Mumuni Abubakar na dwutygodniowych testach w Liverpoolu.

Ghana youth midfielder Mumuni Abubakar will leave Accra on Sunday night to begin a two-week trial with English giants Liverpool, GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal.

The New Edubiase United skipper was spotted by scouts of the Reds in November last year while on tour with Ghana’s Under-20 in Italy.

The 18-year-old’s name was penciled down after impressing in the friendly against Serie A side Parma.

Abubakar could earn a deal if he impresses the Liverpool technical team before the January transfer window shuts at the end of the month.

“Liverpool will assess him for ten days and then take a decision but I’m confident is not coming back to Ghana,” Fifa agent Oliver Arthur told GHANAsoccernet.com.

“I understand he had a good game yesterday (Saturday) against Medema in the Ghana Premier League and so his fitness level cannot be questioned.

“He is a promising player and I wish him all the best.”

Abubakar was voted the Sport Writers Association of Ghana Premier League Player of the Year for 2011.

Newcastle United are ready to end Andy Carroll’s torrid time with Liverpool to take him back to Tyneside, The Times can reveal.

The England forward became the most expensive British player and the eighth most expensive in football history when he left the North East and moved to Anfield for £35 million almost a year ago. He has seemingly suffered a crisis of confidence since, though, scoring only four Barclays Premier League goals for his new club.

The Times has learnt that Newcastle are willing to pay about £15 million for Carroll, who almost quadrupled his wage to £80,000 a week when he signed his 5½-year contract at Anfield, but the Tyneside club believe that Liverpool’s valuation could be closer to £25 million.

While Liverpool have denied that formal talks about a transfer have taken place and have claimed that they are not seeking to sell their record signing, they could be open to a deal if they are able to recoup a significant amount of their outlay.

Carroll, 23, is expected to start against Manchester City in the Carling Cup semi-final, first leg tonight, although he has been unable to shake off questions about his fitness and form during the campaign.

He has started only 11 of his 18 league games this season, scoring twice, and struck his first goal in 11 games against Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup third round on Friday.

However, his sale would leave Liverpool possibly needing to buy a striker because Luis Suárez is two games into an eight-match suspension handed out by the FA after the Uruguay forward was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra, the Manchester United defender. Only Suárez and Craig Bellamy, also a forward, have scored more than two goals in a tally of 24 league strikes for Liverpool this season.

Kenny Dalglish has persistently supported Carroll and denied that the striker has been unable to live up to his price tag or that his lifestyle and his trips to visit family and friends in Tyneside has contributed to his playing record this term. The Liverpool manager has maintained that Carroll’s slow start is because of thigh and knee injuries, which disrupted his first season at the club.

However a player of his physique and heading ability requires assistance from the wings and Liverpool’s style has appeared at odds with his game. He scored 11 goals in 19 appearances for Newcastle last season and had been playing Premier League football for only five months when he was signed to replace Fernando Torres, the Spain forward, whose £50 million move to Chelsea has also not worked out.

After making his England debut last season, Carroll seemed destined for a place in the European Championship finals this summer, but he has lost his place in the pecking order and Fabio Capello has cast aspersions on the player’s level of alcohol intake.

While Carroll has struggled on Merseyside, Demba Ba has excelled for Newcastle and attracted interest from other clubs because of a £7 million buy-out clause, which, it is said, can be exercised only from this summer. The Senegal forward has scored 15 goals this season after signing on a free transfer in the summer, when he exploited a relegation clause in his contract at West Ham United, for whom he had scored seven times since his move from Hoffenheim a year ago.

Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham Hotspur manager, said yesterday that he was among those kicking themselves for not signing him at the end of last season. Newcastle also face interest from Manchester United in Cheik Tioté, the midfield player who cost about £3.5 million, although a deal would be unlikely until the summer.

Niech go zabierają z powrotem na St James' Park.

