    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      Anyone know the fee breakdown?

      I heard 15 now, 15 later and 5 depending on performance.
      But that's probably crap as it was tweeted...

        I'd be amazed if this works out.
        Maybe Carroll was just trying to save face towards his former set of supporters. I bet he'll have loved the reception and will be looking forward to play with Carra, Johnson and Steve not forgetting Suarez. They will be a very potent partnership IMO. We need some hunger in the side and these two might just lift everybody else.

          Welcome to Carroll, I have a feeling he will be a kop-hero and that we wouldn't have taken this 'gamble' if not Kenny and the staff had a huge amount of confidence in him.

          A big lad next to Suarez could indicate that we will play a bit more like the Owen/Heskey style up front (and hopefully not up untill then), but with a more skillfull big lad. Another option is Suarez going out wide together with Maxi playing with one big powerfull striker having to inside forwards to play the ball with.

          No matter what option, it looks exciting.

          Welcome again, and I hope he proves himself worth the amount of cash.

                I think Carroll and Suarez will be leading the line together, Suarez maybe dropping deep but he can also hang around the box. Then I think we'll see Gerrard, Lucas and Meireles in the middle with Maxi on the left in an advanced role. I feel we have been playing something similar to this, I think Lecter pointed out that Kenny used to play this system.

                      Luckily I had an all day meeting yesterday, it would have been a waster otherwise

                        From today's Digger

                        Roman Abramovich's preparedness to spend £50m on Fernando Torres has come as a surprise and as a blow to Uefa. The Chelsea owner has been viewed by Uefa mandarins as a key proponent of its financial fair play regulations, which will seek to limit clubs' losses to €45m (£38.7m) over a three-year period that began this season.

                        Chelsea's chairman, Bruce Buck, has even gone as far as to speak in favour of extending Uefa's rules to a salary cap, yet how the Premier League champions would intend to square the Torres business with the current regulatory environment is unknown. One Uefa insider described the willingness to bid £50m for a single player as "a worrying sign".

                        Chelsea yesterday released a set of highlights of their 2010 accounts, showing losses had risen from £47.4m in 2009 to £70.9m in the 2009-10 season. This is problematic for Uefa, since Chelsea are not the only club whose finances are in need of repair and there has been a trend across Europe for big-money transfers this January.

                        With Manchester City having spent £27m last month they would seem to be on course to eclipse Chelsea's £141m record losses for a Premier League club. If that comes to pass, it would almost certainly put them in default of Uefa's rules. Michel Platini will be resolute. He warned three weeks ago that such clubs face being banned from Europe. "It will be time for them to face the music if there is a club that doesn't fall in line," said Uefa's president.

                              he should take a flag burning course in Iran or Pakistan, would help him a lot in his future endavours.

                                Love it if they were forced to sell off their players- love it.
