Carroll saga continues...
It is being reported that a deal had been agreed with Liverpool for around £35 million, but this news has proven to be inaccurate after it emerged that the club have rejected a second, improved offer in excess of £35 million for the striker.
This story isn’t dead yet though and there will be more twists and turns until the window closes at 11pm this evening.

to back it all up:
OK: some new news on Carroll. Sky are reporting that the second, improved, bid for Carroll has been rejected. The man from the cut-price sports shop: he says no. What does this mean? Are they holding out for more? Is the Torres move now stymied? It’s implausibly tangled.
TBH I’ve kind of come to terms with him leaving and thinking about reinvesting the money. If we reinvested the money well it’d be quite tidy business. Too many conflicting emotions man…
Is it 11pm yet?
Come on Ashley. Be a hero
This is a business to the fat man, not a football club. This is his poker game.
someone on eds is saying carroll has been spotted in dinnington
hitman can ya get too the ground and shut that c@nt craig up for me plz
stu aye i hope pool dont call his bluff
Right I’m going to Stockholm and when I land I fully expect this saga to have ended, one way or the other.
My money is on Carroll being a Pool player.
IMO carroll is going, this rejecting big money is just bullshit so Ashley can claim he tried to keep him before the offer was too good to refuse, they will have a price agreed already I fear.
i wish batty,hes just says that spurs might be making a late bid,and we have asked about crouch

I do, that way he stays and we have shown the so called ‘big clubs’ that we aren’t just some shitty little selling club. Cannot see it though.
jay spot on m8 smoke screen i did my best but the offer was too good
Looks like common sense has gone if they arent giving up at £35m, How they can consider paying more than that is ridiculous.
Unbelievable, Looks like they are just determined to prove a point now like Fergie when he signed Carrick for silly money…
Reckon this will go until about 9/10. Fatty is just trying to squeeze every last penny out of them. We reject 30 and they reply with 35. Ashley as a business man will immediatly see it as smart to take the chance on rejecting the bid and having them hopefully reply with something in the region of 38/40. I get the impression that he’s essentially gone, we’re just trying to make the most of it financially.
It’s already too Late to replace him I reckon aswell, nevermind come 10pm or so when this deal is finalised. Watch us offer 5 mil for Bothroyd at 10:45 or something.
If we don’t sell him, that’ll be more than a few brownie points for Ashley.
I will personally think about going to back to sportsdirect at some point in the future, next time I need some donnay socks
stu aye m8 ya right ,then tiote 15 mill barton 10 colo 10 enrique 15 20
traitor
Time to get Robben(bust up with muller recently on pitch) and eto’o in,if Carroll is set to leave.
is apparently rising to 40million.
Nolan is in the car with Andy carroll? both going liverpool?
transfer request put in by carroll…………. gutted.
FKIN TRAITOR
Only problem is though, is what incentive does Barton, Enrique and Tiote have to stay? What does it twll them?
Also we now have to go forward this season with Strolla, Lover, Ranger and Best as our strikers! God help us!
from sky
More twists in the Andy Carroll saga. Newcastle have accepted a transfer request from the striker – in spite of Liverpool’s two rejected bids.
Carroll transfer request? what?
Now Andy has handed in a transfer request????!!!
Hope it just bullsht
don’t go man
please stay and grow with the team that will make all of us proud.
That’s that then.
liverpool website says nufc have acepted offer after carroll hands in transfer request, just when you though it couldnt get any worse, good on mike for holding out so long though.
SkySports
Liverpool FC confirmed this afternoon that Newcastle United had accepted a Club record offer for the transfer of Andy Carroll.
traitor traitor traitor break a leg carrol you dirty judas c unt
bid has now been accepted,according to evil sports
Not happy, offer too good to turn down, unfortunate there was no time to get a replacement blah blah blah.
can’t believe he’s handed in a transfer request after constantly pulling the home town club thing. Don’t think too highly of the lad now.
