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

[J7]

Wouldn't blame him for leaving.

[Dinho lad]

Only injuries prevented Ashton from becoming a very good player, imo. And that's what he could have been.... a very good player. That same goes for Carroll, although I would say he can still go a bit further. But don't think Ashton is half the player Carroll is. Sorry, but Ashton wasn't that bad and Carroll isn't THAT good.

[Vinny Green Balls]

I honestly believe that he would be completely justified in leaving this shit cloud.

[BlueStar]

I honestly believe that he would be completely justified in leaving this shit cloud.

 

And conversely, if he sticks it out, he deserves massive fucking respect.  Even if Ashley's not already phoning round clubs, all Carroll has to do is make noises about not being happy and he could easily set in motion the chain of events that would end up with him at a top club.

[henke]

James milner was a winger who couldn't cross for shit. People forget that he'd stagnated for about 18 months before we sold him. £12mil at that time seemed silly money.

 

Totally diferent scenario to carroll.

[Vinny Green Balls]

Agreed.  Barring raping Marley with a plough, I will respect whatever decision he makes.

[80]

What will the reaction be when this lad is sold?

 

Would he dare refuse to be sold and publicaly come out and say so? Or would he just think "fuckin Ashley" and leave, which i wouldnt blame him for.

 

He'll be called a Judas cunt like Given was.

 

Not sure he would. Whether he would be one would depend on the circumstances, but I reckon plenty would be sympathetic if he didn't do it in the wrong way.

Very Good Source who placed a £500.00 bet on Pardew on Monday morning reckons Carroll is going to Arsenal in January.

[TRC]

Carroll to Arsenal is pretty ridiculous.

[jdckelly]

doubt it, they already have chamakh who fills that role and arsenes not one to whip out the cheque book and he needs cbs more

[ujpest doza]

Carroll to Arsenal is pretty ridiculous.

I think that as well but the source is the brother of an NUFC first team player who was well clued up re Pardew and Hughton prior to the event on monday morning.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Totally, I wouldn't hold it against any player who fucked off... though I'd rather they did it at the end of the season than in Jan.

What do you mean?

 

I have heard from a first team player that the team trained as usual on Monday morning with Hughton in charge and when they all returned home they heard through the media that Hughton had been sacked. No-one from the board contacted the players during that monday.

[Dokko]

People talk shit. Fact.

[Heron]

People talk s***. Fact.

 

The fact this isn't a fact, is a fact. FACT.

Wondered which shithead would be the first to come up with something so predictable. You didn't disappoint. Well done

I have heard otherwise.

[ponsaelius]

I've been told this, I've been told that.

 

You all know fuck all.

[wormy]

I heard he's off to Bolton. They'll ease him into the team ready for when Davies retires (he's retiring next season). My source has never lied before, no reason not to believe him.

You nailed every step.

 

1. Name reasonably believable team.

2. Give believable backstory.

3. Use the term 'mate' or 'source' depending on required ambiguity level.

4. Explain why the source is reliable, but cover grounds when it inevitably turns out to be bollocks.

ITK says he's going to South China FC, him and Butt are apparently mates and Nicky's been really impressed with the women in Hong Kong. Makes sense as Andy is apparently really into small feet.

See you've failed with step 1, 3 and 4.
