come out and point blank turn it down and say that he would never move over to Union because from a contract negotiating point with Wigan or other League clubs that leaves him in a much weaker position. He would be daft to not always leave that Union carrott dangling as if he didn't it would mean his future League contracts would probably not be as much.

He's tied to Wigan for 5 years anyway so this is a non story at this minute in time. I've read him previously slate Union and i'd be very suprised to see him ever move over but if he did it won't be for a long time yet.

good post Britney!

hes only doing what Briers has done for how long...............

I take it you don't follow union then.

he would have walked into the 2005/6 man u side......who where uniteds back 4 at the time?

This thread was started purely to try and stir up some . Its a pretty poor attempt too

United's centre backs were Ferdinand and Silvestre. They then signed Nemanja Vidic in January. Carragher is better than Silvestre but Vidic is much much better than Carragher.

There's one thing saying it and another doing it.

One has signed long term to his club, the other two have jumped across to the dark side and the NRL at the first opportunity.

No doubt the 'Ginger Whinger' will be treated like a demi god on his final game in Merseyside!

It also says in the Sun Amos Roberts on load to Harlequins.

but would have been beter at full back than Evra, and beter cover for the middle than Brown and o shea,.

Who does really know???? he could have said what you suggest but then he'd have been fibbing. If the rahrahs come in with the sort of salary that's being paid to Sonny Bill and darling Jonny, then Sam might feel a bit of a twit in 30 years time for staying with his £60k p.a. and turning his back on £500k p.a.

Whatever he decides in the future, good luck to him.

Ballcocks. Evra/Heinze-Rio-Vidic-GNev and don't forget we still had Piqué who has gone on to become one of Europe's better centre backs. Carragher was nowhere near 'walking into' that defence.

It really wasn't.

He wouldn't have needed to fib. "All I'm thinking about is playing for Wigan".

I wouldn't blame him at all for taking the payday, as I don't blame Eastmond. I DO however blame Eastmond for openly courting it (not suggesting for a moment that Tomkins' comments equate to Eastmond's whoring himself about amidst the prawn sandwich eaters).

I've no issue with players moving. Who wouldn't take a better paid job, or an improved lifestyle?

Not what I'm saying, at all.

I remember Sam being asked in an interview about whether the switch to Union would be tempting. His response was "I can't even watch Rugby Union, let alone play it!"

That story is poppycock, like everything else that rag prints

25 stone men? Erm....where?

As I said to him,
