The bloke is an idiot that can't help himself with the press, pure and simple. Mancini said he knew nothing about the deal which gave Dalglish a perfect excuse to say it was nonsense, but instead he ends up fanning the flames of speculation and undermining Carroll even more. Fantastic.
For real?

Dalglish said the same thing he's said for the last year when he's been asked about transfers and the comment from Mick McCarthy would have come from a discussiong weeks ago. They're not going to rearrange the game a few days before kick-off.
Oh and Dalglish didn't say any bid was nonsense. The club told the press before Mancini's comments that it was nonsense. Dalglish simply said we won't be doing any business today and as he's always said, he wouldn't comment on transfers until they're done and dusted.
