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


Recommended Posts

I don't see what the club have done wrong here, once Carroll handed in a transfer request he had to go.  That said, I bet we don't see us spending the rumoured £35 million on new players.

So what's everyone else at the club going to think about this?! We sell our young prodigy, top english goalscorer, someone the team was meant to be built around... why is anyone going to want to sign a contract now, what's the point, we have no ambition. We have no resolve, our group doesn't matter?

 

Its basically saying to everyone at the club, 'we need you all, unless we can find a cheaper replacement and make some money off you. That club you thought Newcastle United was, doesn't exist any more'.

 

 

a player who handed in a transfer request and didn't want to be there anymore

 

I'd say that a bit naive.

Meant to say Carroll transfer request has 'conveniently' taken heat off #nufc hierarchy...

 

Tend to agree...

Anyone bought the 2011 calendar? Don't look at it tomorrow...

 

:lol:

 

I never buy it, we always sell players before their months come up.

 

Two years ago or so they did it quite clever by moving Owen to January. :lol: (he wasn't sold, though).

he was fucking pushed, man. There's no doubt we were leaning on the side of the money over Carroll. No doubt.

Carroll when he signed his new deal: “It does feel good when you hear that the club are not prepared to sell you at any price."

 

So when he finds out they are prepared to sell him, even for stupid money, it changes his feeling.  Simple as that.

Can't blame ashley or the club for this, they rejected everything thrown at them, and then andy throws in a transfer request.

 

I'm really gutted but £35m plus addons will be pretty handy at least, just scared how they'll spend it..

 

this.

 

Not this.

 

They did not reject the transfer

They did.

 

How ?

 

Before the muppet handed in his request.

Very disappointed in Carroll handing in a transfer request. Shows all that "I dreamt of being Newcastle's number 9" was bullshit. I really don't see Liverpool as much of a step up from NUFC at this point in time.

 

I couldn't give a shit how long he takes to recover from his injury now.

Asley'll be laughing his fat arse off at the gulliblity.

What, by rejecting a record fee for him?

Obviously Carroll thinks this is his shot at the big time. Still a huge risk on Liverpool's part, one I wouldn't like NUFC to make.

Then accepting a bigger one, yes.

why the fuck would he go along with a transfer request conspiracy it makes no sense at all and is a desperate attempt to blame ashley when for once he can't be blamed

Its horrible to think that we've just sold a large proportion of our tactics. So much of Barton, Nolan's play has just been downgraded by selling Carroll.
