Longshot: then Newcastle could afford to buy Wellbeck (if it is not too late, on loan at Sunderland) and then Lua Lua would be surplus.

Would be amusing if the Torres deal falls through now

Strewth! What a striking trio that would be - Carroll, Torres and Suarez.

to be fair, both Torres or Carroll could easily fail the medical

Does this push up Muzza's valuation to around £6M now

Lump

Unproven 35000000 lump!

Impossible to know for sure, but I reckon he will work really well with Suarez. Having said that he bloody better had at that price!

According to Dan Walker - "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."

OMFG thanks for letting us know about this.

£35 Million for the clogger Carroll is a darn sight funnier than watching Miranda Hart

Interestingly... Pardew must be mega-miffed tonight. Took #NUFC job on promise #Carroll would not be sold, at any price.

I think Carroll will do quite well at Liv.

 

[beorhthelm]

meanwhile they've paid only 23m for Suárez, a better player.

why do clubs pay so much more for British players?

 

[tottenhamseagull]

Priceless!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

This is crazy. And if you wanted evidence that Dalglish has been out of the game for way too long here it is. A "traditional English centre-forward" might have been a desirable purchase 20 years ago but the footballing world has moved on a lot.

It's baffling. If you go back over past transfers some very ordinary English players go for some crazy sums. Can you believe David Kitson was once sold for over £5m?
