Well he can have a kick in the arse.
If this deal goes through at the amounts quoted, then given amortisation this will not look too bad on LFC's balance sheet. My schoolboy maths says it's somewhere between 2-3m loss.
Awwwww poor Andy ... I'm really going to miss you ... not.
2-3m loss?
Try £15m!
Loan fee of about 2m transfer fee of 15.5m add ins of 1-2m (which may or may not be reached).
Luis got all the hugs - turned out the same way. It always will. Sad that it didn't work out though.
Amortisation isn't an emotion 737Max!
His amortized value on the balance sheet would be about 20m at this point in the contract. Of course if he'd stayed until the end of the contract he'd have some residual value, so no ROI but it's far from the disaster it could have been. Not long ago we were talking about being lucky to get 10m!
It's all academic anyway. I wish him well, he doesn't suit the current management and needs to ply his trade elsewhere. Both parties will be relieved that the tag of most expensive footballer and worst transfer deal can begin to fade.
And no doubt we've paid him a signing on fee and are also most likely to pay him a fee to bugger off
It's not true
It's that kind of creative accounting that fucked up Enron. We can spin it as much as we like. End of the day we've taken a massive hit on this transfer
Yea, I'm tickled pink to be honest.
So say
Carroll 16m
Suarez 40m
Skrtel 10m
Reina 5m
Shelvey and other lesser lights 10m
Means we could take in 81m.
Assuming the owners aren't completely tight, they could add a good 30m to that giving us a budget of about 110m.
So.....
Arsepass 7.5m
Alberto 7.5m
Armenian 25m
Mignolet 8m
Ilori 5m
Gives us an outlay of only 53m. Meaning we should see another 57m being on the table.
Papadopolous for 17m, still leaves us with 40m.
So could that mean we'll see Rodger sign competition for Lucas? Another stwiker?

Really? I'd never have guessed.
Merely trying to say that it could've been a lot worse.
I know mate, you're right but I think it already is a right mess (handshake)
Yeah, so we could sign Suarez
Please be my accountant.
sad to read - we all supported him tremendously when he arrived.
That comment isn't real.
^^^ Great tune ^^^
Thats not a bad amount of money to get back for him.
He'll do well there. He'll be in FF team.

ah, ok.
Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has passed his medical at West Ham prior to a £15m move.
The 24-year-old cost Liverpool £35m and has been on loan at West Ham since 2012, scoring seven times in 24 games.
The transfer fee was agreed in May, but the England international was unsure about a move before a World Cup year.
Andy Carroll career stats
The examination was expected to be a thorough one, because of the fee involved and the player's record of injury problems.
The former Newcastle player fell awkwardly in the Hammers' final game of the season, picking up a heel injury that forced him out of England's two post-season friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil.
That followed previous problems with his hamstring and knee, which disrupted much of the first half of his campaign at Upton Park.
Carroll was signed by Kenny Dalglish for Liverpool on transfer deadline day in January 2011, for what remains a record fee for a British player.
He had impressed by scoring 31 times for his boyhood club Newcastle United in 81 appearances, but his time at Anfield was short-lived.
Coupled with the arrival of Brendan Rodgers and a new style of play, Carroll's return of just six goals in 44 league outings for Liverpool saw him loaned to West Ham in late August 2012.
