What is this football coming too...

[Will1995]

This really is getting too far now, 35 MILLION POUNDS FOR ANDY CARROLL. I doubt even Man City would pay that for him! More than David Villa, Carlos Tevez, Edin Dzeko and Wayne Rooney.

He is good, granted, but we have only basically seen half a season of him playing at the highest level properly (premier league) and Liverpool have bid £35 million for him. He's no world class player, struggles to get into the England squad and recently had something going on with cocaine (whatever it was, i have no idea, just heard about it.)

Overall he's played 80 matches and scored 31 goals! Hardly astonishing. And last season, he was playing championship football! Where as Luis Saurez, who Liverpool also seem to be signing for £23 million, scored 81 goals in all 108 club league games hes played. Also, was a main part in (not just the hand ball) getting a country as small as Uruguay into the world cup semi finals. What's going wrong with football?!

I know the amount of money in the game is always spoken about by everyone, not just football fans. Spoken to the point where it has really started to piss me off, yeah footballers get paid way too much money, but complaining 24/7 will get you nowhere, but this really is getting beyond a joke now. Maybe £35 million for a player who is real quality and proven but Carroll isn't really good (yet) or proven. Only time will tell whether it was a good £35 million spent, but i really can't see it happening.

RANT OVER! *BREATHES*

Nice bit of business by NUFC

If Liverpool are stupid enough to pay that sort of money for him then well done to Newcastle. Your right, how on Earth can he be worth that much?

 

[Will1995]

Yeah, well done Newcastle, recouped all that money wasted on Owen but at some stage, people have got to look at this and stop it before it gets worse!

Good buisness by Liverpool, It's cost them £8m + A striker who does'nt want to be there for 2 decent strikers who do want to play for the club.

 

[Gully]

If Carroll scores a few goals that help keep Liverpool in the Premiership then it might look like a good piece of business...but it is a hell of a lot of money for someone who still isn't a top quality player, though he could well become one!

But surely you'd rather have David Villa/Wayne Rooney/Carlos Tevez instead of Carroll for the same money? I know i would.

..,

 

[Gully]

Tevez or Villa definitely, not sure about Rooney at the moment, but what are they worth if Carroll is worth £35m...yeah, I know, what people are willing to pay...but that would put Tevez at something like £50m+...which is quite frankly ridiculous!

Seems an odd time for Liverpool to be splashing huge amounts of cash. I would have thought it would be more sensible to decide on a manager for the long run and rebuild from the bottom up, as opposed to splashing large sums of cash about in this window. Oh well, it will keep the fans happy.

If you reckon.

It's a pretty clear indication that Torres HAS got a £50 million sell-on clause, and that Chelsea are going to stump up. Therefore, Newcastle know Liverpool have got £50 million coming their way and have bumped up the price accordingly. They probably had no intention of selling unless they were offered seriously silly money - and now they have been.
I do agree the world's gone mad, though.

fcuk me, can't imagine how much that makes gus worth!!!

Quick fix always the best option

Not really I rate Carroll very highly, Cant stand Liverpool myself but I think they've done some bloody good buisness there if it all goes through.

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Biggest deal in Spain: Elias from Corinthians to Atletico, £6m; Germany: Luiz Gastavo from Hoffenheim to Bayern, £12m; Italy: Pazzini from Sampdoria to Internazionale, £11m plus a player; France: Rod Fanni from Rennes to Marseille, £3.25m plus a few childish sniggers; Russia: Ibricic (from Hajduk to Lokomotiv Moscow, £4.2m; Turkey: Bogdan Stancu from Steaua to Galatasaray, £4.75m. England? Madness...

Obviously Liverpool will stay in the Premiership, their 6th!

Well, not much as he's struggled with form and fitness.
But he still IS one of the best strikers in the world.

Liverpool have actually taken leave of their senses. It boggles the mind.
