I think having a good target man will compliment Suarez. And now with Anelka I'd say we have a pretty potent strike force.

anyway, all this money is madness but so what?  if the owners want to spend it and we get top players at our club and show we mean business .... I mean ...ISN'T THAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN WANTING FOR YEARS? ???  Let's just enjoy the fact that we are going after the best we can.  Of course, £35m is insane, crazy, messed up but that's the price.  End of.

What a crazy end to the window. 3:22am and I'm absolutely no chance of getting to sleep any time soon.

Exciting!

Rooney's was a different case... Rooney's kind of talent is very rare...

Do I think Caroll is better than Crouch or Heskey?

Absolutely. BUT Crouch and Heskey cost 7 and 11 million!
Carroll will cost almost twice what we paid for Torres!

It is too much but he is a really good player already and I'm expecting him to become a great player.

6 and a half hours? Kenny will have bought Red Rum, Shergar and Torvil and Deame by then.