That’s it?
Is it fuck, sky have been wrong all day and have lost any dignity what so ever. They are loving the ratings and turning it into a soap opera.
Maybe Carroll couldn’t see a future at the club, or at least a trophy!
In fairness though this is a ridiculous fee for Liverpool to be paying. Outrageous in fact.
I will reserve judgment on this decision by Ashley until August 31st. I fully expect all of this to be spent in strengthening the squad. Plus what he would have had anyway, so we should have 50m to spend next summer?
Bit more concerned about now though!
Transfer request? Never thought I’d see that from him, absolutly gutted, after all the sh!te he spoke about wanting to be here for the rest of his life. He can’t play for us again after this, it’s done.
Chasing the money at the first opportunity.
After the club stuck with him through all the court cases, All the headlines and how about Nolan who had to have these 8 foot retard living in his spare room and having to call the polis after someone torched the pricks car on his drive.
Nice one Andy enjoy pissing away all that potential, Far too much, far too soon, The biggest waste of talent since Arsenal signed Richard Wright and Francis Jeffers.
Mercenary Twat shitting on you hometown club 5 hours before the deadline…
This is why you never get a player’s name on the back of your kit.
This is one crazy day. As upset as I would be to see Carroll go, there’ now way you can reject that kind of money…no way! The goals will still come, don’t worry about that. And come summer, Newcastle will be able to legitimately target a few key acquisitions. This is a good bit of business. An Academy player being sold for 35 Million GBP…that’s an owner’s wet dream.
Never forget that football is a business and the players are and owners are business men.
If he has handed in a transfer req the f**k him
Aye Ross, if it turns out he did turn in a transfer request and this deal falls through, he’ll be an absolute outcast.
will he pass a medical?
crackin transfer window this 3 or 4 oot none in fatty quids in
what’s the craic then? just got back so know owt other than that treacherous tw@t has put in a transfer request….owt happened wi Ireland?
Any rumors of us actually signing anyone?
Would be last time he goes down the biggmarket…
Ireland failed medical, can’t believe Carroll – what happened to I dont want to move anywhere – I want to be a newcastle legend
As soon as Liverpool offer him 80k he’s handing in a transfer request
Make no mistake this is about money – Carrolls been having us for mugs
Ireland deal still on according to Gerrard Houllier. Can’t believe he handed in a transfer request! Makes it easier to say goodbye I suppose, what a f*cker! Pray that the money is reinvested. Wolfswinkle in the summer? Lavezzi? Cavani? We will see boys. Get tiote and Jose to commit and we’re still in good shape. Remember how Rooney to united benefited Everton? There is yet hope…
http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20110131/carroll-bid-accepted_2281670_2281221
I’m choked
really disappointed with AC
they can have the traiturous woman beater
turns out the funeral I was at today is gonna be the highlight of the day
f*ckin lying moneygrabbing tw@t
would like to know how the players feel about this
hope it’s doesn’t break spirit in the team
Go get robben or eto now.
well we still have superSho
I have to say like, Ashley’s still a tw@t in my eyes but well done for resisting all those mindblowing bids……….now invest ALL the money+ in the summer ya lying fat cnut
………..unless of course he give AC £5m to put in the transfer request so that Ash wouldn’t get all the abuse 
I wonder how Alan shearer feels.
So lets sum up the window:
In – HBA
Out – Xisco
Out – Routledge
Out – Carroll
The squad is weakened yet again.
I am heart broken. A transfer request? There is no honour left in this game. I hate the whole rotten overhyped piece of crap game. This window is a joke. Why wait until the last day to complete these deals?? There is no hope of reinvestment now. 50 million for a player who has been awful. 24 million for Bent who has been crap this season. 35 million for a lad who has only played 20 games in the Premier league. Agents are ruining the game and the sooner the financial sanctions are brought in the better.
