SUPERTOON

Carroll wanted to leave though, surely that has to be the main point in all of this? Surely the main point is that we lost our best striker If a player doesn't want to be here then he goes, it is the same at every club. No one player is bigger than the club.

Not according to the official site.

Time you got over it. Pathetic. You have been since he went, nearly every post you have been crying over him going. Here get f***ed man. Football's all about emotion. I'm gutted he's gone, and I couldn't give a s*** what you think I should do.

What did he say?

Time you got over it.

What i was told. I can obviously see why people are a bit 'meh' about this, and thats fair enough Time will tell particularly with the Rennes player (midfielder i think). The lad i was talking to is trying to find out the name of the player. I forgot to add that the bids we made at the end of the window were all rejected as we were getting quoted astronomical figures. These strikers to replce Carroll were: Crouch Elmander Carlton Cole Again make of it what you will. I'm just passing on what i've heard. Owen Coyle said that they had no bids at all for Elmander.

As long as he keeps performing, i couldn't care less what he says.

Will get some abuse tonight if he has a stinker.

Not if Carroll asked to go.

Thought we would have heard from him by now.

Start the drinking early tonight, going to be a long night. 3-1 Fulham and the start of our slide to a real relegation scrap.

Give it to the charity shops, they send them over to Africa.

To get the deal done in time.

Pardew said in his press conference Carroll wanted new deal now, not prepared to wait til summer.

Also, we have to stay up first.

Tbh we don't know how much he is on, for all we know he could be on big money already, and is still wanting more. We will never know the real story.

Some pretend bids coming in the summer then.

Exactly.

That's what I give Carroll my last trust - he didn't want to leave but just want to do a Rooney to get a pay rise. Which is just as bad.

He the bald idiot?

If they wanted to build a team to win things & keep their best players & had the means to do so then they should react to what other clubs are willing to offer the lad if they want to keep him ofcourse. Otherwise they would lose him, as realistically they likely will at some point. Its very simple, if you dont negotiate you'll lose your best players as the player will nearly always go for the money if its being offered & they are being much more highly valued elsewhere. How much would you be willing to give Carroll?

Carroll for £0million was a steal. Selling Carroll for £35 million was robbery.
