1116: Rolling, rolling, rolling. The Press Association is reporting that Newcastle have rejected a £30m bid from Liverpool for Andy Carroll.

Seriously are Newcastle ******* crazy?!?

the mind boggles, he has had half a season at this level, he is currently injured and nobody knows why its not healing so he is seeing a specialist...it could be long term yet they are stilling putting a huge bid in?

panic buying when theres no need ?

lmfao, according to that clown on sky, his sources which are referred to the 'super agents' or the 'big 4 of agents' said liverpool will come knocking again, this stuff is ****ing priceless, bringing a smile to the face on a most likely gloomy day.

My Helicopter pilot called me for permission to fly someone real quick today, he didn't wanted to name the person #Strange

Torres has left in his car... not in a helicopter going to London!

I thought that he managed to get that injury by being a drunk pillock as well. Hes a decent player but nowhere near 30 million. Just under 20 would be about right.

lol, stolen from lfc forum:

TORRES LATEST !!!!

11:45: Helicopter pilot told to 'fly him (Judas) to the biggest football club in London'
12:35: Helicopter lands at the Emirates stadium. Arsene Wenger faints....
12:40: Judas gets back into chopper. Pilot told: 'OK sorry, take him to the 2nd biggest football club in London'
12:50: Helicopter lands at White Hart Lane. Harry 'Del Boy' Trotter faints and envlopes full of money fall out of his inside jacket pockets.
12:55: Judas gets back into the chopper. TBC.

Torres leaves by helicopter. Konchesky leaves by force.

Purdy · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:08

Even Sky have twigged on to torres not leaving by the roflcopter at melwood.

Carroll latest: doesn't want to leave but #NUFC will accept £35 million apparently. Negotiations this afternoon. Interesting #LFC

Why on Earth would you pay that much for him?! That's mental!!! Get Aguero in for around that!

Exactly

I will laugh my balls off if anybody buys Carroll for more than £15m

Pigeon_Killer · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:13

Wouldn't want Carroll for any more than £10 million and that's only because he's English and will come at a premium. £30 million's a complete and utter joke for an unproven striker that's injured and beats women.

Because you need another striker and because there is not a popsicles chance in hell that aguero would go for £35 million and there is even less chance he would go to liverpool.

Aguero's buyout payment is taxable, so any fee would be fee+40%.

So the £38.5m would end up around £53m

Bucket · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:16

It will be the best transfer day ever if Carroll goes to 'pool for £30M.

duc999 · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:18

Again , why would Aguero go to Liverpool ? Unless he's just plain greedy

aidan444 · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:19

Aguero is a massive Liverpool fan. Why wouldn't he come to us?

jakeke · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:20

'cos he could have his choice of a lot of the world's top clubs in a year or two, no offence but why go to a club that is below what he could achieve

duc999 · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:21

My point exactly

And also the reason why Torres wants to leave , allegedly !

I never said he would come to us, just that £35m for AC is embarrassing :confused:

Taken from BBC Sports :

" Sources in Spain are reporting that Tottenham have made a bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan "

guyfawkes5 · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:27

The Beeb:

1320: Sources in Spain are reporting that Tottenham have made a bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan. Redknapp recently watched him at at the Vicente Calderon. He was mugged on the trip.

At least Quiverfool aren't the only club journos are saying are making ridiculous bids.