Liverpool don’t even have a manager and are playing awful. We hammered them a few weeks ago too…
Batty I would agree with you mate, if it’s true that he has asked for a transfer which seems to be true
fuk him the greedy c@nt
Kiss goodbye to the good run of form and strong team spirit-Reckon all the lads will be rocked by it, but hoping Nolan can pull it all together, he’s absolutely vital for us right now. Also goodbye obviously to dreams of grandeur and europe etc, got to be all about securing survival and nothing else, just like at the beginning of the season-17th is brilliant. Get ourselves a decent striker with more loyalty in the summer, followed with some more re-investment in the squad, here’s hoping anyway.
so what’s exactly the price then , 35 or 40 ???
anyway hope it re-invest to improve the squad ….. in the summer then
If we are smart we will now table bids for both Krancjar and Pavlyuchenko.
magpie may ya can hope ,but it wont happen
eltoro plz dont say the word smart when ya on aboot newcastle ,because we know there not
El toro
Great shout but will arry sell pavlyuchenko now Keanes fcuked off
bensmith_Times
.Now being told Andy Carroll’s move to #lfc is done. Personal terms, the lot … #nufc
ET I doubt Uncle ‘Arry would sell them to us… Emphasis is on “us”
Fernando Torres submitted a transfer request after he gave Liverpool a chance…..
We obviously have played better than expected before the start of the season, but Andy Carroll hands in a transfer request…..
Hard to say Mike Ashley::Respect
come to think of it
if the reported to be true that AC hand in transfer request then obviously he’s not really love an commit to the club
so maybe they would think they’d better off without him
since we the team that play with heart and soul for the club
I can now accept this transfer given the fact that Judas WANT’S to join the Bin Dippers.
Time to move on, starting at Fulham on Wednesday.
HTL.
Cheers Andy. Cheers for sticking by tour home town club and chasing the dreams you lied about. Cheers for sticking bu the club that made you. Cheers for running away at the first oppurtinity from the club who stick by you through all of your court cases and troubles….
some lad on eds reckons HE put in a transfer request 2 weeks ago and it was knocked back and HE kicked off,dont know if this is true like..
Lying little scum bag – after all the club has done for him, putting up with all his crap, and first opportunity to get on his toes for a larger wad of cash he goes. Well hope he enjoys spending the readies and reflects on how he has sold out.
did Ireland defo fail med, skysports side banner has him doon as a player in
maybe this seem to be harsh
but I really do hope he can’t just make it
sorry AC
Yeah Rich seems strange. Just saw that on SSN.
His career will nose dive im absolutely sure of it, He’s gone too early and not just that he’s gone to easily the worst side to try for him this window. What a waste of talent
For Francis Jeffers, Richard Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips, Read the scummy mercenary twat that is Andy Carroll…
andy carrol biggest newcastle traitor ever
The only thing i can say is.
All the Best carroll in your new club.
Sad/furious thing is we can’t buy or loan any foreign players now as is too late.
Now we might be seeing Ranger starting games,and hopefully getting roman on loan in…
We don’t need players at the club who have no affinity.
The club is much bigger than JUDAS.
So Toonsy, now that our one trick pony offense has flown, is it time to “rush out” yet? Sheesh.
Aye, to be honest I thought it was Ashley holding out for more cash whilst telling Carroll in private that he was off.
Now that we know Carroll handed in a transfer request, maybe Ashley WAS actually sticking to his guns and told Carroll he was going neewhere which had him turn round and ask to leave.
He can f*ck right off as far as i’m concerned. 22 years old wearing the no9 and he’s walked out on us at the first available opportunity.
Hope he realises what he’s doing here, walking out on his home town club and his city. He’ll never pull on the B&W again and he’ll be lucky to show his face around Newcastle on a regular basis.
After everything the club has done for him aswell given his pathetic off field behaviour.
Cheers for nowt Andy, you money grabbing Traitor. B@stard.
