The Soccer Thread

I'm watching LFC tv and they're reporting that the club have still rejected all Chelsea approaches for Torres. Interesting.

Sky sports news is reporting that Torres is waiting permission to start his medical at Chelski

Also... can't say i'm upset at getting a british record for Carroll

I think it's a nice move for both teams honestly. Liverpool get a good young goalscorer and we get more money then he is probably worth to spend on various areas of the team in the summer.

I have no idea what to believe.

Now SSN is saying he left in a helicopter.

Fair play to Newcastle for absolutely pillaging Liverpool if it happens. I think Carroll's a good player and as long as he sorts out his retarded behavioural problems he'll be a very good striker in the future but Newcastle are in no position to be demanding £35m + add-ons with a straight face.

That's what his value was to us. 22-years old, our only striker, through the academy. Definitely not as good as 35mil overall, but for us he was. The money is great, the timing is terrible.

Then Liverpool should have said fuck off and went elsewhere.

He's gone, time to get plastered

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Oh I've accepted he's gone, still hurts like hell, allowed myself to get too attached

Just got back home and saw allll of this.....WOW!

Good for Pool, raped Chelski but got raped for Andy. They need to get good again, so kudos to them. But ill fear more when they improve their back four.

Good for Newcastle just raping Liverpool. Andy is good, and is a talent...But they did what they had to do. Just gotta hope that the same doesnt happen with Nile in 3 years time.

And good for Chelski. Well.....nevermind fuck Chelski, and they still aint winning shit this season.

There ya go WR...El Hadji Diouf going to Rangers....

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Deal for Ashley Young possibly.

[wr50l]

Aye, it's only 175% of his value after all. Nothing the taxman would bat an eyelid to.

[mgoblue2290]

Its only now hitting me that Andy Carroll is our striker. Just seems odd.

[CaribbeanJoseph]

It'll really sink in overnight, I've cried, probably will again, I loved him

[calgaryballer]

So, Nando for Suarez/Carrol. Not bad, still think they are lacking in the centre of the park.

Props to Blackpool for keeping Adam and bringing in Beattie.
