Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes Andy Carroll will come good for Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish.

Redknapp wrote in The Sun: "Kenny Dalglish has an unshakable belief in £35million buy Andy Carroll and rightly so.

"Because we all know when the England striker gets a decent run in the Liverpool side, the goals that made him such a high-priced target will flow.

"Statistics can tell you anything you want to hear in football but what they don't reveal is the ability, commitment and desire a player possesses.

"Pessimists will point to Carroll's big fee, snigger at his goalscoring record since he left Newcastle and come up with some pointless old rubbish.

"But Reds boss Dalglish knows the bigger picture will tell the true story of a striker many, many clubs wanted to sign and I'm pretty sure he will have the last laugh."
