West Ham agree fee in region of £15m with Liverpool for Andy Carroll

It is wonderful for us to have such an exciting young talent playing for us but so frustrating that on the back of 3 games, the media are already trying to move him on to one of the "big" clubs.

Like I say, it's horrific that a club outside the top four dare to have a decent player.  Plus, if he doesn't come good, it'll be us  that's built him up too much.

If Carroll keeps his sense of proportion and keeps working at his game, there isn't a club in Britain(OR Europe) that won't want to sign him.

 

He is the classic English CF, but is polishing his skills on the ground to the degree that he would be the ideal target man for any club. When he was involved in all the off-field problems last season, I said then that he can either get himself sorted out big-time, or be another wasted talent.

 

I HOPE that he has done the former, certainly the signs are good, but, like Duncan Ferguson before him, he will be a target of wind-up merchants off the field. he resembles Ferguson on many ways but, good as he was, the problems DF had off the field stopped him from really realizing his potential.

 

Provided he keeps out of trouble AND avoids serious injury, he will one day be subject of a huge transfer fee. I just hope that, by then, NUFC have demonstrated enough ambition and progress to keep him at the club until he is at least 28.

 

Vital to our survival this season, esp if we fail to sign another striker.

 

Fingers crossed, but could be as big a home-grown legend as Gazza was.

[Offshore]

Just watched MOTD again, the curved run he made to lose his marker(s) for his goal was excellent.

 

 

[Guest]

Crouch & Zamora both injured and doubtful for the next England qualifiers. Wonder if there's call-up to the full squad on the cards?

[Guest]

Hopefully Ranger does the same.

 

Carroll must be half way through his predicted goal tally already

We'd have taken ten goals from him this season as a good return. Now if he only gets 6 in 35 from now until May I'd be disappointed! Think 15 should be his new aim. 1 in 3 should be realistic enough.

[Cajun]

It's crazy, it's also crazy that despite playing well at Man utd I was half thinking "hmm maybe he won't get many at this level" twat

[BlueStar]

The England talk is good news because we all know that England players don't get sent to prison.

[Fatwax]

I'm pretty sure he'll go about 10 games without scoring at some point in this season, if he doesn't then he'll have turned into a genuinely quality player in like 6 months. Generally young strikers lack consistency in their game.

Fxxking hell but true.

We are Newcastle tho and we always buck the trend

Such a defeatist attitude, show a little faith in our Andy, he will find a way to still get into prison!

[TheGuv]

Hope we keep him for a good few years. I'd be distraught if someone like Man Utd come in next summer or something, if he is still playing to such good potenital

[Wullie]

Be funny as fuck if Carroll gets a call up and plays while Darren Bent is still getting ignored.

[Skeletor]

Be funny as f*** if Carroll gets a call up and plays while Darren Bent is still getting ignored.

 

And then Bent hands in a transfer request as he feels he needs to leave to further his England prospects.

[nobby_solano]

For a scandalously low fee.

then gets loaned to us for the rest of the season!

[midds]

and gets recalled to the England team and starts with Carroll up front.

[huss9]

then goes on strike at end of season demanding permanent move to the toon. sues safc for the mental scars from playing for them for over a year.

[broonalegeordie]

reckon we could do a straight swap, shola for bent?

[Unlucky Luque]

At least he'd stop scoring against them. He'd be their Raylor.

Collymore on Talksport saying that Liverpool should go for Carroll.
