Agreed, it's just a big show by Ashley and co. Carroll's had his head turned by more cash and Ashley obviously wanted to sell, it's just like you say they needed a way of damage limitation for the fans so turning Carroll into the bad guy gives them a good out.

Last time I get my hopes up until Ashley is gone tbh. Just hope we don't go down, can't see the Fat cunt spending a wrapper.

Carl Fletcher tbh

I'd tell you to get a life, but it's clear you've got one just it revolves around us.

This is the problem, Liverpool have lost Torres and have panicked and come for Carroll. If he goes we're left with no one as the window shuts, money means nowt to us fans if it's not used to get quality players on the field.

I hate this deadline day, all these news reports saying he's keen etc, have they spoken to him? I'm not panicking anymore, only going to believe it when it's on Newcastle's site saying he's gone.

You're making some really strong points Fish but I've got me panic head on now, so looks like Mikes plans worked (if the latter part of your post is what's happening)

Me heart can't take this till midnight

That's it then, fucking Best and Ameobi up front. Lolenkrands? ffs. Oh yeah forgot we had that young talent backing them up £35m means absoloutely fuck all, how are we going to replace him?

That's it then, fucking Best and Ameobi up front. Carroll leaving takes any optimism I had that we were on the rise.

Fucking hell what's the point in selling him? we've just massively strengthened a rival while really weakening ourselves. Scrapping around the bottom now for us.

I gave him a tab and £2 on saturday in Wallsend. He came in the ship for a drink of everyones half emptys. Local Hero. Living Legend. Pure Bamp. He knows the score, he always tries to angle a meal out of people in all. He asked my youngun for a bite of his Subway one day the cheeky bastard. Drool hanging off his lip and aal that. What a horror he is. Might have him as my next avatar, tbh. PMSL he loves the lasses in all.

Are you Johnny Decker?

Ah fuck.

Seems to be what they're trying here, offering for Carroll and they already have Suarez in.

This is it like. £35m is mental money but it does us no good really as we wont get anyone to replace him and we'll never get anyone anywhere near his level to come to us, so like Parky says I'd reject no matter what because there's no point us sitting with even £60m in our pocket while having Shola+Best up front plus all our better players disgruntled. If I was running the club I would categorically NEVER sell Carroll. As you say the money these days doesn't mean much if it ain't on the pitch. The kind of person Carroll is and the relationship with the club also means he is irreplaceable. Clubs like Spurs and Liv also sense that we will challenge them in the not too distant future if we keep the likes of Carroll and add player like Tiote and so on... Agreed, the players don't expect Ashley to be the free spending type and it's obviously brought them together and created a real strong team spirit (helped by the season in the CCC). Selling Carroll would start to fracture the spirit as well as losing our best striker, it weakens us massively as well as strengthening teams near us. I know the money is insane but who would we attract?

Thank fuck!

If we sell to the scousers we're mugs, we're up against them for places especially now they're without Torres. Selling Carroll to them weakens us and strengthens them and with the window about to shut we'd get no one of note in to replace him, if we ever re-invested that money at all that is.

She's on the front of the Sunday Mirror today. "my pain over comments" "demands apology" etc. FFS It's class tbh no one had any idea who they were talking about until she put herself on the front page, some of the quotes from Glass inside were class things like "when I first saw it I just couldn't understand why they were talking about 'hanging out the back' of my wife" I think it's a fair assessment that Redknapp's probably had a good amount of girlfriends so this lad must be a fucking mind reader to have straight away known it was about her.

Anyway, fingers crossed he can improve the team which I think he will. Be great if we can recapture the form he had from a couple of seasons back but failing that I think he can still do a job for us until the end of the season when there'll probably be more on the market.

Fair one.

Just trying to defend you, I'm a bit worried if you're not a young'un.

To be fair Kevin I get the impression Deadman's only a bairn.
