Best comment of the night Dave. Couldn't agree more, good for him for joining a club with GENUINE AMBITION TO SUCCEED whether it works out for him or not. I'd have done exactly the same For other examples of this see Beardsley, Gascoinge, Waddle, Milner, Given and the ultimate 'Judas' Hamann who left to go on win several trophies I think its fairly safe to say though, he didnt join Liverpool because f their ambition.

p.s Carroll sounds like a gay.

Whats all this 'big opportunity', 'Kev is delighted for me', 'big club' bullshit. I dont just mean from Carroll, but the guy interviewing him too? Are we a fucking Championship club again like? We are 2 bastard points behind them.

I dont want him back. Not because of quality, but because of the reaons you say. We werent big enough for him before, why should we be big enough now? Because he plays for Wigan now He knew he was signing for them when he signed for them.

Did Pardew say that he would spend it all? Yeah, as Yorkie says, said he insisted it is invested in the team. He said if there is one message I can give the fans is that it will all go back into the team. Pretty strong message/words to say if he wasnt sure about it.

Wonder whether we will go back in for him in the summer.

Thought he came across really well in the interview. Seemed gutted but was as honest as he could have been. I cant see the team spirit crumbling either, I think we will be fine. And for what its worth, I think we will spend a fair chnk in the summer. Not all £35 mil, but £20-£25.

Whats that supposed to mean

3 year season tickets up? They best start investing at the very start of the window or I think there will be lots of empty seats nest year.

Yeah, but there is good reason too make a deal out of it. Taking away from all the bitching that is going on. If you sell your best player for £36 million and dont invest it in the squad. What incentive is there for people to go back? To support the club, there needs to be some hope. If we are selling off assets and not replacing them with quality, then whats the point? Where will we ever go or do? As it stands, I do acually think we will go out and spend £20million on 3-4 players. Just saying.

People are always going on about how there is too much money in football, players are greedy bastards, shouldnt be earning this sort of money - then a player asks for a pay rise 3MONTHS after signing a 5 year conract we should bend over and take it up the arse to suit him. Fuck that.

eh?! The question was will you renew. People are saying if the Carroll money is invested. So why then go on a rant about who could we have got on deadline day? No one said anything about that. People are talking about the summer. My answer is, I will renew if the money is invested in good quality players. If its not, then I wont.

play blackburn on the 12th

Aye, but it needs to be invested in the squad. Otherwise what is the fucking point?

Andy Carroll isnt the be all and end all man. Spurs finished in the top 4 last season and they didnt have an Andy Carroll. There are other players out there. Its a team game, not built round 1 player man. Whatever has gone on, £35 million is great business. He's what? 8th most expensive player of all time? Fucking hell, he's only had 6 months in this league, the deal cant be argued - its how much of its invested that will determine whether I go back or not.

wont be waiting to much longer then. I think its in the next hour isnt it? Fully expect - 'offer to good to turn down, then once we had an indicition that he wanted to leave we had no choice but to accept. What we need to do is make sure the money is invested correctly on young hungry players that want to be here and that are big enough to wear the shirt - and we will do that. Ive spoke with Mike and Derek and we have identified players that we should be buying to take this club forward where it belongs'. No need for anyone to listen to his interview now.

Pardew's press confrence should be interesting this morning.

2 minutes to go, wonder if we will get a bid accepted and he will agree personal terms in time?

You crazy bastard.

1 hour to go. Would be very suprised if someone comes in.

what am i looking at? Just didn't know why they had taken his picture down but kept his name, quite funny oh, picture is still there for me.

what am i looking at?
