BB Round-up – Man United hit with transfer request, Spurs rue lost deals, Newcastle fans set to be furious over Carroll transfer
It promised to be a frantic January window and it certainly didn’t disappoint as two British transfer records were smashed within hours of each other. First Andy Carroll completed his switch to Liverpool in a £35m move claiming that he was being forced out at Newcastle, which is likely to wrangle with the Toon Army, before Fernando Torres secured his expected £50m move to Stamford Bridge.
In the papers this morning there is more fallout from the transfer window as Tottenham reveals their near misses; Giggs blasts Wayne Rooney, while Gareth Southgate is appointed to key FA role.
