Captain America Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 This is from another forum I read but it made me laugh.11.08am: Surreal scene on Sky as their man outside the Spurs ground just shouts the names of random footballers in Harry Redknapp's face:"SERGIO AGUERO!"[Negative face wobble]"FERNANDO TORRES!"[Negative face wobble]"RICKY OTTO!"[Pause for thought, then negative face wobble] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Aye, Scott Parker?Seems like Liverpool are keen on Andy Carroll...rumour of a 30m bid rejected by Newcastle.I reckon Baines would be available if the money was right. Everton can't really afford to reject decent money for anyone.I love TDD. I'd pass on Scott Parker, we'll be paying over the odds for an older player who isn't really that good in all honesty.I think Everton would possibly agree to sell him but i think his mind is on Utd.

Everton can't really afford to reject decent money for anyone.I love TDD. 30 million for Andy Carrol is crazy money. Even 15 million is way over the odds IMO. The only real reason for Newcastle to reject a bid like that is no time to find an adequate replacement and AC *could* be the key to them staying up, although they're all but safe already.. It's the whole value to the club is a lot more than his actual market value argument as with Charlie Adam.18 million plus add ons for Darren Bent, and he's a proven goal pacher, with years of top flight experience so I struggle to see why AC is worth so much more! Plus he just doesn't suit the way Liverpool play. No width to get balls in for a target man and their delivery from set pieces is pretty poor, and even worse when Gerrard isn't playing!

Paranoid Android Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Some crazy offers flying around today it seems. Where was all this money in the summer?Liverpool offering nearly as much for Carrol as David Villa cost in the summer. That seems a little odd. Especially since he hasn't even played a full premiership season. And he's injured right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Just seen that the Suarez deal isn't completely finalised. Would love for Torres to be sold and then see that bid hijacked. Probably by the wheeler dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Liverpool bidding big money for Andy Carroll seems like a pretty sure indication to me that Torres will be gone by the time the day is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Didn't Aberdeen try to sign Invincible before he chose Killie instead? Dodged a bullet there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think Kenny said in his press conference this morning that the deal is now done. Just need to file the paperwork.But when the paperwork mysteriously disappears before being filed anything will be possible!Harry could easily get someone to do a bit of dirty work for him. And yes, the Carrol interest does seem to suggest Torres is on his way.Whether they'll let him go if they can't get anyone else is another question though.

Especially as you only net spend about 5 mill.I wouldn't be spending that much on Carroll though, half a season in the EPL and pay 30 - 35 million. No thanks.

Lemonade Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 30 million does seem a huge pay out for Andy Carroll. Surely they could find a better / proven striker for that money. Don't know who like, but that's why I'm not a football scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Oh yeah I agree (with Capt America). Suarez and Carroll would be a good front two. It would show good signs of Liverpool moving forward. The silly price for Carroll is the weird part about it. Don't think Torres is worth 50 mil either so like you say it might not be too bad for them.I still kind of expect Torres to stay. It'll be announced just after SSN run a piece where fans vent their anger against him and threaten to kill his mum. It'll be like Gerrard in '03. Torres to score against Chelsea on Sunday and then kiss the badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Jazz Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 30m for Carroll is ludicrous. Absolutely stark raving bonkers.Good player, but not even worth half of that....plus he's a fucking nutcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Oh well I think I can safely assume my club won't be making any signings today. And the only player we had playing anything like decent football was sold to Luton for 50k on Friday.So I can sit back and watch struggling teams bring in average loan players from France and Belgium and the bigger clubs pay stupid money for players! 30 million for Carroll! Fucking hell world has gone mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Question for you Delboy.What do you think of Crawley's cup run?As far as I know most non-league footie fans hate them and see obviously see them as the the Blue Square's Man City.Whereas most fans of bigger teams will see them as an underdog punching above their weight and knocking a few big boys down a peg or two. So can you put aside you league feelings and enjoy their cup success perhaps as some kind of non-league solidarity or would you like to see them embarrassed on any occasion possible?

So can you put aside you league feelings and enjoy their cup success perhaps as some kind of non-league solidarity or would you like to see them embarrassed on any occasion possible?That's a good question! The hatred stems from pure jealousy, there's a couple of threads on the Cambridge messageboard about them and mostly are fans are moaning and whinging about them and the way they've bought themselves to be where they are now. I know one thing, the shoe would be on the other foot if it was Cambridge getting the money pumped into them!Crawley manager Steve Evans is a shady so and so who was done for tax evasion whilst at Boston but he's a darn good manager. Rumours were him and his right hand man Paul Raynor (an ex player of ours) were heading for Cambridge when Crawley were up shits creek financially a couple of seasons ago. I'd have taken them with both hands. They know how to get the best out of players and shout and scream on the touchline causing mischief unlike a certain Mr Ling who stands clueless and bemused on the touchline hiding his chin under his coat!A measure of how quickly Crawley have risen due to millions being pumped into them is the start of last season, 18 months ago, they beat Cambridge, it was Martin Lings first game in charge. And Steve Evans said we had almost twice the playing budget of Crawley!So I wish them well and look upon their antics with a hint of jealousy for sure but not hatred. The only irritating thing is I wish I'd have seen a BSP club who really needs the money get such a lucrative tie! But they've done awfully well to earn the right to play Man Utd and good luck to them! But yeah they are universally hated in the BSP but mainly from bitter ex league clubs like ourselves with bugger all money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 looks like Liverpool have bought Carroll for thirty-five million. There are no words for what a ridiculous move that is. My desire to see them fail miserably increases daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
