The Editor: Newcastle have broken their silence on the Andy Carroll saga - and have said a second bid from Liverpool has been rejected.

If we have offered £35m and it's been turned down then we have to pull out now. Anything over £25m is disgraceful for Carroll and the thought of a third bid of £40m is sickening me.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Newcastle must be insane to turn down an offer like that, its almost half the value of what the club is worth.

Sums it up for me. it's crazy money.

I know the owners are prob just putting the money where their mouths are, but this is fucking crazy. It's what we didn't want when they took over. We're just as bad as Citeh and the Chavs if we start this crap. not happy.

LOL, and this is why Mike Ashley is a complete twat for turning the offer down.

From a business point of view, and this is Ashley's downfall, the offer was way, way too good to turn down.

I'd have sold Gerrard for £35m, nevermind Carroll.

Conor Thomas signed on loan from Coventry - only 17.

Conor Thomas signed on loan from Coventry - only 17.

 

Only made his Coventry debut on Saturday too.

[Heinze]

Could we get. Llorente for 35?

[cole7]

Strange that its a loan deal

Led to believe NUFC are playing for time to find a replacement & aren't after higher bid. Crouch on loan one possibility being explored.

[Jim MM]

If Anelka is going to be part of the Torres deal I think we'll be withdrawing our interest in Carroll anyway.

Not if they maintain this stance due to not being able to sign a replacement in time mate. Without Carroll, and even though it looks unlikely looking at the table now, if they have a bad run of results, they could get pulled into the relegation scrap. This would be far more costly to them.

You'd think that NGog on loan might have been beneficial to them in that case?

 

As I said before, someone always ends up losing out, one club ends up at the end of the line, selling a top player to help another club replace their top player, and it's highly unlikely that anyone in the Prem is going to part with a top striker at this point of the season, with things being so tight.

 

Tell you what, I know he's a cunt of the highest degree, but Lee Hughes at Notts County can still find the goal and would be a handy stop-gap for the Toon for a minimal outlay.

Jay Bothroyd? Marlon King? Big gambles, admittedly, but it's the only way the Toon are going to find someone quickly with the ability to score in the Premiership.

[RazorBack]

That's too much I'm sure we can get both Sanchez and Turan for this kind of money.

[thompsonsnose]

Why dont we get Crouch back then?

£12million?

Lavvly jabbly......:whistle:

Marlon King, Lee Hughes and Joey Barton all in the same side? They may as well sign Ian Huntley as physio.

[Jim MM]

Got to get out of here for a while, it's doing my head in trying to keep up with all these threads.

[michaelgordon]

Thought Turan would be siging as i think i remember right that Kenny seemed to rate when on scounting trips

[bentw]

Handed in a transfer request apparently and bid accepted

[dennis tooth]

Yeah, we better get used to it it seems. Thought we were reasonable about the Suarez deal leaving them to hang out to dry for a bit even if we doubled our bid we still got value for money to get him for that price. This is just silly though and will cost us more than just this transfer I fear.

 

Carrol is a beast of a player but when the mind has gone, it has gone there's no getting it back. It will catch up and punish you in the end. More like Collymore than Toshack.

[redfromtubebar]

I hope there's a late bid going in for either Young or N'Zogbia.

[Red Phoenix]

Ashley's taking the piss out of us, I feel sick. He's probably laughing his head off.

[Pidge]

Heard from a Coventry supporter that that kid we've got on loan is very good. England u17 player. Central midfielder. Good competition for Coady and Suso hopefully.

[michaelgordon]

from the official, but is this an lfc or nufc record?

 

Liverpool FC confirmed this afternoon that Newcastle United had accepted a Club record offer for the transfer of Andy Carroll.

 

The Club have been given permission by Newcastle to discuss personal terms with the player, who will now travel to Liverpool for a medical.
