I thought Carroll was excellent in Highlander

Surely while managers in certain clubs have simultanously took some sort of delusional drugs, we can sneak a "reliable source" mentioning Warnock on SSN and say is in a helicopter on an unknown destination ?? this would then create a frenzy and somone might put a 15m bid in for him ..........

One of the Birmingham-born Liverpool 'fans' in my office has just tried to convince me its a good deal, based on the fact that he'll do well for Liverpool. Well may be, but I can't help thinking they could have finished the rest of this season using Suarez, mentally write off this season, and begin long-term planning starting with the summer, when they will have £50m+ to spend at a time when quality players are cheaper and available. To spiff it all in the space of one or two hours on a mediocre talent like Carroll (who surely would still be available in the summer, presumably at a more realistic price) is sheer desperation and lunacy. It doesn't make any sense - footballing, commercial, economical, whatever - it just makes no sense to me.

And I'm fucking delighted. I honestly think we can finish higher than Liverpool this season now.

as much money as it is, and obviously 35 mill is a lot,
 i still bet there is not many Newcastle fans very happy about it, its players that make football teams not money in the bank,

 where do they go even with that sort of cash to replace Carrol ?
bearing in mind they will have the same problems as we have in atrracting players, ie no champs league, no  recent winning history, not London

You're absolutely right. Especially since carrol is a home grown talent.

I can hear the cries of bring back tino asprilla!!!!

They will be fine, they have Shola Ameobi and Leon Best..........


35 million is pure nuts. He might turn out to be a top striker, but he might turn out to be the next Michael Ricketts or Marcus Stewart.
Even Carlton Cole was more impressive a couple of seasons ago.
As said above they could get Benzema for that, could have go Adebayor too.
Also, he hasnt been a stranger to controversy in his short career, a lot of money to be gambling on someone like that!

I listened to Sunday Supplement on Jan 23rd when that wanker Holt was on. He called Randy buying that proven PL goalscorer Bent (it's fucking £18 million, not £24 million you twats) a panic buy. I'm sure however, all of that lot will pull a Holloway, and say how King kenny buying Carroll for £35 million shrewd business on deadline day.

Of course they will.  It will be seen as a master stroke by Kenny and a sign of the great club's ambition to regain their rightful place at the very top of football.

if the Carroll deal goes through, he will become the 7th most expensive footballer in the world.