Some lads on mad are saying weve agreed fee for Connor Whickham and he travelling up…
CC
cwarr07 “twitter guy” is also saying the same thing…..
He says its going to be a loan deal
Is this a good time to remind everyone that I’m selling a pair of season tickets in March
I’m choosing to look on the bright side at the moment:
35M to spend and Xisco with his 60K a week has effed off…
Connor Whickham on loan? are you kidding, we can’t even attract a championship player full time?
To be fair he’s looked the business in the championship but if we’re replacing the traitor with a loan deal for a lower league striker, it’s scary.
No i think he means they are bringing in a striker on loan and Wickham if we agree a fee…I hope
MDS….assuming alll the money is made available for funds, and the problem is every club we try and buy from will hike up their prices now
who said AC put a transfer request in – the club/fattso ? – i wouldn’t put a penny on that being the truth.
i’d be suprised if AC didn’t deny this in the next couple of days.
Ross…tbh loan deals make sense now with so little time left in the window, better than panic buying, and like I said clubs will hike up the prices if we come knocking now.
Richie- I thought of those things, but was able to block them from my mind. Stop ruining the brightsode for me!!!
aye roy a kna what ya meen but divent stick up for the traitor ,he wasent even a proper geordie he was from gateheed roy
batty…practically a cockney then
Hope he fails his medical
Would we get the compensation on Andy Carroll after he turns 23/24? when the bunch of clowns called FIFA executives sit and decide the worth of the player and how much the parent club ash to paid
Roy I really cant see the club saying he had put a transfer request in if he hadn’t, but I could be wrong.
I think Carroll has took the pay rise and said fuk you’s for sticking by me when I needed you’s
hahahaha – HEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRMY !!!!!!
batty
Now I have a few conspiracy theories on why he’s been out for so long with an initially thought “minor” injury…
dave – i wouldn’t trust anyone or anything that comes oot the toon m8
but I hope the deal go through
if not then it would be so fcking bad scenerio in the team
and we won’t get the money either
Roy
For once I completely agree, something smells fishy to me, suddenly handing in a transfer request only days after saying he wants to stay?
Have they come together and said it would best for all if he handed in a transfer request? Has his agent told him the club wouldn’t mind if he left so handed it in?
Wonder how it came to that, smell a bit fishy to anyone else? Am I being naive and is it just about money?
roy-An official statement from the club confirmed it mate. we “reluctantly accepted” a transfer request early this afternoon.
all owa tw@tter that we have 17 mill bid in for bendter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ
Roy I wouldn’t believe half the shite our club come out with. but I just think he has just had his head turned with the prospect of more than double your money.
Lets face it as it stands it looks like he has turned his back on his Hometown club now that he has lived the dream
mikey – it’s nice te see youv’e come te ya senses at long last
Nicklas Bendtner? ffs sake
To put it in perspective:
£35 mil for Carroll
That money bought the following for Man Ure:
Nani £13.5 mil
Vidic £7 mil
Hernandez £6 mil
Evra £5.5 mil
Rafael £2.5 mil
Carr got us Tiote and Ben Arfa on the cheap. Imagine what he can find us with £35mil to spend in the summer. Assuming of course Ashley gives Pardew the money to spend.
If nothing happens this summer, then its time to lynch Ashley.
We are undefeated in the last 4 games without Carroll too don’t forget.
actually Bendter on loan for the rest of the season wouldn’t be that bad i guess, but would hope to god it wouldn’t be permanant, he irritates the f*ck out of me!
all the fat man had to say to AC was – your with us until the end of this season as we need your goals to ensure we stay in this division we’ll then consider your future.but instead he flogs him with just a couple of hours of the window left.
it’s not a bit fishy – it’s f@cking lifting.
once a c@nt always a c@nt.
am off te spend some’a me winnings
I’m hearing talk of Bendtner. Although I like him and think he has massive potential, for me it’s a non-starter. Arsene won’t sell and Bendtner won’t fancy coming here.
