Lost a player, gained a relegation battle. Well done to all involved.
I hope all those who said it didn't matter that we'd sold Carroll now as opposed to the summer feel pretty fucking stupid. We can look forward to plenty more games in which we don't trouble the keeper one single bit.
That would be because "The side that won the Championship" is a generalisation which doesn't take into account injuries or suspensions. While tonight is an actual game, which does.
And because nothing has been invested in a side which needed it.
Carroll was well on the way to being the very best i've ever seen wear the no.9 shirt. That's easily the best 6 months i've seen from a toon striker since Ferdinand during 95-96.
The two best wingers i've ever seen at Newcastle were completely ignored by their country during their stint here. Both were French, btw.
You've just been owned. And you deserve it, coming out with such nonsense.
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.

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.
