Lacina Traore. Keep us ticking over til the summer.

DC says he's en route to Liverpool

who the hell is gonna provide crosses at liverpool?

deny it all we want, £35m has been offered and we'll clearly accept it. our only hope is carroll rejecting but can't see that happening, really. it feels like Sky are forcing us to sell.....

not ready for him to leave. we had a great thing going on and its only been half a season.....i pictured us having happy years together and getting back into europe. to get rid just like that? that really hurts

david craig denying this £35m bid

shitty shit

he's got that embarassing 'EASY' headline as his background pic. he's got glasses drawn on his face and 'hates capello with a passion' of course its not real....

not even 3pm yet. gutted.

rescheduled for tomorrow (Caulkin)

cant wait for this press conference. hurry up.

Bargain

Nobody is arguing £35m isn't a great price. Just not today, not like this and not to Liverpool.

Not yet but once Torres goes, they'll probably go to £32m-£35m. Then its 'shit a brick' time.

James Beattie going to Blackpool.

Yep. Bring back the boredom!

Why did Everton let Pienaar and Yakubu leave if they aren't using that money to buy someone? For £3m it was worth just keeping Pienaar.

i swear its been 1:19pm for an hour now. just be 11pm already!

fucking hell. its gonna get even worse.

"Liverpool have no intention of selling Torres"......who are they trying to kid? They've just bid for Carroll man. Torres is gone gone gone.

Its just incredible seeing us rejecting £30m bids on deadline day! But Carroll is not for sale at any price today. If in the early summer we're given £35m-£40m then we'll see but theres no chance of him leaving right now. After everything Ashley has done, I just have to say well done to the regime for holding firm so far. Everyone sit tight, it's gonna be a long day.

Will never ever happen.

Briefly mentioned in another thread, but I reckon we'll make a late move for Larsson. That'll be it and concludes another good January window for us. In general, Torres will stay, Adam will go to Liverpool, Bradley to Villa, West Ham will panic buy 3 or 4 players, Spurs will fluke somebody VdV style (maybe Forlan), Chelsea will get a defender, Everton will find a striker and there'll be a few loan deals going around.

Caulkin has posted his deadline day predictions: NUFC: Ireland loan confirmed, no more incomings, Xisco leaves, Barton new contract announced, Carroll stays. Sunderland: no more incomings,Reid joins Blackpool on permanent deal (replacing Adam?), Da Silva to Zaragoza, perhaps other loans out. I reckon its Ireland in, Xisco out and a late bid for Larsson that could go through. David Craig will try to create drama with Carroll but theres no way he's leaving so he'll look even more stupid than usual. Especially with ketchup around his mouth.

£5m agreed fee is very good. Impressive.
