Guest neesy111 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The Mackem is talkin some sense, tbh. £30m is an insane amount of money, man. Come back and talk in the summer if any club is prepared to bid over £35m because that is seriously a rebuild-your-team money. We could get a decent RM, CM and a couple of strikers for that kind of money. No one player in that group would obviously be worth more than £8-10m, but I think we'd be able to challenge for the top 6 if that kind of money is spent wisely (yes it's a big if). I'd still rather we didn't sell. Yes £30+ mil is a staggering amount, but what we have in Andy Carroll is absolutely priceless. A local kid with the world at his feet, who doesn't want to play for anyone else. This happens maybe once in a generation, if you're lucky. The local kid stuff is irrelevant. I'd rather we didn't sell if we were assured of funds being made available in the summer, but that's obviously not the case. Over £35m and come back to talk in the summer. We start talking to 3-4 players that would completely change the face of the team (right winger, box-to-box CM, pacy striker, another striker) now and conclude business in the summer. There is still a lot of good players to be had at the £8-10m range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NQsDiscoPants Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Aye, rightyo. who the f*** do you have better than those two like? Aye, rightyo. who the f*** do you have better than those two like? On what basis can you claim that Carroll or Ben Arfa are a class above anyone? One of them has had six good months and the other has scored one good goal. You're living in a dreamworld mate. How many goals do you think Caroll might have scored if he was playing for a team who weren't so reliant on set pieces? When either of them has done it at the top level for a couple of years, then you can start to spout off about them. So anything Ben Arfa did before he signed for Newcastle doesn't count? As I've already said, you are an idiot. Like what? Just curious.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Of course it would be fucking unambitious. We're supposedly trying to join the big clubs not fucking feed them. They want Carroll and are willing to pay shitloads for him. Think about it. What about Man Utd selling Ronaldo? We're not on the same level as those clubs financially. You can take a step backwards but take two steps forward by spending the money well. It's impossible to jump from newly promoted club to challenging for Europe unless you spend money, which we don't seem so willing to do. Sometimes a player can be replaced if a team offers 'too much' money for him. I don't think Carroll is irreplaceable. Yes, in terms of the way he plays then I don't think we could get a replacement, per se, but we don't have the play the way we do. It's quite possible to change the way we play by buying new players who'd fit in better in the new system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The Arsenal team barely has an Englishman, let alone a Londoner, and most of them want to be there. Yeah, they're a top 4 club so of course players want to be playing for them, but if we buy decent players and move up the league, we'll be in the same position. Look at Spurs as an example of spending good money by selling a player who was overpriced (Berbatov). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Its just incredible seeing us rejecting £30m bids on deadline day! But Carroll is not for sale at any price today. If in the early summer we're given £35m-£40m then we'll see but theres no chance of him leaving right now. After everything Ashley has done, I just have to say well done to the regime for holding firm so far. Everyone sit tight, it's gonna be a long day.

Ginola Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Of course it would be f***ing unambitious. We're supposedly trying to join the big clubs not f***ing feed them. They want Carroll and are willing to pay shitloads for him. Think about it. What about Man Utd selling Ronaldo? They didn't replace him adequately and lost out on the title to Chelsea? Him being local is absolutely relevant. He wants to f***ing be here, it's not rocket science. Enrique, Coloccini, Tiote and Ben Arfa all want to be here as well, and none of them are local. If you have a player that supported a team as a lad they'll always put in 100% because it's not just for their personal performances but to see the team that they support do well. If you think you can find a player who can play the way Carroll does and have the impact on a game that he does, that also supports us, for the £8-10mil price you mentioned previously please point him out.
