34 goals in his career and a club has bid £40m for him :lol:

 

God, football has gone mad.

 

Rooney went for £30M on similar stats.

Not sure what's more bonkers:

 

- Liverpool offering £40m

- Us rejecting it

- Me being happy we've rejected it

 

They havent confirmed we rejected 40m

 

 

they havent confirmed it was offered-rejected-upped-rejected tbh.

 

They said they'd rejected an 'improved offer' from Liverpool ???

 

 

unconfirmed

 

Eh?

How much is the second bid?? Where are you all getting this information?? I've just come back from college, this is so tense!

 

Most sources were saying we would accept £35m, based on not much AFAICS.  SSN then said they had heard a bid had been accepted of £35m.  David Craig then said he had it from good sources that Liverpool had offered £35m plus addons taking the deal to around £40m.  Then Newcastle released a statement saying the offer had been rejected.

 

didnt someone mention earlier that all SSN were doing were trying to get a response out of Newcastle regarding AC9 and Liverpool which is why they came up with all the nonsense about him driving to Liverpool.

They're paying for what he could become. Given both his potential and the additional element of 'romance', from our end £40m isn't enough. He's invaluable as far as i'm concerned.

none of this is confirmed by either club- it is all sky speculation from 'sources'.

It's not from a source, DC said it came directly from the club.

how is he going to pass a medical when he can't even kick a ball? Unless all of this was pure bullshit by NUFC.

 

How did Dan Gosling pass a medical, then?

Totally agree, it's not just his talent though.  He is the perfect number 9 for us and gives hope to the fans that things are changing.

The key to winning matches to have control of the ball. The most obvious way for us to improve would be to get a new RM, CM and a striker who can make runs in the channel. It would be magnificent if we could achieve all of this and keep Carroll, but a bid of £40m is absolutely insane. If our scouting network can come up with a few more gems a la Tiote and Ben Arfa, we'd be a much better team after all the transfers. I still think selling now is a short-sighted decision.

 

The key to winning matches is to score goals. It isnt easy for clubs in our position to sign class players in a position like striker that will also go unnoticed by other sides in stronger positions.

Strikers are all about stats, if theyre good theyll score goals & get noticed. It isnt the same as players like Enrique or Tiote, nor are many players in the position Ben Arfa was.

 

A player like Bellamy would transform our team. Bellamy was actually more important to us than Shearer during our good years under SBR. I remember we lost our chance at the title when Bellamy's hamstring went against Villa (?).

 

Control the ball, put pressure on your opponents, force some mistakes and you will inevitably score more than you concede. If we sell Carroll, we'll still need two new strikers, but if the money is reinvested in other areas in the team, we wouldn't need to get someone as good as Carroll in for our team to improve.

I'm just glad it's Liverpool chasing Carroll and not Abramovich.

 

While we stymie Liverpool, I hope that doesn't mean they are unwilling to part with Torres - and Chelsea subsequently turn their attention to AC9.

Even if we received a bid of say £50m, and it all went for towards the summer's TRANSFER WARCHEST, i honestly don't think we'd better the team given the loss of Carroll. He could be absolutely sensational - i want to see him grow with us. Plus i don't have faith in Pardew to spend £50m wisely. If it was Hughton, i might think differently.

Because Hughton has years on managerial experience.

 

Managerial experience of getting relegated and shagging his player's wives.

 

You and Chris are going to be so disappointed if he doesn't go aren't you.
