Guest Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Now I know how my dad felt in the 80's when we were selling Gazza, Pedro and Waddle. Absolutely sickening. Gazza's the best comparison.

The Bonk Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Carroll obviously has handed in a transfer request. What's behind that request is what folk are disputing. When they should be more worried about where the money goes. He's fucking gone, time to call on the fat cunt to spend that money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 To be fair, even if true why would he want to do that? He'd be effectively telling his new employers and their fans that he didn't want to go there. Signing a contract with them might tell them that he did want to go there, he doesn't need to request a transfer to prove that he wanted to sign for them if he'd actually done it.

GM Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Carroll obviously has handed in a transfer request. What's behind that request is what folk are disputing. Personally, I'm keen to find out from the horse's mouth what really motivated him to leave Newcastle. I can't help thinking there's a lot more to this that we don't know about (concerning his personal circumstances) that will have combined with the chance to make big bucks with a club that has in recent years had a great deal more success than we have. Only then will I know how I really feel about this situation. Others have already got him hung, drawn and quartered as a Judas to the cause. Thing is, you don't know what else may have been at play here, other than money obviously... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mantis Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm pissed off that Liverpool will have the strikeforce I would have dreamed of having here. Carroll wants to be a dipper so let him go and sign and hopefully his fitness will keep him away from the pitch for a few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 People jumping on Ashley's back aren't looking at the facts. We are getting 35m for a 21 year old, you won't find me many chairman that wouldn't have accepted that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What are the conspiracy theorists going to do if Carroll doesn't come out and contradict the club's claim that he handed in a transfer request? As surely if he hasn't, he'd want to set that straight. Also, can they please make their minds up about whether Ashley's an idiot or an evil genius, he' can't be both, you know. Finally, for those talking about lack of ambition. If we're lacking ambition, then what the fuck does that say about Liverpool who are getting rid of Fernando fucking Torres!!! and replacing him with Andy fucking Carroll! He'll have been paid enough money and signed enough agreements to not come out and set the record straight. Then fuck him, why would you wan't to keep a player happy to sell his soul like that. Because that means that he's no different to 99% of footballers in the world, and he's an excellent footballer and will be hard to replace. I would sell, anyway, but not now. We should have agreed everything and signed all the papers but transferred him over in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Mike Ashley Find it peculiar people are blaming Ashley for his action's today. He is insensate to the fan and media's opinion of him, so this talk of him masterminding a transfer request under duress to paint him more positively sounds like 100% grasping-at-straws bollocks. Maybe had Ashley not been such a gimp in days gone by then Carroll might not have put in a request, but that seems like a pointless avenue of speculation. Carroll With respects to Carroll, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest talents of the modern game. He is fantastic in the air, quick, powerful and good technique. He is also insanely young. So far in his life he's been a bit of a dick (a bit of an understatement). I don't know his reasons for leaving, but there are certain situations in this world where you can either be a hero or a villain... and there is, unfortunately, no grey area. When your ascendancy in his hometown has been as steep as his has been - there is only one way he will be remembered by Newcastle - as a villain. All this being said, I wouldn't be upset if he became the next Darren 'sicknote' Anderton. Us and the "mad" world of football Whether the reasons for Carroll's exit emerge or not, I always find the accusations of players being "fickle" when leaving the mouths of fans. Many Newcastle fans wrote Carroll before his career here had started for crying out loud. For those fans who aren't fickle, it is a big shame, but the sum of money is massive. I hope Ashley does reinvest it, but I fear he won't. I think we have enough about us in midfield to stay up this league (provided we don't pick up a series of unfortunate injuries) but this has certainly left a bitter taste in the mouth. That we did drive such a hard bargain gives me (false?) hope that this isn't just a sign of us being a selling club. I would love it if we could get a high calibre footballing £15-20m striker who fits in with a progressive style of plays which revolves around playing football on the deck and working with Ben Arfa. Losing Carroll is a big blow, but it presents a good, albeit enforced, opportunity to rely less on high balls by removing temptation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
