January 2011 Transfer Window Speculation Thread

[RED Tezza]

No word on whether it was accepted or rejected so don't panic just yet.

[RED Tezza]

yep now rejected, i get the impression this is going to be the way the day pans out and then Torres will still be here tomorrow due to not being able to get a replacement sorted.

[The Dude Abides]

Any chance of getting linked with a LB?

 

I've already made my mid up on that one though. We've already agreed a deal with Benfica to take Contreo in the Summer.

[YNWAViking]

Yeah we bid 30mill for Carrol - but it was turned down.

 

30mill for Carrol - isn't that a tad too much?!? Crazy.

Hope so.

I'd take Ivanovic or that other russian left back at Chelsea, Zirkov

Trouble is with any makeweights is you're getting players that really dont want to come.

[dennis tooth]

Further to this Carrol thing, his profile on the BBC website has been greyed out if you check the Newcastle team selector.

 

Ominous.

[J-V]

Would be just like us to blow the Torres money on the likes of Carrol and Adam.

Carrol will be fantastic.

We dont need Adam.

[Evil_Ways]

They are both good players.

Carroll can be crazy good if he reaches his potential.

The worry is his head i suppose, but worth abit of a gamble.

And it's not as if we have plenty of time to analyse targets now.

[N'Gog I Trust]

Carrol is shite.

[ReDeus]

Jesus Christ, we bid £30M for Andy Carroll??? Has the world gone mad? Someone at the club has truly lost the plot to make such a stupid bid.

Not in the slightest, if the BBC knew anything they'd be screaming it from the rooftops, just like any journalist.

Damien Comolli: We want to bring young English and British players into Liverpool team

[thompsonsnose]

Carrol is shite.

 

Is he bollox.

[Major Tom]

Would be just like us to blow the Torres money on the likes of Carrol and Adam.

 

Adam?

 

How about a wide player to put balls on Carroll's bonce.

 

Adam will sit on the bench.

[Kurt]

Is he bollox.

He`s obviously not shit. But he`s not worth more than max £20m. And his off the field behaviour makes it a massive risk.

Liverpool have offered Newcastle more for Carroll than Barcelona paid Valencia for David Villa this summer. madness

[JustTosh]

Shopping list:

 

1 Suarez

1 Carrol

1 Adam

 

Total Price = 1 Torres

 

I hate loosing El Nino, but this is probably good business. If we can get Carrol and/or Adam remains to be seen.

 

I’m full of hope we’ll sign Carrol and Adam. Have been saying for a long time Charlie Adam is undervalued. If we miss out now and we might loose him to Fergie in the summer and spend the next 10 years regretting.

[INTORRESTING]

Why are people still going on about what people are worth? If you want a player you have to pay! This attitude is prehistoric and our unwillingness to get with the times has held us back for 20 years!

 

If you want a player, you cough up - it's as simple as that.

 

We whine whilst United overpay and win the title every!

 

It seems some will never be happy.

Contract term, potential, timing of transfer etc etc

 

Such a simplistic argument.

[Red Lad]

If we lost torres and added Carroll, Adam and a winger like Hazard it wouldn't be bad at all. Won't happen in this window though.

[INTORRESTING]

Maybe we want Suarez, Torres and Carrol? As if Torres gets injured we will only have suarez who isn't an out and out striker - maybe too optimistic!

This has occurred to me.

Maybe Torres is to be thanked for putting a rocket up FSGs arse?

Exciting innit?

 

Edit 5Live just siad hes left Melwood in a chopper.

Madness.
