£35m for Andy Carroll

[samharris]

This transfer fee could quite possibly ruin his career.

Nah.. the dippers are a generous lot,they'll give him plenty of time to settle in,banners are being made as we speak by the liverpool faithful. Booing will be banned from anfield til at least march..
I pity the poor sod tbh, he'll have to face sammy lee every day whilst trying not to laugh at his britney spears microphone and squinty eyes.. :)

What made me laugh was watching SSN, and seeing all the scousers behind the reporter celebrating when they heard the earth shattering quote; "Charlie Adam is on his way to Liverpool to conclude a deal".

How the 'mighty' have fallen. And they wonder why Torres is so desperate to leave?

PMSL.

You are kidding me. Have you not watched Adam this season? The lad is class

Decent player. Worthy of a club with title ambitions, or even Champions League football?

Not a chance.

He will be caught out with better players, you watch.

So good players get worse when playing with better players now? If anything he will get better. With Gerrards energy, Adam will be able to sit and ping passes about.... you watch

Why? His range of passing in Centre Mid is better than anyone in our squad!

"Carroll has been involved in many off-the-pitch incidents in his career. On 14 September 2008, Carroll was arrested by police in Newcastle responding to a report that a woman had been assaulted, and later accepted a police caution for assault. On 7 December 2009, he was arrested in the aftermath of a nightclub fight, again in Newcastle, accused of smashing glass in a man's face. He was charged with assault and in October 2010 he pleaded guilty to common assault and was fined £1,000. He was also ordered to pay £2,500 compensation. He was also involved in an incident on the training ground which allegedly left teammate Steven Taylor with a broken jaw though no charges were filed according to police.Carroll reportedly suffered a broken hand in the incident, and he was shortly photographed in a pop concert with bandages to both hands.Then-Newcastle manager Chris Hughton and club representatives declined to comment any further on the incident. On 18 October 2010, Carroll was charged with assaulting a former girlfriend. Claiming self-defence, and having given a local hotel as his address, Carroll was granted bail on the condition that he resides with Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan until the case resumes in January. The charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence. Two days following his bail, Carroll's car was set on fire whilst parked on Nolan's driveway, with the club captain's garage door also being daubed with obscenities.
Carroll and his ex-girlfriend have a daughter, born 15 September 2009.
Whilst on international duty, Carroll, Scott Sinclair and Ryan Bertrand were sent home from the England U-19s squad after breaking a curfew on 14 October 2007 during preparation for a match against Romania U-19s.Carroll was also involved in a training ground fight with teammate Charles N'Zogbia over a late tackle from the Frenchman, but then-Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear decided not to punish the two."
Just off Wikipedia sounds like trouble to be honest , younger Barton.
Balotelli is more technically gifted and is younger so.. :D

Putting in good shifts for Blackpool is one thing, no expectation whatsoever, underdogs in every game, easy to stand out in a very average squad. Delivering the goods for a big side, where good performances are not pleasant surprises but expected and demanded of you, is a totally different story. Adam's a decent player but you wouldn't find me dancing in the streets like the dippers if we were linked with him.

Ian Dowie comparing Carroll with Shearer and Cascarino saying hes good value for money on SSN

Newcastle looking for a quick fix replaicment for Carroll, a deal that can be completed in the time left tonight... DEAR GOD LET IT BE JO!

 

[spacecadet]

Sky, Talkshite, and the papers can dress it up any way they wish - BUT the scousers have had their pants pulled down. I know which I would rather have Torres v Suarez and Carroll they are going to be very disappointed shortly.

Two former old fashioned,lumpy Centre Forwards on Sky Sports now. The idiot Cascarino and Ian Dowie singing the praises of Andy Carroll and also extolling the virtues of the now long forgotten 4 - 4 - 2.

Gerrard swinging them in from the Right and Charlie Adam swinging them in from the Left, knock down by Carroll and Suarez smashes them in. Neither seem concerned about the ridiculous price tag as well which is astonishing.
