why would they do that?

Morally I don't think I can keep Carroll in my team, despite the price.

Lacina Traore. I've mentioned him a few times today, but I really like him. Bet he's a cunt though, just like every other footballer in the world.

Everybody turn the volume down slightly....its JIM WHITE!!!!

Get a major striker, followed by the likes of Adam Johnson, Nevan Subotic and Lacina Traore. Also, several youngsters like Dale Jennings.

Next time we have faith in anything or anyone, just remember today.

Today will be hard to topple. It's not just losing a player - its the latest in a series of crushing events at the club.

lacina traore would be decent.

i've had enough, dave.

its mental seeing liverpool fans celebrating in the background that torres is out and carroll in.....imagine that in the summer! this just feels so crushing - absolutely devastated. by the way i don't think he'll be a success there and we've got an insane amount of money for him. but emotions > money for me. think there should be a 'neither' option on the poll, btw.

its part of controlling the backlash to Ashley: a) 'reject' a 2nd bid b) say he handed in a request.

you've all turned on him pretty quickly

Eh. I don't believe for a second that he actually handed in a transfer request. Read his interviews, man. Its all just part of the plan. Calling him a cunt.....howay man.

he's still leaving, isn't he?

yep. today will break all sorts of forum records.

he'll break his leg next month, probably. remember, this is Newcastle United.

love it how outsiders think we're committing the biggest mugging in history (if we accepted) and yet we're all gutted. its essential that he stays at this club though.

ive never been in so much shock!!!! bet the third bid (maybe £42m) gets accepted though.

REJECTED!!!!!!!! fucking hell

DC: more than £35m.....nearing £40m

Could this day have went any worse? Our squad will be pitiful.

your faith is incredible.

DC says he's being driven to Liverpool by Nolan.

i believe that ideally carroll would stay. but he's having his hand forced here. he'd not be travelling to liverpool if he was going to reject terms.

and right on cue, here come the mongs.
