Either a fee still hasn't been finalised or we won't let him go until we've signed a replacement.

The latter I imagine, wouldnt be surprised if we have said yes you can have Torres but only if we sign a striker today, if we dont then its off.

Don't believe a word of it. Torres's contract will have already been agreed. With time already being tight to get the deal through, there's no chance they'd have left that until now.

Either a fee still hasn't been finalised or we won't let him go until we've signed a replacement.

They're blatantly all at the pub just waiting to hear if you sign any cover.

Gotta love Twitter

"TonyBarretTimes Tony Barrett
Led to believe NUFC are playing for time to find a replacement & aren't after higher bid. Crouch on loan one possibility being explored."

Twitter feeds are going insane xD

From a mate's Facebook status...

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.

Yeah and if Chelsea buy Torres they are getting a striker outscored in the premierleague this season by Andy Carroll.

Mind you, the flipside of that is a player who is currently outscoring Rooney, Drogba and Torres in the Premier League.

What was it 80 milllion Mike Ashley wanted for his footy club not long ago? Would be crazy if he got almost half that just for Carroll.

neil3k · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:07

lol 80k a week for carroll

BaZ87 · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:07

In other news, Chelsea have tried to sneak their financial results out in the midst of this chaos. The year they're meant to be breaking even, they've recorded a loss of just under £69m.

Mark1989 · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:07

Lol Sky "Newcastle saying it has to be an offer they cant refuse" Now erm what ? if its true that we offered that then he must be wanting something more silly e.g. 50

God dont go over £35mil FSG! thats more than high enough if true

neil3k · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:08

I reckon mike ashley would accept gerrard and 30m

Certainly a big jump from the 30k he is on at the moment

Tombstone · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:09

I reckon we could seal the deal if we threw in Poulsen

BaZ87 · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:10

Despite what Newcastle are saying, Tony B is saying the deal is very much still on. Carroll's on a private jet to Liverpool as we speak.

I thought Nolan was driving him? Maybe Nolan is the pilot

I don't think the reporter could have tried any harder to explain how that was complete and utter speculation. There's literally no grounding to it what so ever.

Azza · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:12

Looks like Newcastle are struggling to find a replacement at such a late time, that's why they have refused.

Mark1989 · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:12

Lol Private jet i never believe them storys so today we have had a Helicopter,Nolan driving him (so a car) next we need a boat then possible for something more far fetched a jet pack

DustyMiller · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:13

Sorry to jump in, but there is no way in hell than Andy Carroll is worth anything near 30 odd million.

And if liverpool do pay anything like that for him then its not the old owners, or the old manager that was not too hot in the transfer arena, its someone else that has survived them both that needs shooting.

BaZ87 · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:14

Newcastle have accepted a transfer request from Carroll. Maybe his 'loyalty' bonus was holding up the deal

You Arsenal fans must be pulling your hair out, knowing you need at least a centre back, but tight Arsene Wenger doing nothing in the window as he does every year. I feel frustrated and I'm not even an Arsenal fan !!!!! How do you guys take it, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that Arsenal need to sign a player or to.
