Breaking News: Carroll sold, apparently

After resisting a number of offers to sell the striker who was apparently not for sale, it seems that Andy Carroll eventually handed in a transfer request, forcing the club to reluctantly accept Liverpool’s offer.
The move begs many questions, not least as to who we’re going to replace him with. Maybe Newcastle’s recent form without him has persuaded the Toon manadrins that the club can see out the season without a replacement striker.
If, as reported, Carroll handed in a transfer request then it became much harder for the club to hold onto him.
More to follow when details are available.
Apparently it’s all agreed, AC leaves for 35m + add ons.
This transfer makes no sense at all, I mean do we have a replacement lined up? The potential loss if we now get relegated far outweighs what we will get for AC.
Total madness and back to the bad old days of being a selling club :(
