Carragher was also pleased to see the defence reinforced with the arrival of 6' 6" Uruguay centre-back Sebastian Coates, who impressed during this summer's Copa America.
"I haven't seen a lot of him but I think he got young player of the tournament," the veteran centre-back said. "That shows he's got great quality and I think it's going to be a great addition to the squad. You can't think of yourself, you have to think of the club.
"One centre-back (Sotirios Krygiakos) went so we needed another. Time will tell how good the lad is but his pedigree looks fantastic. He's probably been brought up playing a different type of football than I have, a South American style - so maybe I can learn from him as well.
"It's not always about the older players helping the younger - it can work vice-versa. You're always learning from different people."
Classy comments from Carragher here - no pressure, telling him he has a fight on his hands to get into the squad, but certainly making him welcome. If Coates can teach Carragher how to bring the ball out of defence I think we'll all be impressed!
