The Andy Carroll bid.

[Deak]

Hopefully he will sign for us now and pass the medical!

He will now that Torres fee has been agreed with Chelsea

EDIT:

BBC Sport's Dan Walker on Twitter: "Tottenham came close to nicking Andy Carroll off Liverpool, but the striker wanted to join Liverpool as soon as it became clear that Newcastle would sell him."

So looks like Newcastle wanted to cash in on him...

Think this is a big move for him, he will be welcomed to Liverpool in style.

Thats a lot of money

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think he's worth 35million (at the moment anyway).

He has great potential, but surely its a bit dangerous splashing that amount of money on him?

Honestly, I agree. I think the owners are trying to show off a bit like "hey, look at us, we can pay ridiculous sums on a player who looks pretty good but actually hasn't proved himself" but he will hopefully grow to be an amazing player..

every time I think of this, I think of Michael Owen. Maybe because he was my fav player for years...but he seems like a sort of, younger, newer version...hopefully he'll live up to that.

Robbie Keane....? Not sure I understand that...wasn't he Man U or Tottenham or something anyway?

I honestly think it's one of these transfer deals that looks good on paper but then never works out to be as good as intended. Sure, he'll score a bag of goals but not nearly as many as he should for a price of £35M. That price is ridiculous.

I'm not defending it, I think it's overpriced, but to be fair, he has huge potential, he's still young, still learning, he could easily increase in value in 3-4 years time. We'll just have to wait and see, but it could be an amazing investment.

Do you think Liverpool have the time to wait for him becoming some amazing player?

Not this season, no. But then we're not going to win the title, I think everyone knows that. Dalglish and the owners and squad should be concentrating on getting a champions league spot and getting in good form for next season. He will improve rapidly at the club with Suarez up front with him I'm sure of it.

he may not become an international superstar overnight, but then who does? The teams that do well are teams that buy players early - maybe for more than people would think - but then get them to full potential - making them a brilliant player, and worth a lot more.
