madras Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Maybe the money would be better spent on dictionaries for the Spurs board and twitchy face so they can look up the meaning of the word "no". using the same logic marseilles should have gave a french dictionary to ben arfa ?

Guest n4e Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Interesting reading other forums about this bid. Haven't seen one neutral think he's worth it. I do like Carroll as a player but £23m? Come on, someone somewhere has to be having a laugh. Both Spurs and Newcastle must be f****** mental to first of all offer it and then to turn it down. Agreed with this. I mean, his price is unlikely to rise further. He'll never score 20 goals a season, he's been very lucky this year imo. He's not a superb footballer, just a tall fella, a la Duncan, and he was rubbish. Sometimes wonder what other people are watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 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 very insightful icon response there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I was hoping he'd say that. sorry to disappoint, wasn't gonna say that...but think we can get a more proven striker (non English) for 20-25M, most probably from abroad. He would not be more proven in the Premiership (and Carroll's half of a great season does not prove much either), but more proven as a striker in terms of overall skills and consistency.

Ronaldo Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 You can't seriously advocate us selling Carroll and defend it by suggesting a replacement as vague as someone 'from abroad', mate. Well, you can. But it's a bit daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can. But it's a bit daft. Well I just can't be bothered to play your game of name a striker. But if you think that we can't get a foreign striker for 25M who has done more than Carroll overall as a replacement, then you're the one who is quite daft or you must think that Carroll is some sort of Drogba, actually that would make you daft too, so ya you're just being daft period.

Bye now It's not just about who could replace Carroll for £25m, but who would be willing to come here AND who could replace him as an iconic Newcastle #9 AND be willing to fit into our wage structure, which narrows the field considerably...

toontownman Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 He isn't going anywhere yet. I'd say we have a 50/50 chance of keeping him in the summer though. If we keep him and past the summer and still continue to build and progress there isnt any reason why he wont stick around for a further few years, for the numerous reasons mentioned. Then if the unthinkable has actually happened and he has continued to improve and stay fit and on form I'm sure he will look consider big clubs. (Unless the impossible has happened and we are consistent title contenders) Worst case scenario he leaves in the summer and the whole saga is dragged out until the end of the window. It will be shenanigans again come june. If we do sell him we need to do it with enough time to properly reinvest some if not all of the money into the squad.

Taylor Swift Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Suarez is better than Carroll, ergo Carroll's price should be lower than £23m. The only reason we'll get close to £40m for him is because he's English. Torres will be going for that amount, man! It's an insane price for someone like Carroll.
