Newcastle have rejected a new £23million bid from Tottenham for striker Andy Carroll, Sky Sports News understands.

 

The England international has enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League, bagging 11 Premier League goals before being sidelined by a thigh injury.

 

Carroll's displays in leading the line for the Magpies has attracted interest from a number of rival top-flight teams, with Harry Redknapp keen to bring the powerful forward to White Hart Lane.

 

The North East club are determined to retain the services of their star man and have rebuffed all offers for his services, with Spurs' latest offer drawing a terse response.

Not for sale

 

A high-ranking Newcastle official told Sky Sports News: "The club would like to make it clear for the very last time that Carroll is simply not for sale."

 

The source went on to describe the bid from Tottenham as 'paltry in the current climate'.

 

Magpies boss Alan Pardew has always stressed his determination to keep hold of his key players during January as he looks to establish the club back in the top flight.

 

And with the transfer window due to close at 11pm on Monday, it remains to be seen if Spurs will return with an improved offer.

 

Typical media trying to drag it out. Maybe it will take Newcastle issuing the response "Fuck off" for them to get the message.

We should release a statement that two things need to happen for a bid to be accepted, first Andy Carroll handing in a transfer request, secondly a club offering £50m up front, anything less won't be considered.

If he wants to go, then we have no choice, if he does go, let it be for an astronomical fee...in the meantime clubs like Spuds get the message, they can't afford him.

What irks me most about this Spurs/Carroll saga is that we'd never hear the end of it Saggy face moaning if someone continually whacked in bids for Bale in spite of both the manager and club continually reiterating that he's not for sale. Bunch of cunts that Spurs lot, and hypocrites to boot.

Why advertise a price? Why imply he might want to go? Talk about publically shooting yourself in the foot, that would be terrible.

 

What they've done so far is fine. He's not for sale.

 

Having him constantly linked with a move away and several bids come in is just as bad. Its unsettling for everyone.

No one appears to be unsettled yet, so no need to take any action other than rejecting bids that fall below the club's valuation of Carroll.

No idea why anyone would think selling AC for 25m is good business for us when we all know where the cash will go. As for the Aguero comparison, Aguero hasn't done it in the Premier League, and it's a massive "if" that he would make the transition (Shevchenko springs to mind).

 

People keep saying this. We "know" no such thing, What we DO know (those of us who have been paying attention, anyway) is that a) Ashley has taken absolutely no money out of the club so far, and b) he has said that all money from player sales will go back into the squad, and that, from the accounts published so far, this has indeed been the case.

 

I don't really want it to happen, because we all need our heroes, but there's a rational argument for selling Carroll for big bucks and using the proceeds to rebuild the squad, much as Everton did with Rooney. It would be nonsense to try to do this now, though, days before the end of the transfer window.
