Stephen Ireland has failed his Newc medical. :0

[eFestivals]

It was a joke...

joke or not, it still makes more sense than Carroll alone costing £35M.

They must have mentally evaluated him and found out that’s hes utterly insane.

Don't understand how this is a good deal for Newcastle or Liverpool. 35million is a ridiculous amount for a unproven premier league striker, but Newcastle have no time to get a replacement in and leaves us very short up front for the rest of the season. We'll never get a better offer for Carroll, but there will never be a worse time to sell him either

[TheGayTent]

That'd be brilliant if they legally had to sign Nolan so that Carrol could carry on living with him

[eFestivals]

"Interesting stats - if Liverpool pay £35million for Andy Carroll they are getting a player outscored in the Championship last season by Peter Whittingham, Nicky Maynard, Gary Hooper, Michael Chopra and Charlie Adam."

Madness!

it's a good deal for Newc cos Ashley will put it in his pocket.

My take on Ashley is that he doesn't much care if they go down again - by being the miser he's most likely to re-coup his investment, particularly as they have such a big stadium that is mostly full. Remember, this is the guy who was happy enough to sell up and walk away until he realised he'd only get a pittance.

[eFestivals]

He scored a couple of good goals this season and is clearly very good in the air. But, is that it?

In my mind, that is it. The new Big Dunc.

I can't see him being a bigger success in the Prem than Kenwyn Jones, who I see as a similar player - tho I'd say (from the little I've seen of Carroll) that he's probably got a bit more pace than Jones.

looks like it's going ahead, if that is the case I genuinely don't know to to laugh more at. Newcastle for getting rid of their best player, or liverpool for doing the same and replacing him by spending well over the odds!

Apparently Toon have rejected the 2nd offer. Hence the reports "Liverpool will pay more than 35m for Carroll".

[the_hedge]

Another rumour is that Torres will be sold for 48M + Anelka.

I just cant see Liverpool paying 35M for Carroll. It feels like there is another twist to be had on that one although stranger things have happened.

[howlin_pete]

Newcastle confirming a second bid has been rejected!

Apart from the obvious example of second division Sunderland beating top of the first division Leeds in the 1973 FA cup final, what?

Never miss a chance to get that one in.

shame you weren't alive to see it.

now that would be a decent deal, as long as Liverpool aren't buying the sulky Anelka.

Its all gone quiet in Torres land. Is he still in that helicopter?