The madness continues…
Luiz to Chelsea for 25M!!!
‘arry reportedly offering 30M for Guieseppi Rossi.
I hope we don’t panic buy now. Not excited about Bendtner unless it’s a loan.
But roy would we of gotten 35 mil for him in the summer?
Carrol was not and is not worth 35 mil , Dont get me wrong its a big loss esp with a few hours to get a replacement in , but if he dont want to play for us leave him off.
are we there yet
I am praying damn hard we get roman pavlyuchenko in be it loan or permt.
AOD
Would love for him to arrive. Krancjar too. Would really soften the blow.
ToonTyne – I’m glad you can take time out of your daily routine and use this really bad bit of news to have a pop at me.
Nice one. I’m glad that’s all you are worried about….
Sheesh
off with his heed
anyone think we will get in anyone tonight?
nope
I second what Batty say’s
to late in the day
johno – we may have got more than £35 mil for him in the summer – if his 2nd half of the season was as good as his 1st i think we would.
reet as off t try & teach me fav barmaid al aboot the offside rule – i’ll probably need a hammer & chisel like.
Maybe out of all this shite one of our strikers will see this as a chance to be top dog and step up to the mark
I agree , n even if we did bid for anyone wouldnt the club in question just hike up their price?
Fuck you andy , fuck you
only way to soften the blow,
Nicklas Bendtner on loan till the end of the season
Connor Wickham on a perm
Would have been canny if this wasn’t being sorted with 3 hours to go like.
I don’t reckon we’ll get a striker in tonight, no, but apparently the Ireland deal is done.
Yeah!!!!!
If he did’nt want to go no one could force him.On top of that his timing is crap!I know he is not the sharpest tool in the box but he must know the hate that now exsists for him Geordies have long memories.There will be no way back!
Enjoy the money hope its worth it!!
He could have been a legend and one of SJP’s true greats instead he is now one of the most hated players ever to walk out of the Toon.
Great piece of business to be honest. A fricking ridiculous fee! The transfer request has completely knocked me sideways though.
I am going to try and put things in perspective without leaning on some of the hearsay or negativity:
- the club has a small fortune to spend on improving the squad
- does selling one star player make the club a selling club?
- Manchester United sold Ronaldo and Beckham. Are they a ‘selling club’?
- until we are a top 6/7 club again we are going to face the big clubs backed by an enthusiastic Sky Sports (protecting their investment) unsettling our clubs
- the sale of Bent, Torres and now Carroll highlight the scummy role of agents in our game
- this also highlights the moral bankruptcy of footballers that none of us should be surprised at as it ain’t anything new
- lastly (ish) where does this money come from? Liverpool are in terrible debt and do not look like improving revenues in the next year (ie
peercat defo most hated
Tell you what like, Pardew’s next press conference is going to be a cracker!
Sorry my clumsy thumb must have caught the post button…
lastly (ish) where does this money come from? Liverpool are in terrible debt and do not look like improving revenues in the next year (ie Champions League)
- where did Villa find 18 -24 million?
- Chelsea despite losing 74 million last year after winning the league and playing in the Champions League have forked out 50m for one player and 22 million for another
- UEFA need to step in now as these clubs are destroying the game in my opinion. I have stopped believing the hype. International football has went to the wall and the greed in the game is killing the passion.
To summarise, I am more disgusted with the state of football than I am with the sale of my favourite player.
New thread up
batty
Yeh and only 3 months after he said :
All I have ever wanted to do is play for Newcastle,”“That’s been the case since I was a teenager, playing for the juniors and deserves, and it’s still the same now.
“Every time I pull on the black and white shirt – and even more so now that I have number nine on my back – it means the world to me so to be able to do that for at least the next five years is brilliant.”
F**K ME reading that makes me want to punch the computer. That was a f**king quick 5 years Judas
Come on for fcks sake! Can anyone actually say their suprised?
I still say good deal if we can spend it on squad strengthening.
