Benwell Lad Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Here's a screen print of note 23, it's probably not good enough as it's not a link from a newspapers website but here goes, paragraph 3. http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/2069/note23.jpg You make a fine and valid point. Ozzie was factually incorrect. Still, the sentiment is reasonable. Considering the likes of Learner and the Boro fella charge interest on their mahosive loans which is something he has yet to have done, that sum is a pitance in comparison to be fair. He will take decent money out at some point, which he has every right to do, but has shown admirable restraint in that regard so far. Actually scratch that (sorry Ozzie). Cheers Greg, so it was just reducing the loan? Can't see any issue with that really. Oh, and another thing, am I right in thinking that he hasn't even drawn out any salary from the club either? You may be confusing the fat cockney fella with previous owners/chairmen/directors who were good old Geordie lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 £23 million can never be considered paltry. Daft word to use. It is paltry. It's a f***ing laughable amount. It's just not though, "in the current climate". Bent went for 18M rising to 24M, and Suarez for 23M. You can discount anything Chelsea and Man City pay as it's come from a limitless piggy bank. If he'd said that it was a paltry amount compared to your valuation then fair enough, but if Suarez goes for 23M then it's a reasonable amount to offer for Carroll.

Tbf, it is. Who would you rather have in your side, Bent or Carroll? He's young, and for the type of player he is has developed early. Targetmen often aren't as developed as him at his age in terms of strength but he doesnt just have that. The man has dominated some of the supposed best centrebacks in the world, Vidic for example. He's not just a traget man either though, he has good pace, good feet, great shooting, clooness when finishin and good technque. I don't think I've seen a player like him before. He's obviously not the best player in the world but I can't recall a striker like him. Duncan Fergrson was similar and without his injuries was brillaint.

The Merse Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If, and I suppose it is an IF, he develops further he could well become the most iconic english centre forward of his generation I, for one, would not want the likes of crappingham hotspur having him at all never mind for less than 30 mill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 His price tag is only going to head in one direction. Ashley knows this and has done the right thing. Under no illusions that he'll move on but I want absolute top dollar for him and £23m doesn't even come close to his potential cost if City, Man U and Chelsea start a bidding war for him. He's young, talented, English and offers something different to any other forward out there. He's priceless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I dont see him as the type to be driven by money. I reckon he loves doing the business in front of his hometown fans and can see him seeing out his career here. Obviously if the shit hit the fan again ( the big R) he'd be off and rightly so.

BONTEMPI Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If he goes our squad won't see fuck all of the money we get for him. Just hope his loyalty is for his hometown club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If he's good enough to play for one of the regular CL clubs, he'll end up playing for one of those clubs. I imagine we might be able to hang on to him for a couple of seasons, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm not too worried about losing Carroll even in the summer. I was at the beginning of the month, but as long as we've established ourselves as a European club in two seasons or so I would think we can keep him. Maybe not for his whole career, but for most of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Aye I could just about accept him going (would still be gutted like) if he went to Man U, or even City if the offered something that ridiculous we couldn't say no. Spurs however... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlie Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 My guess is Ashley will sell when he gets about £50m, and with Andy continuing to improve that will happen if not next year, the year after. Just my guess =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Loven11 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Would anybody accept us selling Carroll for £30m+? Simple answer, no. I really want us to keep him and as long as he is happy to stay with us then I wouldn't accept any offer even if it is over 30m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Would anybody accept us selling Carroll for £30m+? Not now. 2-3 weeks ago with the promise of that money being reinvested for a more proven striker and 1-2 squad players, yes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
