It's the latest figure man, stop asking questions.

£18.6m does seem to be on the high side. Would prefer to pay less than £18.6m. £18.6m and Liverpool are doing well as a seller. £18.6m.

A FIFA version of Keefaz's goalkeeper experiment.

But they won't though.

BottleDog, are you also Realist by any chance? Just a feeling I've had over the last few days.

God, the patter in this transfer window is doing my fucking head in.

Well we should clearly move on or try to unsettle the player if they're seriously asking that much for him. No chance.

He's buying him as a centre back lol.

Who's Marc Walton?

Everyone of Algerian decent looks the same ? As bad as Saurez you like. At least I can spell their names you xenophobe. It's homophobe.

Oh good, the co-commentator's a proper dickhead.

The player drives a lot of the activity these days but then again if Liverpool are only interested in selling him and we're offering no more than a loan then it might be a bit of a Michael Owen to us situation where he has to go to West Ham or wherever rather than sit on the bench. If it's a straight race between us and another club on a permanent deal then I can see Liverpool having to accept a bit less money as the player holds a lot of sway.

Well what the fuck's Chris on about then?

Chris (Listening) Chris Hi, my name is Chris. How may I help you?

Aha I see. Yeah, what a div.

What did Rodgers say exactly?

I love the idea that Liverpool hold any kind of power in this situation. We could take him or leave him, who cares. No chance we'll get the raw end of the deal.

Can just imagine a few posters waking up, reading the thread title and just pulling a sickie and going straight back to bed.

I'll only believe that when we make a bid for Enrique as second choice goalkeeper.

Exactly, same goes for Coloccini when people quite rightly say he's been our best player for 3 years on the bounce. You can only beat what's in front of you and Carroll was murdering defences for around 12 months.

Yeah, I thought he was excellent in that second half of the Championship season, can specifically remember thinking that he wasn't much cop before Christmas (although tbf it was his first real run of games for the club), improved massively after Christmas and basically carried on and improved on that form in the Premier League. Not only did I think that his overall game was coming on a lot but the quality of goals he was scoring was going up as well. I really don't think we're talking about 4 months of good form here, I think that's very harsh - it's more like about a year's very good form as a very young player. Move didn't work out for him, it became clear quite quickly that if he was going to make a success of himself then it wouldn't be at Liverpool. He's still only 23, at 23 Alan Shearer was coming back from setbacks of his own (in this case injuries) and hadn't really proved a great deal himself.

This long ball stuff. It's just like when Spurs used to play long ball whenever Crouch was in the side. It's a myth man. The points about 4-3-3 vs 4-4-2 are of course more valid but I'm with those that are saying there will potentially be a hell of a lot of games next season.

Wouldn't completely shock me like, if they think he can play a big part in keeping them up then it's not too bad a deal for them.

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?

As a side note I'd be interested to know what Carr thought of Carroll as a player, you'd like to think we don't make offers without his input at this stage.
