Quinn,Goddard,Withe could all be in with the same bunch as the had a few years here and did a job as Carroll has basically come out of no where ,not saying they are better no way but tbh the thread title can be twisted as you see fit . Don't forget I was born 91, and have barely seen Cole and Beardsley, and knew very little about football when Sir Les played for us. I have seen their qualities on multiple occasions of vt and so on. Shearer and Bellamy I experienced, although as a kid, but remember telling everyone that those two together were probably only not better than bergkamp and Henry together, although I said this not to be too biased .

Some may disagree but Owen when he came was a better player, obviously older, but a better player and he cost us £17million. That he turned out to be a injury prone wanker is another thing. But he scored many and was dangerous in his first games, wasnt he? Then Bellamy, Sir Les, Alan Shearer, Beardsley, Cole are obvious examples that were better than him.

But...but..they will never play in the Champions League?

ANELKA! Lets win tomorrow!

Anybody nows what he said?? Insensitive of him to comment on it, but we have no idea what he said right?

Kieran Richardson is a cunt. So fucking pointless he deserves a red card just for being pointless. Idiot.

My cousins husband played with Kaka and said he was great lad. then again you can't compare Kaka to Andy Carroll Nolan can fuck off btw. He should've advised the kid to stay

And he scores. Should've bought him.

Haha Inter signed him? Great left-back haha. He won't stop running and better than Chivu.

Halmstads manager is a apparently a young spanish guy who was the assistant to Malmö FF who won the league last season and he has apparently played for Reals youth teams and has great contact with them. Not a bad move for the young guys or Halmstad.

Of course they shifted, man get a hold of yourself. The club accepted an offer which any club would've. The thing is Andy leaving and saying he was forced to leave. End of, he wasn't forced, no one is forced. If I was a chairman I would also have sold him for that ridiculous sum. Sorry but 8th most expensive players of all time and he has barely played 6 months in this league, it's a joke and yes I understand that the timing wasn't the best. But after all it does feel we're going to stay up, and if we don't we took a massive gamble which failed. But in all honesty, i feel that sum was to high for a player of his calibre don't forget we got Ben Arfa for 7 times less. Now he's gone and we have to look up and forward! i would just love if we finished above them in the league, and nothing suggests that's impossible. Carroll still out for another 4-5 weeks AP said.

That is what he's said apparently, that to me though is his cheap shot at using the fans behind him in the whole saga. Look at the cunt on the footage, he looks happier then ever, theres no denial this is what he wanted. Of course he'd rather earn £400kpw here, but he's very much happy to gather his £90kpw or whatever in Scouserland. He just proved to us all to never trust a football player.

Agree Why? He's run off to join a rival for a massive pay rise.

f***ing sick to death of people saying things like this. He was earning a very good wage, and would have earned at least that for the next 5 1/2 years, playing for his boyhood club, wearing the 'famous' number 9 shirt that he dreamt about wearing, playing in front of 50,000 adoring fans every home game. For a geordie lad, that surely has to be worth more than a bigger pay packet somewhere else. He wasn't earning a f***ing pittance here for christ sake. Whether it was him, his agent or Ashley and Llambias it was all done out of f***ing greed, not for footballing reasons. Agree with you. There no doubt that it was for money reasons he left. Interesting that is. According to a few on here thats completely ridiculous No not a thumb up. I bet Sir Bobby when he said that didn't consider a playing that had just signed a new contract. Come on, otherwise the whole system would just crash and inflation would be above a realistic level. I mean what if a club had offered £15 million for Andy, and told him he would earn £300k pw? Would we have had to reconsider his newly signed contract? No, its all just wrong. He left for money, he lied to everyone and that's it. Move forward, he's gone and he won't be back. Saying that this or that would've changed is wrong. The club backed him just like they backed Joey Barton during difficult times. He was given bail on the condition he lived with Kevin Nolan who took him home, Nolan hade to see Carrolls car vandalized in his runway where small children are living. Nolan, us we all defended the guy and he now leaves. The best Carroll could do was shut his mouth, no one cares. In the end it was up to him, he had a contract and could've stayed whether people 'forced' him out it was obligatory for him to leave. You guys can keep on worshipping, but he betrayed us no matter what and he should never be allowed to return to this club.

Well if I'm the boss they will

£40 million I'd raise more funds by selling Xisco - £3million Raylor - £1 million Smith - £250k (50kpw is to much) With that I've gained around £4,25million as well as decreased the wage budget with around £100kpw. Now with £44 million and a wage budget of £250kpw I'd sign: Adel Taraabt - £3,25million + Routledge (leaving £41,00million) Gervinho - £16million (leaving 25million) Lucas Barrios - £18million (leaving £7million) Roger Johnson - £7million (or some other decent central defender). Unrealistic, but maybe Jonas, Colo and Enrique can attract Lucas. And Tiote Gervinho

Andy Carroll is a juuuuuuudas He joined the pool that fucking fool And now he'll go to jail and with no bail. JUUUUUUUDAAAAAAAS Prison will end his seasooooooooooon Prison will end his carreer, that fucking bellend At least I tried

Take a pay cut, help us qualify to Europe and you'll be remembered for the next decade at least

You've been fucking spot on today. Honestly, ffs, I'm with you.

Carroll for £0million was a steal. It was especially when we sold him for £36million But he still brought us shame, which the other ones havn't yet

Luckily guys I said 'not the healthy ones'. They're obviously not healthy

Seems like everyone has forgotten the Jose Enriques, Tiotes and Ben Arfas of football. Football players who are cheap compared to their talent. Tiote for £3,5million is a steal. Enrique for £6million when he was a big talent is a steal. Ben Arfa for £5 million is a steal even if you considered all the problems he has caused, he's the most talented player at the club.

Probably, yes. Unsurprisingly so. Sorry, but he wasn't our best player. I consider Tiote much more important, Coloccini and Enrique too. Without Tiote we play Alan Smith, without Enrique we play no one, and without Coloccini we have to clueless brits in the centrehalf.
