Hope Spam have now blown their budget-suited to Allerdyces sexy style of play.
Worried about possible spin off affecting FFC-Dempsey/Cole,panic buy.

It only says that a loan 'fee' has been agreed.

This doesn't mean Carroll actually wants to go there.

West Ham v Stoke will be a great game to watch next season.

All outlets are reporting a deal has been agreed, but Carroll has announced he does not want to go there.

£2m loan fee agreed, apparently, but Carroll doesn't want to leave 'pool.

We want Adams and Downing in the deal for Demps according to rumours. All rubbish I hope.

Yeah I very much doubt it will be a swap deal. I still think players like Adam or Downing could flourish at Fulham. Downing was utter class at Villa.

Not that it will happen, but Downing would fit well here.

Adam, I really think is overrated. We are moving towards a more mobile midfield and team in general (the loss of Murph will accelerate this I think) and Adam doesn't do it for me. Also, Liverpool would happily get rid because he doesn't fit their new system...a system that is very similar to ours.

Adam and Downing are good players who earned their move to a big club but found that they weren't quite good enough.

They'd be ideal for Fulham assuming they're still motivated to succeed.

Dempsey could be in the same position in a year's time if he goes there.

I can see that with Downing who was consistently good in the Prem, but Adam? One good season (that massively tailed off) and then a huge jump up.

I've no idea if Adam would be of interest to Jol.

My assumption is that a sale of Dempsey would free up money for targets that we actually want. I see no point in a part exchange.

My original point though is that players who have overreached themselves with a move up that failed frequently find a good home at Craven Cottage.

I'd agree with all of that.

Reported on Sky text that West Ham are denying that a deal has been agreed to take Carroll on loan.
There seems to be a lot of mischief making going on regarding Liverpool's activities in the transfer market.

This sort of transfer is the normal way of doing things over here, but I don't remember many [any?] player for player swaps in British football

Konch = LDV/Kaca +4m.

There were some swaps, but it's very rare indeed.

Ray Houghton to Oxford for Gary Barnett and Geoff Banton and a packet of pork scratchings.

Oh right that was a few years ago now.
