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


Recommended Posts

Who would sell if they came back in with £35 million?

although the money is a key factor, the timing is vital at this stage more so than anything else

 

we'd be fucked going into the season without Carroll (unless we know he ain't making it back from this injury quickly anyway)

 

no sale

Wondering if this means AC is willing to go? Usually does when it reaches this stage. Can't see why he would, or why we would sell to them. We can compete with them next season - if we hold onto our players that is!!

As of yesterday afternoon there was no contact between Newcastle and Liverpool regarding Carroll.

 

:nope:

 

Obviously this can't be the truth when they've had a bid today...

 

 

When did i type it though?

We'll be without Carroll for most of the season anyway, so its not as if we'd 'miss' him if we sold him now. £35m is stupid money.

What stage?

I wouldn't sell today full stop, even for £40m+, if someone comes in with an offer like that in the summer it is a totally different scenario though.

 

This. We wouldn't have time to bring in a replacement, and we're hardly oozing top quality strikers at the moment. It'd be stupid to sell.

If Newcastle turn down 30m for Andy Carroll they're absolutely mental. That's an outrageous offer for someone who has only had a good six months in the Premiership.

 

And look at it on the otherside, we have a striker now thats worth more then 30 mil and other teams sniffing round.

 

i think retaining the asset is far better.

 

Assets can depreciate as well as appreciate - he would need to come back fit and continue to score goals or his price will plummet. There's no guarantee he'll do that - teams will inevitably start to come to terms with him (like they tend to do with all players) so he'll find it increasingly difficult. This time last year Bobby Zamora was the next big thing....

 

You could buy half a dozen good players with £30m. Like I said, if they've turned that down they are absolutely mental. Incompetent.

or random bid on deadline day without working up the transfer before hand

Bitter nonsense.
