    According to the Guardian.

    Andy Carroll, meanwhile, is just plain old Andy Carroll. But that may be good enough for QPR, who are thinking of joining the bidding for the player, especially if West Ham instead bag Luc Castaignos, whose proposed move from Internazionale to Twente has broken down. Everton are thinking of picking up those pieces too.

    They want £20 for him, I cant see us paying that for him but I think he would flourish here

    ooops, I often forget to put the m on values.

    Somewhere between £10-15m is his true value but thats warped but their huge and hilarious overpayment last season.

    He'll be one of those last-minute panic-buy deadline day deals (again), hopefully not us paying silly money. As you say £10m or a bit more is realistic...

    The only place he will happily go is Newcastle, but he wants to stay at Liverpool and Liverpool want rid at a stupidly high price. So I'd leave him alone and look for someone a little more consistent.

    I agree, £15m is about right but to be fair to Liverpool, they got £20m more than they should have Torres (£30m would have been about right at the time) so paying £20m more than they should have for Carroll evened it out a bit. I guess that's what happens when you try to buy someone 2 hours before the transfer window shuts?

    If we are after another forward i would like to see a fast fox in the box striker, as we have Zamora Helguson and bothroyd that can play the big target man so bringing carroll in makes no sense to me

    Not for me we already need to get rid of 3-4 strikers
    Campbell hulse boothroyd and smith (although smith can do a job as an impact sub)
    Please lets be linked with defenders...... That's our weak spot :(

    All 3 of them are over 30 and JB isnt a target man. He plays like hes 5ft 3.

    what is your point here. i would pick Helguson all day over Carroll the best header in the epl he was destroying teams last season. and How is Bothroyd not a target man. he is bought on to hold the ball and win headers. and i think your find a changed Bothrotd as Hughes wont take no lazy sh!t.

    I don't think this is anything other than the usual journo claptrap we are used to.

    Nothing wrong with being over 30 either in my book.
