Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Seriously. Again? Already? No wonder Kezmen wants to be a Journo, he only needs to write one story, and it'll get printed every day of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I would honestly love to rub Harry Redknapp's face into a pool full of lava. Can he take fucking no for an answer for FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wearside Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 £25m is a great fee for someone who has had one very good half a season in the top division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 £25m is a great fee for someone who has had one very good half a season in the top division. Yes it is, but I'd rather take the chance of him developing into an even better player here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steggy Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Wearside don't be a mong. Look at the potential he's got. Of course 25millions good for a player who's had half a decent season, but what if he goes on to give us many many sexalicious seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on like a mong??Fuck off man,£25m is a great fee,someone like Torres is only going for about £35m man,take a reality check. What if he gets found out next season and defenders know how to mark him and his goals drop?It happens and yes he has bags of "potential" but we have all seen players with so called bags of "potential" struggle badly in the past. Look I'm not calling Carroll and think he has a great future if he gets his head right but whatever way you look at it,£25m is a massive fee for someone with relatively little top flight games behind him.

Dokko Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Considering Stoke thought £7m was a bit too pricey at the start of the season shows how much his value has rocketed. I really can't see the stopping right now and we need to hang on to him. £25m is a lot of money if its straight up cash, but we've no time to spend it and Carroll bless his heart is playing for the club he loves and won't be moving to Tottenham, he's better than that already. Anything can and does happen in football, but its worth us sticking with him and keeping him here, even if he gets sussed out (don't really see that happening due to his height and ability in the air) he's still a £10m player all day long who's come through the academy and living the Geordie dream, and that in itself is priceless.

Mowen Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I don't think he's worth £25m based on how good he is, I definitely wouldn't take it though. Why should we? He's the most exciting player to come through our youth system for god knows how long, he's great fun to watch and genuinely cares about the club. We could (and have in the past) easily piss away that amount of money, it just isn't worth it. I'm sure at some point in the future he might not be valued as highly but fuck it, we're fans, why would we want money in the club above players who get you off your seat?

Spuds have one more season in the CL at best, there's a good chance this is it and all they've got on us is Europa football which isn't a massive stretch for ourselves in a couple of seasons. We will offer him what he's worth throughout his career, we'll pay for talent, spuds ceiling is £60k, we'd have no problem offering that for him. London is vastly over rated, if you live in Sunderland then i can understand the attraction but really its shite and full of cunts. What we can't offer him is regular CL football, sunny weather and loads of medals, Tottenham can't offer any of that either. Why would he move?

taxfree Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 f***ing hell I hate Redknapp. The biggest, saggyest and ugliest wheeler dealer in the world of fotball. Carroll is simply not for sale.

Guest Tall Striker Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Chelsea valued Aguerro, a 22 year old with 7 league goals in 10/11 at 39m. Why should we then rate a younger player with more league goals this year at 25m? The Market has moved on. It should be 40m up front or fuck off.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 25 million is a lot of money! That is all! I assume you are speaking on general basis here. From a transfer point of view tbh Carroll is the Balotelli of England. Lots of raw talent who on his day is unplayable, has the potential to be reckless, but still young and still in the unproven category For me, 25 million is not enough for Carroll based on what he represents at the club, what he represents for the fans and what he coul do for us in the next 4 years. But it is a lot of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should we then rate a younger player with more league goals this year at 25m? The Market has moved on. It should be 40m up front or fuck off. That ignores the fact that Aguerro has been a top drawer striker for four years whereas AC9 has been doing the do for less than a quarter of that time - and that's just experience (ie before you even begin talking about their relative talents) EDIT: that's not to say I think we should sell Carroll for £25m or even £40m - just pointing out that comparing transfer fees, especially a domestic one to an international one, is fundamentally flawed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
