pretty standard lolerpool though, especially if they go through with 14m for adam

I'd be absolutely delighted with £35m, like out of my mind with joy, but that money just isn't gonna go back into the squad :(

35M is way to much for Carrol, but, what is Liverpool supposed to do?
Torres wants out and gave the manager(or actually Cormolli) 3days to find a replacement.
Liverpool have to buy a striker today since going into the rest of the season with Jova,Kuyt,Ngog and Suarez as the attacking option doesnt look good, especially since Suarez will probably need a few months to settle.
And in the summer the fair play rule comes into play so Liverpool couldnt spend the money the get on Torres(teams can only spend what the make + a little extra) this summer. Either they spend it today or it goes into the owners bank account for ever.

Sure Newcastle and Blackpool look to be destroying Liverpool in these negotiations but this is the position Torres has put them in.
If he had any class he would at least given Liverpool 3weeks to find replacement allowing Liverpool to go after other strikers and not be held hostage by Newcastle.


But on the bright side I think a Suarez-Carrol partnership could be deadly and probably a lot more effective then a sulking and bored Torres.
+ Defenders will be scared shit less of Suarez-Carrol combo, no because they are gonna score so much but because they are scared Carrol will beat them up and that Suarez will bite them ;).

"LFC is my English club, the way Atletico is my Spanish. I would not like to play for another English or Spanish club"

Fernando Torres 2009

Hypocritical lying little shite.

Liverpool got raped in the Carrol deal but a Suarez-Carrol attack is gonna be sick.

Fernando Torres just become one of the most hated players in football.
I hope he enjoys Terry banging his wife.

Carroll/Suarez looks good on paper but it remains to be seen if they'll gel. Carroll is still relatively unproven and the fee is ridiculous even in today's market. Bent went for over £10m less and his goal-scoring record at Premier League level is exceptional. Villa look like they got a bargain compared to Liverpool's desperate last minute gamble. On the other hand, Carroll IS promising, so if he turns out to be the next Shearer they might still have a bargain.
Suarez looks a decent player, but South Americans don't always do that well here with obvious notable exceptions. But if he can subdue his taste for human flesh long enough to show his best form and score some goals he could be a huge hit. But beware high scoring strikers bearing armfuls of Dutch League goals. Kuyt has never been as prolific in the EPL as he was in the Eredivisie and as for Afonso Alves... the less said the better.
Looking at the games tonight it looks like Rooney has got his scoring mojo back. If he hits his stride and Berbatov keeps knocking hat-tricks in ManUre look like they'll be hard to catch. Chelsea are looking like they're waking up from their winter hibernation and i think they're most likely to mount any serious challenge. Arsenal can beat anyone on their day but i don't think they can put the kind of run together that they'd need to finish top. City and Spurs will be too inconsistent and distracted by cup competions.

Carroll is 22, good in the air and good on trhe ground. 35 mill is TOO much, but 25 mill would be pretty close to a realistic value IMO. Then again, 15 mill for Shearer looked too much - until he turned out to be Shearer. Carroll is a class player, if he can control his dark side.
Suarez - time will tell. Is he another Tevez at 24 - if so, great deal. Certanly more proven than Chicarito at ManU and he has done OK so far.
Torres. Played great for 2 years. Has played like crap for over a year now, Liverpool and Spain. Will he stay injury-free and back to his best? Rather he was at Chelsea than ManU. He was never going to stay at Liverpool. Thanks for the memory. Hopefully we have swapped 1 great but troubled striker for 2 very good strikers, maybe great. If so, Torres plus 9.5 mill may not be a bad deal.

Just fwiw, this is in no way comparable to Shearer. He was already the best striker in the world, £15m was only a couple of million more than the previous record, definitely not 'too much'
