In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Well played by Mike Ashley, he gets +£35 million to spend on gambling and Carroll will take the heat.
BBC say Barcodes have accepted Carroll transfer request
This makes it 10x harder to win when we play Chelsea 
The only thing that could make this better is if the cars that Carrol and Torres are in crash into one another.
Scousers on SSN behind reporter
Then Liverpool and Chelsea have to split the combined 80-90 million on driver Nolan? Awesome.
RAWKish comment. Why would an accident make something better? Such comments should be discouraged here.
If Andrew Carroll is worth £35 Million, then Real took us to the cleaners by paying only £80M for Ronaldo.
We should have not budged until £200M.
We need an insanity gauge GIF.

<----- MeI'm absolutely gobsmacked! Don't want to say or do except laugh. Laugh at the fee, laugh at attracting TWO big cost signings within days after all these years, laugh at the future which could be rosy or grey. Just laugh.
I wonder how much Ameobi will go for now? 24mil?

Ah my silver lining. Please say Vidic is fit.
They've paid 6 times what we paid for Hernandez
I cant get on there. It must be crashing like feck....

Laugh at you failing to see the irony in talking about "attracting big cost" players as though that's a good thing.
Laugh at you in general really. As usual.
I'm just laughing Pogue. Just laughing. Its the only thing I can do.
No, because it's a fecking circus.
You've got to give it to Liverpool.
Genius negotiating skills and a job well done blowing errr..investing 80% of the money their going to get for Torres on a proven talent in Carroll.
Not to mention that he hasn't been crocked for the last 4 or 5 matches.

We paid around the same amount for Anderson for which they paid for Torres.
Can't stand listening to the Newcastle reporter reporting how utterly dissappointed Newcastle are of receiving £40 millions for Andy Carroll.
Yep
1737: About 10m people went rushing to check the official Liverpool website after that announcement at 1726... and have crashed it completely by the looks of things. We await confirmation of the fee, but Liverpool say it is a club record.
ESPN is quoting £35m.
I actually rate Carroll quite a lot, and because of his age I think in years to come this won't look like quite as stupidly high as it does at the moment. To be honest I expect he'll do better for them this season than the sulky, injury-prone Torres would have or indeed has so far.
Also, the way I'm looking at it is that Liverpool are selling Torres for about 15m more than his true value (considering his injury problems), and buying Carroll for about 15m more than he should be valued.

£35 million is outrageous! He is a great young player but Jesus this is madness.
It sounds like Liverpool are going to sign Adams as well.

It may be 35 million and may have add ons taking it further. But what's the general consensus if the real figure is say mid 20s (and add ons) after the dust has settled? Would he still be considered too expensive?
Personally I think anything over 20 million is ridiculous but I have been known to get things wrong occasionally.

Someone with an account should post this deal on here.

Its definately not mid-20's , Newcastle have already come out and said your first bid of £30m was rejected straight away.
I think I'd have to say that right now I'd be reluctant to pay over £15m for him. He's obviously a good prospect, but come on.
Liverpool are desperate for anyone, and so they are being fleeced. It'd be funny, if it wasn't so sad how much clubs can continue to charge for upcoming English players.
newcastle agree 35 million deal for carroll, with a 5million relegation clause - a first of its kind.
well. they ought to.
well. they ought to.
Suddenly, Liverpool is back... Fergie must be shitting it
£35m is a hell of a lot to wager on an unproven talent. No, scratch that, it's madness!
I don't think many will disagree that the lad shows promise, but, he's just barely halfway through his first season in the Prem!
I don't think at this point he's worth even £20m.
I hope Liverpool don't do a drug test during the medical
Top goalscorers in the championship last year:
Peter Whittingham 22
Nicky Maynard 20
Gary Hooper 19
Charlie Adam 18
Michael Chopra 18
Andy Carroll 17
Bargain at 35m for the sixth highest goalscorer in last years championship!!

The number of times Ashley and the board have asked that reporter to stress 'reluctantly' it's clear it's not a 'reluctant' sale at all.
I'm hearing it's actually £10m plus £1m for every time David Craig says 'reluctantly'. So a world record deal.
Andy Carroll was available to West Ham for £1m in summer 2009, but they turned him down because Steve Clarke (current Liverpool assistant manager) didn't like the look of him.
£35m.
