He will later I suppose, though. Aye, tomorrow probably. He's just got on a flight with his teammates for their game tomorrow so looking doubtful...

They reckon that kind of injury is 12month min according to TalkSport...

Wigan looking at getting Zaha... Still a good option for us...

Adam to Stoke confirmed...

Tough group for Liverpool...

Another great fee for Spurs... Dawson for £9m would just top it...

Abramovich has just won his court battle... Wonder if he will celebrate by buying Hulk/Falcao...

Sounds like the name of a s*** 90's rental shop. That's a blast from the past... Remember watching them in the final against Real Madrid in 1985...

QPR must have more than 25 senior players at the club now, Shirley. Was thinking the same. Must be a fair number of players that cannot be registered that they will still need to pay. They let 14 go in the summer and have spent only £8m this summer... all according to the owner...

Any one notice Simpson do his usual and throw straight to their player in the corner and 5-10seconds later they are in shooting range... Was like a re-run of Arsenal...

Besides the fact that we didn't pay £12m to get him back? Pretty relieved hearing this tbh. Still want us to sign someone, but it would have been ridiculous. Agree with both... Now the club know they can't hide behind the Carroll deal... We know going off bids put in for Carroll/De Jong that we have £12m approx min in the kitty to strengthen the squad...

nope Yes... How is it? We won't be signing anyone else. Do you hold Shola Ameobi in higher regard than Carroll? We don't know that for sure though I admit it's not looking great... Carroll would be a waste of our resources in my opinion and would be nothing but trouble off the pitch which thankfully we seemed to see the back off last season and reaped the rewards...

nope Yes...

Defo... Good fit for them...

He's looked very ponderous every game I've seen him play so i'd personally disagree... Looking at the comments the Rhodes transfer has received i think it seems quite clear not many people think he is worth £8m...

How... Where will he get the service from?... We'll just end up with the same problem Liverpool have now... Don't quite understand what you are getting at here? Our strike force scored plenty last season, so to me they must have been getting decent service. Why would that service change if Carroll was on the pitch? You're including goals Cisse and to a lesser extent Ba scored through their quality alone, ala Chelsea. Also the service Carroll requires differs to that of Cisse. Cabaye putting a through ball for Cisse is ideal, whereas Carroll's strengths lie else where. Last time around with AC our play was very much one dimensional. That's my understanding of what he's getting at anyway. This mantra is regularly trotted out. And it's absolute garbage. Tell me where you will fit him in the team etc...

Rhodes £8m to Blackburn

Our strike force scored plenty last season, so to me they must have been getting decent service. Why would that service change if Carroll was on the pitch? Because if you take a closer look at our season we created very view chances and fortunately converted a high percentage of them... Carroll is not that kind of striker... Also if you have learnt anything from his time here you'll will of noticed he was only affective with a team built round him playing crosses mainly from Barton who is thankfully also long gone... The few games he did have with Ben Arfa it was noticeable he wasn't suited to the subtle change of style... You only have to look at Carroll's recent highlights package from Liverpool to see it's mainly all aerial... We don't currently have a decent crosser of the ball at the club... I'd recommend you re watch our goals from last season and let me know which ones you'd fancy Carroll to convert... We did brilliantly getting 5th but we never open teams up and make a host of chances...

Really hope West Ham get him...

Sums the situation up perfectly. Excellent post! Spot on...

What do you mean by the current financial climate? NUFC are one of the few clubs cash rich... TV appearances and 5th finish & Shirt sponsorship has massively increased... Then next years bumper TV deal kicks in... We've a net spend of only £3m but it would be save to say that taking in what the new players will be on compare to those that of left we've probably spent minus this window... If nothing changes in the next 2days it's been a very poor window... Missed opportunity to build on 5th... Possible extra competition to try and win... Give believe to the players who signed and re-signed last season... And just as importantly give something to the fans... I agree with others on hear not wanting Carroll... More versatile striker and Debuchy please...

That's the way I see it...

Thought they'd hang on for Walcott... Wonder were he will end up...
