"Andy Reid to Blackpool!? At least sales of pies in Blackpool will not be impacted by Charlie Adam's probable departure!"

[Wycombe Royal]

Chelsea agree a deal "totalling" £50m for Torres is now being reported.........

[moo]

Caroll is a bargain compared to when L'pool bought Robbie Keane.

[papereyes]

Micheal Bradley to Villa on loan

[southbank1871]

The Caroll transfer is a proper if the fee is anywhere close to the £35m being reported

Throwaway comment on Guardian Minute by Minute DEADLINE DAY liveblog

Shane Long. He was my favourite one in Boyzone.

[LUX]

agreed, but Newcastle know Liverpool have the money (probably) from the Torres transfer.

I used to like Torres. Not now

[muddyfeet]

Talk about panic buying.......

[soggy biscuit]

Who are Newcastle now left with up front?

lol

[papereyes]

Shane Long. Please.

Talk about panic buying.......

true, but if they sell Torres, they need to show some business. Suarez and Carroll v Torres. Hmm.

I know they have to do something but 35 MILLION

What's funny/interesting/neither is that its pretty much the complete opposite of the system the new Liverpool owners are trying to implement back in their baseball franchise.

Hernandez - £7 million

LOL

[southbank1871]

Shane Long. Please.

You want us to sell a striker who can't stop scoring at the moment?

[muddyfeet]

surely Newcastle are going to have to buy a striker now

Yep, paying $50M just for the right to talk terms with Dice-K showed incredible frugality

The red Sox spend money on a scale only rivalled by the Yankees

Andy Carroll is supposedly worth more than David Villa, Carlos Tevez and 4 Rafael Van Der Vaarts. Give up on this one Liverpool.

Betting markets report flurry of bets on Charlie Adam to Manchester Utd... Would be interesting, given Fergie said "his corners alone are worth £10m"
