Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he's sweating on surviving transfer deadline day.

The vastly-experienced Pardew admits that the last-gasp £35m sale of Andy Carroll to Liverpool in the 2011 January window left him feeling traumatised.

Pardew told the Sunday Mirror: "I'm scarred by it from last year.

"I still have a fear. I'm never going to lose that because I just genuinely didn't believe Andy ­Carroll was going to go on that last day until I got the phone call in the ­morning.

"It just goes to show you have got to be ready."
