CArroll Handed in Transfer request, Request granted Move to Liverpool Back on. You can't make this shit up.

[silverlining]

SSN reporting Carroll just handed in a transfer request -- Newcastle has accepted it.

 

Does that change anything?

 

I suppose it means Carroll wants to come, but I'd assumed he would anyway. Handing in a transfer request 6 hours before the deadline seems almost totally pointless.

Carroll has put in a transfer request

[YNWAViking]

According to the Blackpool CEO Adam will NOT go to LFC tonight.

[redfromtubebar]

lfc.tv reporting fee agreed with Newcastle for Carroll.

[The Acolyte]

Shit day for Newcastle. Ireland failed his medical!

[Hugo Sanjeev]

Conor Wickham is the better bet. 17 year old lad that's got more potential than Andy Carroll and at a 1/3 of the cost.

 

I think Carroll, with the right players around him ie Wingers, could be sensational for us. But the fee being reported is absolutely obscene.

 

For less than what Carroll would cost, you could sign both Lukaku and Wickham.

[RedEagle]

Andy fucking Carroll.

[silverlining]

Andy fucking Carroll.

 

 

Hahahaha!

 

I'm thinking this isn't a positive declaration?

[Red Banjo]

Not when all we've wanted is to be able to spend this money and more importantly have people who back the manager.

 

We're just never fucking happy.

 

I won't generalise here - i'll speak personally. I worshipped Torres, he became one of the best strikers on the planet whilst wearing a Liverpool shirt, and singing his name on the Kop and watching him score goals for fun filled me with happiness i haven't felt since God did his thing here. Now the past 6 months have been tough, i'd pretty much accepted Torres would leave but the reality of it happening and his timing have been much harder to take than i had imagined. Getting the best deal for the club is the important thing here, and spending nearly all of that money on Andy Carroll, for me, maybe a little hasty. We're replacing the best in the business with a guy who at 22 is still being labelled massive potential. Its a risk, and whilst i support Kenny's and the club's decision - i can't help but think we're being taken advantage of here. Carroll is a very good player - but is he £35m good? Im not so sure. Its not about "never being fucking happy" but not wanting the club to be rushed into making a decision that may not hold the value for money that we would like it to be. Ofcourse Torres is the one to blame here but i don't think there's a lot wrong but being optimistic and cautious.

Handing in the transfer request - at Newcastle's request - is a PR stunt, I suspect. It will deflect some of the fan's anger away from the club, and maybe even save them a few bob...

Gerrard from the wing whips in a high ball up jumps carroll boom header top corner 1-0 liverpool ! chelsea look beaten boys and Torres looks like he wants to cry !

Sweetens the deal for Ashley if Carroll gives up the loyalty bonus he'd get otherwise.

charlie adam on way to liverpool - sky

And what does Carroll get out of it?

[The Acolyte]

Confirmed. Transfer agreed on the offical site.

[silverlining]

Carroll and Adam signing.

 

Good grief.

[seven of eleven]

Back to the good old days of liverpool FC when we set british transfer records we went out and got the best and those days has returned.

 

Don't give me shit about Carroll ain't good enough this lad is a beast he is like a cross between shearer and teddy S in 1 player he will be a legend ! i am 100% sure and with luis omg we gonna rip up the prem.

 

King kenny we trust !

[J-V]

ffs Carrol show some loyalty to Newcastle.

[paddyberger15]

I'd be fucking delighted with the Carroll signing. Granted he is well over priced, but you just have to suck it up when clubs know you are after a player. If eventually we were to swap Torres for Carroll and a winger for the same dough, given that Torres wants away, I'd be well pleased with that.

Sometimes you just have to cough up the dough and break club records. Carroll could well be fucking ace for us. He is good in the air, good on the ground and a real presence up front. I'd be well pleased with that signing. Fuck the money, for too long we have dicked about and missed out on players for a few million here and there. Just get it done, he's a proper centre forward.

[Josef Svejk]

And what does Carroll get out of it?

 

A hefty pay rise, for starters.

[Original202]

Wow, what a day. And Adam, too?

 

LFC.tv were appealing for fans to help them break the record for the highest number of page impressions in one month only last week. I think they might just break it now - although saying that, the site's crashed!

[Red Phoenix]

This kid better get his head sorted out off the field, or we're going to look like complete idiots in the not too distant future.

[Magellan06]

He'll loose some by requesting a transfer to be fair to the lad. Thats what made the difference to NU I would think.
