Yup. And Carroll is left out to dry, to feel like shit everytime he heads back up for christmas. There is no way I'd do it for a few more £'s.

A £20m plus strike partner?

WE DIDN'T.

We rejected an offer to get a price. It's called negotiating. When we got our price, we were willing to sell him, but Ashley didn't want to alienate the fans, which he would have done for the umpteenth time. So he told Carroll to stick a transfer request in, and now he can say 'look, I rejected a bid and he handed a transfer request in so I just made sure Liverpool paid good money for him'. It's PR, man. You're daft if you think this stuff doesn't happen regularly. Why would Carroll, as a Newcastle fan and a Geordie himself, ever agree to that though? Exactly. I wouldn't, you wouldn't. He wouldn't.

Exactly. Fuck this day is beyond shit...

Get away with you, Carroll would have no reason to go along with it. Fuck sake you bin dipping cunts.

You fucking WHAT!?!?!

ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!

Brilliant.

Oh FFS!

I doubt we had any desire to 'leave it to the last day'. Other than the fact Pardew said we were leaving it up to the last minute because we can force a better deal right before the deadline. Worked out well so far.. I don't know whats more stupid, telling the world what we are doing and why or actually doing it? He said no such thing. Iirc he has though pointed out that it was difficult to get things done sooner (as we and he would prefer) as clubs hold out for the best deals possible.

God almighty. Indeed.

I doubt we had any desire to 'leave it to the last day'.

If Carroll wants to go and we pocket £35m for players in the summer then logically that's sensible. Absolutely gutting though if it happens. Really would be increadibly disappointing. /Every fucking time things are on the up......

Entertaining?

While Pards sneaks out the back with an Andy sized bulge under his coat. £35m is a fooking ridiculous amount of money, but in this case it shouldn't matter. I know we are newly promoted, and every player at every club has his price, but it could really damage the team togetherness if we sold our talisman. Hold your nerve Ashley son. /Pretty please.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Looks like he's gone.

What the hell is he playing at? Some nefarious scheme to confudle the bankers no doubt.

You make a fine and valid point. Ozzie was factually incorrect. Still, the sentiment is reasonable. Considering the likes of Learner and the Boro fella charge interest on their mahosive loans which is something he has yet to have done, that sum is a pitance in comparison to be fair. He will take decent money out at some point, which he has every right to do, but has shown admirable restraint in that regard so far. Actually scratch that (sorry Ozzie). Cheers Greg, so it was just reducing the loan? Can't see any issue with that really. Oh, and another thing, am I right in thinking that he hasn't even drawn out any salary from the club either?

Aye, renowned for letting our players leave on the cheap the Fat Cunt is.

I, on the other hand, find it hilarious. This. He had every chance of becoming a legend at the club and then fucked us over rather than helping us get past the finishing line of a tough and ultimately disaterous season. Fuck him. Harper, Krul, Ole, and Foster are who deserve respect and support now, not Given. The idea of bringing him back, pushing them back down the pecking order as has be put forward on here, is quite frankly an abhorrent suggestion.

Yup. Indistinguishable.

/I think what Pardew has come out with re Xisco is spot on btw, especially saying that sometimes the club have to look at their own atitude as well. With a lack of any offers the slate needs to be wiped clean again. Really good to see from a manager.

#nufc close to confirming another signing has just checked in at Jesmond /You know who, so don't get too excited.
