Most unfunny man EVER. I think you'll find thats Sarah Millican.

In fairness to the lad, he was carrying a serious knock when he got there which I'm sure affected his start. He didn't seem fully fit until the end of the season to me.

Likewise. He'd have to have an absolutely storming couple of years in the Bundesliga to justify that fee.

Fucking hell. Almost two Papiss's. Presume he's the next Marco Van Basten for that sort of dollar.

We'll probably have to though Dave. That's the strong inclination from Liverpool. You'd have to say, Liverpool will gain absolutely nothing from loaning him. Even if he has an absolutely fantastic year for his loan club, bagging 25 goals in the process, Rodgers doesn't see him fitting in. He's already been told he's not wanted. He's never going to play for them again. Best case scenario for them is that his value goes up a bit. They're still sitting on a huge loss. That's their problem, their challenge: How big a loss can we take? Even if he has a great year somewhere else. He's still 2.5 years into his L'Pool contract when he gets back. They're losing money even if he does ok. As an asset, he's like a Range Rover Sport with a fuel leak. Expensive to run if it's working well. Fucking expensive with a problem. Brendan's dropped a rick and exascerbated that problem by publically confirming they don't want him. Like the bloke trying to flog his Range Rover Sport 'it's decent but I'll only ever drive Aston Martins from now on, in fact I've just bought a new one'. Fuck all chance of anyone giving the cunts what its worth now. They just want rid.

I'm not sure you can 'suss' out an Andy Carroll type player. It's hardly a surprise when he walks out on to the pitch as to what his strengths are. He's a bloody monster in the air. An absolute beast when he's on form and has that fire in his belly. How do you defend against that aggression? There's no question he'd hinder our fluidity though. As someone has mentioned, take WBA away last season, an Andy Carroll doesn't cart his lumbering frame up the pitch that quickly, to score those breakaway goals. He'll win us games we may not have won last year though. The question is all around style of play. I'm not sure I'd be prepared to sacrifice that for the sake of the local boy coming home. In fact, no, I'd rather watch a Hoillett style winger/fwd in a 4-3-3, even if not Jnr Hoillett himself, than put a round peg in a square hole.

Coupled with the fact we would have paid similar money for De Jong, it's not the blowing of the money I'm worried about.

Fucking morons.

Obertan says hello. His name crossed my mind as I was typing for some reason. What do you say that though, is the view that Carr wasn't involved in his signing or are you saying that he doesn't get it right all the time? The Carrminator never gets it wrong. That was Pards.

Obertan says hello.

I went with a 'No'. I just can't see him fitting in a system I'd want to watch every week. And that's taking into account all of the 4-4-2/4-3-3 arguments let alone the value argument where I think he's a massive investment and for the wrong reasons. We'd be taking him as an opportunist buy/loan and not because he's what we need. At least with the De Jong bid you knew we'd scouted the hell out of him and had a plan for his inclusion within the side. Carroll seems to be me to be fitting a square peg in a round hole just because he's in the bargain bin (relatively speaking, of course).

Which is fucking ridiculous. Who do they think they are? Expecting actual money for him? Real money. Cash?!!? Fucking Jokers.

As is Carroll for 6 weeks per season for the annual 'Romany Travellers Cup'. Played on freshly laid tarmac, caravans for changing rooms and Paddy O'Doherty as Team Gaffer. New venue every year. Not many big crowds but plenty of dags.

:spit: Closer style to Luke Skyewalker.

Was expecting someone to be reporting a £1.2m bid when I saw this bumped.

The mackems will bid for AC this window. He's a MoN player all day long.

I'd pay good money to meet you in real life. Watch your letterbox. Wire his fucking jaw. Big style like.

This is exactly what I expect. I guess a lot will depend on how he reacts to this offer and how well he performs for Liverpool before then. If they play him............................. Big Mike: Right, the clocks ticking so this'll be our final offer. £3M loan fee and we'll throw in Smithy. Dekka: Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. He's not here anymore Boss. Big Mike: Besty? Dekka: No boss. Blackburn. Big Mike: Right, fuck it, you can have young Simmo but there'll be no loan fee. He's a future England international. In fact, give us a £5m & AC and then we'll talk.

The Carroll Sale/Loaning is to free up wages imho.

Fine by me. This won't be the last of it though.

He wouldn't get a game for their fucking womens side.

'He's got good feet for a big man'.

Also worth remembering he was carrying a serious knock for them when he signed.

Here's how I see this panning out, especially for Bimpy now that he recognises my Nastrodamus-esque qualities, Carroll will return on loan with a view to a permanent deal. He arrives back to much media interest and is well briefed to keep his counsel on all things Liverpool. However, as the season progresses and on the back of one very good game, the Big AC drops a PR rick by stating his love for the Toon and his desire to stay at NUFC indicating that he never liked Liverpool and only feels at home with us. Cut to the end of next season, Ashley reneges on the permanent fee and slaps in a lower offer, cos he can be a cunt like that, and says to the Big Lad, kick up a fuss, stick your gypo cock in Stevie G's lasses Nose and let the Sunday Mirror capture it on camera, whatever it takes. We're paying the cunts £10m max with a £35m buy back deal. Have it.

Agree with this. He'll be back before his Liverpool contract is up for less than £10m. We knew Taxfree, we knew................... Oh look we got something right. Pathetic. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
