"Liverpool have offered Newcastle more for Carroll than Barcelona paid Valencia for David Villa this summer. World gone mad!"

Beat me to it.

12.05 From bbcsport_david on Twitter: "West Ham want Shane Long but Reading director of football Nick Hammond tells me 'no deals of any consequence today, just a few kids coming in'."

Always knew there was something dodgy about Hammond

ALOLLOLALOLROFLm Bells...has Kenny lost the plot!!!

If they get desperate we could always let them have an international striker for say £10m....Church not Long obviously!!!

Bent moving for up to £24m has set a bit of a precedent. Wouldn't personally think Carroll was worth more than £15m though.

Not really as Bent has shown that he will score goals in the PL consistantly over the last few seasons. Carroll has had a decent few months, and scored a few in the Championship last year - completely incomparable deals I'd say.

[soggy biscuit]

Every transfer window football seems to get a little but more demented.

[knobby_1871]

Nooo as he always scores against us - 1233: The Northern Echo newspaper is reporting that Middlesbrough striker Leroy Lita could be on his way to Championship leaders QPR. The paper suggests Rangers value the 26-year-old - scorer of six goals this season - at £2m but Boro are holding out for £3m.

'greed.

Been having a bit of a running argument with the Spurs fan I sit opposite at work. He doesn't r8 Bent at all and couldn't believe that Suarez went for less money than him. My argument was that whilst Suarez is almost certainly technically a better player, Bent has consistently proven that he'll score goals in the PL. His record at Spurs wasn't even that bad I don't think.

I know a Spurs fan that says the same. Typical 'he was no good at my club therefore he is rubbish' small minded attitude.

Daily Mirror reporting that Torres has just left Melwood training ground by heLOLicopter.

Rumour now is that the bid wasn't serious 'a smoke screen'. Wishful thinking? Good job NUFC didn't say 'yes'.

Torres in a helicopter. Lots of nasty jokes coming up there.

[Scylla]

Hmm. First is first, second in nowhere

[Zammo]

Torres fails medical will be the headline in around 5 hours time.

[TBM]

Has Suarez actually signed yet though? - would LOL if he suddenly rejects them if/when Torres leaves

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Deadline day is the worst day of the year, media driven nonce sense

^ This. And if anything the January one is actually worse than the August one.

If you don't take it too seriously then I think it is a lot of fun

[Scylla]

Telegraph's man in Liverpool says no helicopter. I believe that Suarez's family are on Merseyside, he'll have to get them out before changing his mind. Perhaps they could seek sanctuary at Goodison Park

[Toon Toon Blue army]

LOL at all of this. Carroll for 30 million, Torres for 50. QPR bidding 2million for Lita. This is more unrealistic than Championship manager.