[Gall]

Jako kibic Newcastle zaznajomiony z opinia wiekszosci kibicow naszego klubu, nie chcialbym go z powrotem w klubie Poza tym u nas byla przynajmniej do tej pory inna polityka klubowa, kupowania mlodych perspektywicznych zawodnikow za nieduze pieniadze, chociaz Andy mlody moze jeszcze jest to czy jest perspektywiczny to juz jest jeden wielki znak zapytania

[Daaaamian]

Jako, że pisze o tym The Times można śmiało powiedzieć, że coś jest na rzeczy. Z niecierpliwością czekam na kolejne informacje w tej sprawie.

Z przyjściem do Liverpoolu łączony jest 18-letni pomocnik Sportingu - João Teixeira. Doktorku, wpisałeś go na swoją listę talentów?

[red85]

Sorry chłopaki, ale to jest zbyt fajnie, żeby się tym nie podzielić

[Daaaamian]

Jedynie fragment z koszulkami jest niezły. Reszta strasznie słaba.

Co do Carolla w NUFChttp://nufc.pl/index.php?news=pokaz&no=7839

[Daaaamian]

Rzecznik prasowy Liverpoolu zabrał głos w tej sprawie? Pierwsze słyszę.

Olivier Kay, redaktor The Times, ostudza zapał po pojawieniu się artykułu Gary'ego Jacoba, twierdząc, że w styczniu Carroll nie wróci do Newcastle.

Na forum lfc.pl pojawił się fragment webchatu z Kay'em.

Comment From Rich: So Andy Carroll's agent has denied your story. Any comeback?
Wednesday January 11, 2012 11:47

The Times: Hi Rich, thanks for your comment. Gary Jacob, who wrote the story, has impeccable sources, and it was put on our back page, which it not a decision taken lightly. We shall see. If it does not happen, it does not mean that enquiries were not made.

Comment From Lee Mason: Where will Andy Carroll be playing at the end of the window?
Wednesday January 11, 2012 13:02

Oliver Kay: Liverpool. Gary Jacob's story on the back of this morning's paper is very interesting, but he wasn't saying anything was imminent. The Carroll situation, much like Torres at Chelsea, is a cause for concern at Anfield after such a difficult first year, but I don't see anything changing in January.

Fajnie by było, gdyby to jednak Jacob miał rację.

[Sergek]

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Kelly, Downing, Henderson, Gerrard, Spearing, Bellamy, Carroll.

Subs: Doni, Enrique, Coates, Kuyt, Carragher, Adam, Shelvey.

#MCFC line-up: Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, de Jong, A. Johnson, Milner, Balotelli, Aguero

Byle nie przegrać jak ostatnio.

[Daaaamian]

Dziwi brak Enrique w pierwszym składzie. Nie słyszałem, by miał jakiś uraz. Mam nadzieję, że Johnson poradzi sobie na lewej stronie.

Carroll w ataku to sensowne wyjście. Gerrard i Bellamy potrafią dograć kapitalne piłki, a City nie gra dzisiaj w najsilniejszym zestawieniu w środku obrony. Jak Andy nie wykorzysta w pełni dzisiejszej szansy, to sam go zawiozę z powrotem do Newcastle.

[Sergek]

Może jest zmęczony czy coś. Kto wie.

Ty zawieziesz, ja go wezmę na barana ewentualnie jak ugnę się pod ciężarem (co jest pewne ), to będę go ciągnąć po ziemi do potencjalnego nabywcy.

[Daaaamian]

Zetniemy mu włosy, pomalujemy na czarno i wmówimy Redknappowi, że to Demba Ba, o którym tak często się ostatnio wypowiada.

Biały zna się na kolorach, to nam pomoże.

[Sergek]

U mnie w Wigrach chyba przyda się napastnik, główne działo drużyny ma już coś koło 39 lat

Myślę, że tu moglibyśmy spróbować.

[Daaaamian]

Mają jakieś pieniądze?

[Sergek]

Poczucie humoru widzę Cię się trzyma... Ja im pomogę z tym.
