Liverpool have made a ?30m bid for Andy Carroll :blink: :laugh:

Tottenham wanted him too and that was the pricetag the Toon management set for him then.. I guess they want to milk his form.. English players are generally overpriced and over-rated.. I'd be surprised if they spend so much money on him!!

[Subject Delta]

Is right.

?50 million for an injury prone sulk who doesn't want to play for us sounds like fantastic business to me :)

Indeed so, the same lesson United learnt with Ronaldo. It will be a shame to see him leave but there's no point clinging onto a player that doesn't want to play for you. No player is ever bigger than a team.

Liverpool agree £35mil for Andy Carroll. Carroll and Suarez could be a very, very good partnership up top for Liverpool.

Right then. Another development in the Andy Carroll saga. BBC Sport understands that the Newcastle striker is keen on his proposed move to Anfield. That follows Liverpool meeting the Magpies' valuation for the big frontman.

sucks not being able to see him play though when i go over there :(

1642: At long last, I can give you an update on Fernando Torres' switch to Chelsea. Well, an explanation on why it hasn't progressed for the last few hours. BBC Sport understands that the delay with the deal is down to a hitch in negotiations about the mechanics of his Stamford Bridge contract, concerning image rights etc.

1726: BREAKING NEWS: LIVERPOOL ANNOUNCE THEY HAVE AGREED A FEE FOR NEWCASTLE STRIKER ANDY CARROLL

BBC Sport

[Valerus]

crazy day. If Torres goes to the Blues and Carroll to the Reds...

[Rappy Veteran]

crazy money for an average player but suppose thats football these days!

[acnpt]

Surprising that Carroll is on 11 Prem goals, and Nolan is on 10 :yes:

[Rappy Veteran]

isn't Carroll currently injured which could hamper the medical...its amazing how he will probably cost more then Villa, Tevez and other World stars!

Apparently, Charlie Adam from Blackpool is on his way to Liverpool. Whether that is via some kind of transport or the Kop secured his services remains to be seen.

yep ?14m is being said!

Chelsea are back in for Luiz!

but they can only choose one for CL Torres or Luiz!

1838: While speculation in Spain - and it is just speculation as far as I understand at present - is that Tottenham are closing in on a ?30m deal for Villarreal striker Guiseppe Rossi.

1837: Reports in Portugal, meanwhile, suggest Chelsea have agreed a deal of around ?25m for Benfica centre-back David Luiz.

[vanx]

Liverpool and Chelsea have agreed the price for Torres, he's a medical and personal terms away from being a Chelski comrade.

[Rappy Veteran]

:rofl:

[rajputwarrior]

^ :rofl: and wow charlie adam too, my team is getting there (Y)

1937: Liverpool confirm they have agreed a fee with Chelsea for Fernando Torres, who has been given permission to speak to the London club.

[Rappy Veteran]

I for one am looking forward to seeing Torres and Drogba strike force could be really lethal for Chelsea!

or he could end up being shevchenko v2

BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan on Twitter: "Reliably informed that talks on image rights and salary (approx 175k/week) are all that remains forTorres deal to be completed."

[Rappy Veteran]

or he could end up being shevchenko v2

doubtful he has proven himself at EPL level while Shev didn't he just came straight over and was expected to score while Torres has scored alot of goals and suited well but then we could say the same for Carroll who I think is bad news for Liverpool considering his outside football problems.

i hope carragher gives him the liverpool treatment on sunday, would rather have people who actually want to play on the team.

BBC Sport's Dan Walker on Twitter: "Tottenham came close to nicking Andy Carroll off Liverpool, but the striker wanted to join Liverpool as soon as it became clear that Newcastle would sell him."

[Rappy Veteran]

greatest quote ever!

"James Beattie and Andy Reid? Get on Blackpool to do brilliantly in Championship Manager 2003."

[Rappy Veteran]

Right then... worrying developments for Chelsea fans, if what worries you is completely speculative chat on social networking sites... word on the Tweet is that Benfica have "pulled David Luiz off the plane to London" and say they are "analysing" Chelsea's offer for the centre-half. I reiterate, that's unconfirmed as far as I know.

[Kostaz]

Liverpool fans are so happy about having owners who are willing to spend those 50m that they aren't even thinking what they're spending it on.

Adam for ?14m?!

Carroll for ?35m?!?!

And to think that I was concerned about them building a quality team with our money..
