Liverpool legend John Barnes feels they must accept a huge hit on the sale of Andy Carroll. The Reds coughed up £35 million to sign Carroll and are expected to offload him this summer.

Barnes told talkSPORT: "Liverpool will have to take a hit on the transfer fee. I don't know whether he'll end up at West Ham or Newcastle.

"Andy's next move has to be the one where he says, 'this is me' for the next four or five years."
