Pardew: Liverpool must accept loss on Carroll

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew says Liverpool must be prepared to accept a major loss if they really want to sell Andy Carroll.
　
Liverpool signed Andy Carroll from Newcastle United for £35m in January 2011. But the striker has not been able to fit into Reds pattern of play.
　
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has placed £20m price tag on the 23 year-old striker.
　
Pardew said: '(Reading chairman) John Madejski used to say to me about certain players, just wipe your nose and move on.
　
'And I think (Liverpool) are going to have to do that with Andy.
　
'I think it was obvious that as soon as Brendan went into Liverpool that Andy's time was going to have to be somewhere else.
　
'I think it's quite right we're involved in that. Whether he comes here, is something that I will take or I will leave.
　
'It's a lot of money for Mike [Ashley, Newcastle owner], although we'll obviously be getting a big upside in terms of what we sold him for and we've got three great strikers here already.
　
'But of course as the manager I want the best players I can get.
　
'Whether it's £15m, £16m or £20m, if (Rodgers) uses that money and gets an uplift in the player that he brings in that's OK.
　
'And that's how you've got to look at it.'
