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


Recommended Posts

Would anybody accept us selling Carroll for £30m+?

 

Nope. Too late to get anyone in and with our wage structure we can't attract anybody prolific anyway. As somebody else said, the longer we hang onto him the higher the price goes so to sell now is dumb on every level.

Sorry but is this confirmed?

that the bids rejected? ssn and pa sports both said it and if pa say it happened then it happened.

 

Fair enough. Didn't know it was on SSN tbh.

So how much higher then £30m+ will we ever get for Carroll? only future can tell i suppose

 

If he continues to progress at anything like the rate he has in the last twelve months then who knows?

Wasn't Milner's total value £32m? (£24m + Ireland who was rated at £8m).

 

In that context, if Carroll carries on progressing at the same rate then £50m in two years might not be that unrealistic.

At this point, Ashley would be mad to sell for anything under £40m.

 

Bang on. :nods:

 

A player like him comes onto the market once every 10 years or so. At the slightest hint he could move on then the really big boys will scramble to get him.

It all depends on what you use as your benchmark. If you use the silly Milner figure (would he fetch the same price now?), then yes I can see your point of Carroll going beyond $40M. But if you take Bent at 24M or the likes of Suarez and Dzeko as your benchmark, then Carroll would be closer to the $30m mark ($27m-$32m)

I just can't see why he'd go to them, I'm seriously not worried. This will be their last season in the champions league, maybe for at least the next 10 years at least. I think he'll go but he'll be on a decent contract, playing for his team in his home city, there's no need to go now and he won't.

To be honest, value is relative to the circumstances of the selling-club, not the transfer fees that have been paid for similar players.

 

Exactly. The whole "Well Milner went for £25 million means..." argument doesn't really work like that unfortunately.

Can't help but think this is missing the point somewhat. If we can keep him for 10 years and he's banging goals in during that time £30m would be a meaningless sum, tbh.
