The Andy Carroll bid.

Ridiculously overpriced in my opinion:

Liverpool failed with an offer of £30 million for Carroll earlier on Monday but they increased their offer to £35 million - a figure quoted by Newcastle for the striker.

A Liverpool statement read: "Liverpool FC confirmed this afternoon that Newcastle United have accepted a club record offer for the transfer of Andy Carroll. The club have been given permission by Newcastle to discuss personal terms with the player, who will now travel to Liverpool for a medical."

This means he's the seventh most expensive player in the history of football.

He has potential but he's 22... inexperienced to be playing at Liverpool. He should've saw out his contract at Newcastle for a few years. I still believe he will be a great player but I just felt that he's moved on to quick.

He hasn't moved yet but he is on his way to Merseyside for a medical and to discuss personal terms.

Hasn't the deal yet been finalized?

To me the fact that he's 22 makes it a better buy - let's face it the guy is likely to just keep getting better. £35m is a massive amount but if the Torres sale goes through that won't be a problem, and I can't see that transfer not happening at this moment in time. More ridiculous in my view is Arsenal's purchase of Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton for £10m, although he is also an incredible young player

Andy Carroll has arrived in Melwood, he's in talks and doing a medical. To me its a great buy if we get Adams and Suarez, be a perfect set up from the midfield, we just need to find some decent wingers.

It's a good buy. Maybe slightly overpriced but I think he could become amazingly good with the right experience.

With Suarez and him up front, put Gerrard in behind it's a brilliant way to keep our attack stronger.
