Kenny Dalglish: Andy Carroll was going nowhere

Kenny Dalglish has said that Andy Carroll was never going to leave Liverpool during this transfer window.

Reports had linked the former Newcastle United striker to a sensational swap deal for Manchester City's Carlos Tevez.

"I said before the game that we weren't close to doing anything," Dalglish said after Liverpool's 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last night. "People must think we lie, which I find insulting.

"Andy scored a great goal but there's no 'i' in team. Everyone made a contribution.

"It was a highly professional, high-quality performance."

Carroll signed for Liverpool from Newcastle United for £35m this time last year.
