ATB Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 For us Carroll is worth so much more than this shit money. He is going to be BIG. We will never replace him in anyway with this amount of money or our status as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If Carroll leaves today, and we don't have a world class replacement, I'm done with this club under Mike Ashley for good. Simple as. Can't take it anymore. Wondered when this would start. Don't agree with it, but can understand why they'd accept £35m. You'll struggle to find many chairmen that wouldn't. Look, I understand that. I know its a lot of money. But Ashley should know that Carroll is irreplaceable. He's not going to get anyone better in, certainly not someone with the potential to be what Carroll could be for us over the next ten years. Ashley has fucked up so many times before, and Carroll does not want to leave. Ashley should get behind Carroll and the fans for once, and just hold on for one day. If Carroll went for the same price in the summer, at the start of the summer, then fair enough. We could rebuild the squad decently. But now, with no replacements that we know of lined up (since no one in January could replace him for sensible money), this is a stupid, stupid decision. Money is NOT everything in football. And if it is, now, then the game's a shadow of what it once was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slarth Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 WTF is going on in this transfer window? As much as £35M is, i'd still keep AC till the summer at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Sorry, for once its not Mike Ashley's fault, it will be his fault if we don't reinvest that money on other players if this deal goes through. But saying its his fault, come on, £35 million. We could buy like Neymar and Ganso for that money, and both are twice the player Carroll is. It's just crazy money. But I'd still not sell him in the last day of a fucking transfer window. Crazy if its done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 it doesnt matter who's owner or the chairman we have.... 35million for Carroll is HUGE. any past board or chairman would have to consider it i dont want carroll to leave at any cost, but its difficult to turn down this size of offer. Risking with our premiership future again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 £35 million is ridiculous, especially when you consider that this time last year there were a fair few on here who wanted him shipped off to Leeds - in exchange for Jermaine Beckford.

alpal78 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What if it is £35 million and we get to keep Carroll until the end of the season on loan? Yup this deal I would take provided of course we spend the every single penny of the 35M to strengthen the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 35 million is just a ridiculous fee. Wouldn't it be the highest ever fee paid by a British club? I really don't want Carroll to go, but at 35 million, I can see it happening. It's depressing, but that is football. I cannot believe how this has progressed. All clubs sell players. It is not a reason to stop supporting the club. Hopefully Carroll will just stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Genuinely can't see Carroll even wanting to go to Liverpool or leave us this early in his career. He still has a lot to learn so if the decision is left in his own hands I'm pretty confident he'd choose to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We spent almost £30M on owen and luque and that did fuck all good for us. Getting £35M means fuck all if you buy shit with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
