jdckelly Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 *The conspiracy theory. I can understand people being cynical but wouldn't Spurs just deny it? can't see them not denying it and press association seem to think the bid happened, and they normally don't get things wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Carroll English Can score goals on the ground or in the air Young Probably PFA young player already for the season Has a 5 year contract Englands brightest centre forward talent since Rooney 35mil + I agree with all that except the bit in bold. PFA young player's going to be Bale. He may get the main one! He shouldn't win either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's worth nearly as much as Torres then? Gerraway. He's a great player but, at the moment and given that he's still inexperienced compared to his peers, we'd be lucky to get more than £20m for him in my opinion. Personally, I think that Spurs' offer is ludacrious. As long as Nasri and Bale keep playing as they are, Carroll won't (and shouldn't) get close to winning the PFA young player award. He's scored goals, yes, but he's nowhere near as effective as Nasri or Bale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 This year we've seen Bale, Nasri and Wilshere emerge strongly, so Carroll is pretty unlucky this year. Southern/big team bias dictates that he won't get Young Player of the Year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, although he could be if he keeps improving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 See nufc.com are priming themselves for a "We told you so" but will no doubt conveniently disregard their headline if nothing happens - a la Chronicle "you heard it here first" type scoops. Lets face it anything can happen in football nowadays with agents running the show, but bearing in mind that nufc.com started the stories running after Carroll had attended an appointment in Harley St. Harley St = London = Spurs (geddit), then shouldn't we now be bracing ourselves for a deadline day bid from IFK Gothenburg or some other Swedish club ?

Peppe Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The reason he is so valuable to us is not just that he has the potential to be very good, but that he actually wants to stay at Newcastle. Having a player with a scrap of loyalty is very rare these days (Darren Bent). While I agree that Suarez is a very good player there is no gaurantee he will settle in England or adapt to the English style of play meaning he is much more of a gamble than Carrol would be fo an English club - it is this together with ability that determines the value of a player. Well said! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy 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. says who? If you think Carroll is better than Suarez, you're daft. How exactly are you comparing two totally different players on who is better? Especially when one hasn't even played in this country, that's daft IMO. Carroll is probably the best striker of his kind I can think of, Suarez is very good, but there's plenty like him.

Martin Lol Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 *The conspiracy theory. I can understand people being cynical but wouldn't Spurs just deny it? Spurs won't deny it because this is their evidence showing they have been trying to buy a quality striker but failed to make a bid for Suarez and have made a complete gash of trying to get a striker in. BTW it was me that reported that one ITK was saying there had been no serious bid, there are others saying it now, in fact I can find only one who is still categorically saying that we did bid £23m for Carroll.
