Andy Carroll

[red g]

As long as the £17 mill buy out clause is in place, that seems ok to me

Bizzarely I think we could sell him for more at the end of the season....He will thrive under big Sam.

[Assassin]

Overall worth about 5-6 million for us then, if Carroll on £85ish k/week?

Providing they buy him the deal will be worth £ 23 mill in total

[Hemingway]

going to be hard bringing in kevin gameiro when he's in the midst of signing for another club as we speak...

Eh? Haven't seen that.

Carroll out for £1m, Yesil in for £1m.

Adam out for £5m, Dempsey in for £5m.

[Montana]

So we're getting £1m and saving £4m in wages. If we can get Dempsey and another forward on loan then fine. Otherwise a risk to be so light on forwards. Hope Morgan can step up but asking a lot

[Mostar]

Says who?

2m loan + 17m buyout if they stay up has been mentioned million times at least

[DannyMan2006]

I did say wonderful news if true.

£1 m loan fee, no commitment to but ain't great. In fact, it's a shocker.

But what would be worse? Keeping a player we have no intention of playing? Or getting him out on loan and bringing in a player that will fit?

As already mentioned, if he does well his fee jumps up. BUT, it's still Carroll saying yes or no to a move.

[Montana]

Also he won't play against us but could cause problems for our rivals

[Mostar]

Terrible piece of business if the buyout clause is not included.

It would be worse than Aquilani loans to Juve or Milan.

Andy Carroll set to join West Ham on loan

Tony Barrett

Liverpool have agreed to allow Andy Carroll to join West Ham United on a one year loan deal having accepted that a permanent transfer is now highly unlikely.

Carroll travelled to London earlier today to undergo a medical after Liverpool relented on their original stipulation that the out of favour forward would only be allowed to leave if a permanent deal was agreed with either West Ham or Newcastle United.

Neither club came up with such an offer and Liverpool were faced with the choice of either keeping Carroll as third choice or allowing the 23-year-old to spend the rest of the season at West Ham with the London club paying his £80,000 weekly wage.

With just 24 hours to go until the transfer window closes, Brendan Rodgers agreed to allow Carroll to depart on loan with the bitter pill being sweetened slightly by a £1 million loan fee.

The transfer is a remarkable coup for West Ham who had previously offered a £1 million loan fee for Carroll to be followed by a £17 million permanent transfer as long as they retained their Premier League status.

It is a blow to Rodgers, though, as the Liverpool manager had hoped that Carroll’s departure would boost his spending power on transfer deadline day and he is now hoping Charlie Adam will complete a £5 million transfer to Stoke City, with Everton also a possible destination for the midfield player.

But is it correct.

One thing, Rodger's seems to have his fingers on the pulse. Whatever, the deal I am sure is is the best he could get for us, whilst trying to remold the team

[Chazza]

I hope he is a success at West Ham.

Whatever anyone thinks of him as a player he has conducted himself very well through all of this.

Shame we can't get him. He's top class.
