BRENDAN RODGERS won’t let Andy Carroll leave Liverpool FC on the cheap.

Carroll is on loan at West Ham, but is not allowed to face his parent club at Anfield tomorrow.

Rodgers believes the £35million the Reds paid to Newcastle was ‘astronomical’ but he won’t be let go cheaply this summer.

Rodgers said: “It’s absolutely the case that, just the same as last season, if the player does leave, then it won’t be for nothing.

“It’s no fault of his own, but he came here for an astronomical fee.

“There is no doubt Andy has real qualities – some of his goals from set plays with West Ham have proven that. There is the financial aspect to it. He won’t be leaving on the cheap.

“With every player it is about the style, and how they fit into that.

“The club can’t have that money sat on the bench, in terms of what Andy cost and his wages.”
