I mean the free newspaper, not the underground railway system.

To be honest as sources of information they're probably as good as one another

[Dantheman]

On Sunday Supplement this morning the story was that a third party believed to represent Liverpool, offered the swap deal to City. In other words, it could just be some chancer looking for a comission.

I hope it's not true, or at least hasn't come from Kenny. If he is prepared to swap a 21 year old for a 28 year old with a nightmare attitude and no resale value that would tell you that Carroll will never get better.

Sunday Supplement alos trotted out the line about Carroll not taking football seriously enough insinuating that he's boozing and not training hard enough.

They are a cunch of bunts on that show though

Carroll is 23.

Rather have Tevez even short term quite honestly.

Why do you believe such bull**** stories?

Written by Daniel Taylor, a staunch manc, and published on the morning we play Man Utd....hmmm, i smell bull**** designed to unsettle Carroll on the day of a big game against Taylor's team...

What do you make of the stuff in the General Transfer Thread mate?

Sky Sports are saying Carroll isn't happy that we offered him in a deal

I dont think we did offer him in any deal and therefore think Sky Sports are spouting bollocks.

[lickedlollipop]

think logically. why they would need carroll anyway?

[Craig_H]

Or to think even more logically, how were we expecting to pay Tevez his £250k p/w salary?

Sunday Supplement offered an opinion on that too, they claim that there isn't much difference between the wages Gerrard gets ~£120k they claim, and the the £198k net that Tevez is on at Man City.

* not sure how they know the wages of players this accurately.

Just that Tevez is on 1.65 times Gerrard's wages (assuming Gerrard gets 120k a week after tax) that's about the same isn't it

It really is a comedy show

[Craig_H]

They're ****ing clowns.

"Not much difference"

[The Birdman]

Tevez is the exact opposite of FSG's transfer philosophy.
Then add in Tevez is a total selfish cunt and would unsettle everything we've worked so hard towards in the past 12 months.
Absolutely 0% of this having any truth.

[Pablo]

Tevez is the exact opposite of FSG's transfer philosophy.

I'm not sure that he is. He's potentially under-valued in the market right now. He could buy you guaranteed goals. He has sell on value.

I think he roughly fits an FSG "moneyball" type purchase although Im 100% sure the rumour is bollocks anyway.

[Kenneth]

Agree. We wouldn't want him, he wouldn't come to us, and we couldn't afford him even if the first two were wrong. Yet shameless hacks still feel ok to put their names against it.

[Craig_H]

No way does £25m for a 28/29 year old equate to value.
