Now that Liverpool have signed goalkeeper Luis Suarez does this mean Reina's on the way out?

Our scheduled press conference has been called off..... Gulp. Could be something to this Carroll transfer.

According to the Independant James Collins of Villa has gone to Shrewsbury on loan

Seems very strange to me

Man City want Seb Larsson on loan. Thats a strange one.

Nah,

It is a youth team player.

IIRC, the above mentioned transfer was completed a number of weeks ago.

Raoul · 31-01-2011 3:37pm

Striker not the defender!!

Kiwi_knock · 31-01-2011 3:38pm

Seb Larsson won't be leaving certainly not on loan according to sources within the club, fairly reliable.

Pool agreed 35 million deal with Newcastle over Carroll. Source: The Times

Dolph Starbeam · 31-01-2011 4:04pm

£35 MILLION!!! :eek:

Oh lord.

Paully D · 31-01-2011 4:05pm

Ashley's going to have a wild night in Aspers tonight.

SuprSi · 31-01-2011 4:05pm

£35 million for Carroll!? I'm absolutely speechless at that price. Way more than Dzeko!!

IRISHSPORTSGUY · 31-01-2011 4:06pm

Andy Reid has had a medical at Blackpool. No doubt Trap will still ignore him...

Peyton Manning · 31-01-2011 4:12pm

Andy Carroll - the 8th most expensive player of all time.

Harry said he wouldn't spend 27m on Dzeko and Carroll is going for 35m :eek:

So how much does this make Gareth Bale :eek:

He definitely will at Blackpool, especially if the Adam deal goes through. And he's a better player than Whelan, Gibson or Andrews.

Pauleta · 31-01-2011 4:37pm

Its all over twitter that West Ham were offered Carroll for 1million in 2009 but now Liverpool assistant manager Steve Clarke didnt rate him at the time

Peyton Manning · 31-01-2011 4:38pm

To those who think Andy Carroll's little stint makes him proven already, Amr Zaki had the same number of goals in less games this time 2 years ago!

Well lets hope Suarez is as successful as Cole and Carroll as Zaki :pac::cool:

TimeToShine · 31-01-2011 4:40pm

Ridiculous stuff, I honestly can't believe Liverpool are going to waste 35M on this guy...The stuff they could do with that sort of money is insane.

homerjay2005 · 31-01-2011 4:42pm

some day for liverpool fans.....nothing is confirmed yet, but some major hours ahead for the future of the club. only one looking defo is suarez, getting the number 7 shirt.

35 million for andy carroll is pure madness. panic buy no doubt. however, if they get in anelka, suarez and carroll, they will have a much stronger strikeforce than what they have right now...

mike65 · 31-01-2011 4:48pm

So then, two transfer records could well be set today - in January!

Depends if Liverpool wait for Torres deal to go through before agreeing Carroll deal.

That was just what I was thinking.

In 1999 West Ham United were handed £7.5 Million from the sale of John Hartson. Days later, they managed to squeeze Paolo Di Canio, Marc Vivan Foe, and Scott Minto out of the same money, with £1 Million left over for their first 6 months wages.

Anelka, Suarez and Carroll would be a decent coup, and provide Liverpool with a range of options. It is also likely that the Torres deal will foot the entire bill for the three.

You dont rate him at all?
What do you think he is worth given he is 22 and has the english player tax?

iregk · 31-01-2011 5:00pm

To put some figures on it. Andy Carroll is worth 35m after scoring a total of 32 goals in his entire career thus far.

Memnoch · 31-01-2011 5:02pm

Newcastle would be stupid to not sell him for that kind of money. I doubt they would get such a good offer in the summer, unless he manages to reproduce this kind of form consistently. I suppose it would be difficult for them to replace him at this late stage and that would affect their position in the table quite dramatically.

I think he's looking like a very good CF - he's relatively fast, agressive, can shoot and head the ball, as well as hold it up, but he's had half a season in the EPL. As Tom Brady mentioned, Zaki scoring stats were similar, and he played in a similar way to Carroll.

He is young though, but I'd put £15 mill of that £35 mill down as a big risk as it's based purely on potential over 3 - 4 months play that he may or may not fulfill. £20 mill, fair enough, anything more is just a mad gamble.

everdead.ie · 31-01-2011 5:04pm

Spurs linked with Grafite now :pac: this is a laugh really people are just thinking who can work as a loan front man oh him we haven't mentioned him yet :pac:

It's possible Liverpool just spent £58m on Amir Zaki and Afonso Alves equivalents!

ironbluedun · 31-01-2011 5:09pm

someone on the radio said liverpool have bid 40 million for carroll.......crazy money for him.

Definitely. He's had a good start this year but is still relatively unproven. Still it's their money.

homerjay2005 · 31-01-2011 5:11pm

Wonder would Newcastle have any interest in a Sideshow Bob lookalike...

31-01-2011 5:13pm
