Are you taking the piss? We've got 15 games left to play, man. 15 games with 4 strikers who just aren't up to it at this level. We're unbeaten without him. Take away his goals this season. A bigger picture might just form. Without his goals we'd be 16th with a game in hand on several clubs above us. Exactly my point. We're taking a needless gamble.

We've just made relegation a slight possibility. We're taking a needless gamble.

I don't get what more could be done though? Carroll Tell him to f*** off and wait till the summer. What would that have achieved? Postponing the inevitable, as well as the transfer fee potentially decreasing? Meanwhile we've got a high-profile player unhappy at the club. And a PL standard striker in the squad.

Even if Carroll was completely desperate to leave, I find it hilarious that folk are prepared to absolve Ashley of any blame whatsoever.

The thought of this waste of space starting regularly, man.

Probably a deal with Sky. Spin our propaganda and we'll give you something at 10:50.

If you can explain how they got him to hand in a transfer request, I'll agree with you. Any number of incentives or threats. It goes against every instinct I have that he suddenly decided he wanted to leave on the last day of Janurary after a massive offer was made. No one can force a player to hand in a written transfer request though and he could easily have said No. I never said 'force'. There's blame on both sides.

Love you too, bud.

He was far more deserving of a first Xl spot than Shearer in 05-06. Looked very good under Roeder.

You're only naive if you believe those who've lied to us on a number of occasions, including last month through Pardew.

We should f***ing get all of it.

He's far worse than in 2006, like. He was actually a fairly good player back then.

Exactly what I thought. Especially with it being Charles f***ing N'Zogbia - a player at the forefront the last time a complete and utter farce like this occured.

A big thanks to the impressive number of grown men in their 20s and 30s who decided to do their daily regimen of dancing and face-pulling behind David Craig today. Made an otherwise terrible few hours slightly humourous. You should all be pretty fucking ashamed.

Idiot.

Lee Ryder is more likely to use it as toilet paper than print any of the content, the spineless, physically revolting little prick.

Lee Ryder.

Same. Hope , John Mensah breaks his legs when they play Ghana in March. Prefer that Saylor does it.

I won't support England while he's playing for them. Just don't want to.

Yep. According to Bobby, they didn't tell Shearer till after it had been turned down.
