diehardvillan Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 RBuxton_LFC Richard Buxton #LFC agree £35M fee for Andy Carroll. Ludicrous amount for a largely unproven striker but with Torres leaving, a replacement was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The Times announcement Liverpool have made a £35 million offer for Andy Carroll, the England striker, matching Newcastle United’s asking price. Although the deal remains some way from being completed, Liverpool see the raw but talented 21-year-old as the perfect replacement for Fernando Torres, who appears set to conclude a deal to join Chelsea later today. The arrival of Carroll at Anfield would send out a signal of intent as Kenny Dalglish attempts to rebuild his squad. A number of factors are still to be agreed, including Carroll’s personal terms. Anfield officials made their first formal offer for Carroll early this morning, but Newcastle rejected their initial £25 million bid. The Times Website.. Just a totally different sort of player to Torres imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm actually quite angry at this. Carrol is a word removed of the highest order. He has shown a reasonable amount of promise for 6 months and now he's the subject of the highest ever domestic transfer (and will no doubt have a salary to match). I really do hate football sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 £35m agreed fee apparently for Carrol Where's that picture of the panic button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 That is crazy. £30m was bad enough, but now £35m?! When you spend that sort of money you want a player who is proven in that league or the type of signing that is known as 'World Class'. Andy Carroll is neither and Newcastle will be laughing their way to the bank. Carroll may be a star but that is crazy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 He is very young though so that jacks up the price. After only 6 months in the prem there is probably more of a chance he'll go downhill rather than improve. The 'unknown' factor should act as a stabiliser.

Suarez and Carroll up front is better than a sulky Torres i suppose and it's not my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
