O’Neill was being either mischievous or intriguing when asked whether he would be in the market for Andy Carroll, now that is has become clearer than ever before that he was leaving Liverpool.
O’Neill said: “Andy Carroll is a really good player, a really good player. Would be come to Sunderland?
“I really don’t know where he will end up. I genuinely don’t have a clue. I am surprised by it (the situation).”

Are you calling King Kenny a tosser?Great research - you should get a job at LFC - maybe the tossers who bought him could have seen those stats and it could have helped them realize that the guy is not worth £35M.
Mr Rodgers:
"There has been a lot written about Andy, but you saw today he's happy to be here and he's worked very well since he's been here. "The reality is he's still a Liverpool player, he can fit into how I want to play, and he's happy here. "I'm certainly not wishing to push him out of the door."
Who is it then?
Hope thats bollocks cos if not its a load of bollocksSimon Clancy @SiClancy
Andy Carroll is off to West Ham on a 2million pound loan deal with a view to a 17 million permanent deal
erm, let me get this - they pay 2 m, he helps them stay up, then they realise they can buy a french nobody for half the price to keep them going and they decide not to take the 17m option. Or they get relegated... yeah, sounds great.Simon Clancy @SiClancy
