Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Mick, Ashley could easily have paid him what he was going to get. It is money well spent by Ashley, judging by the reaction on here. Damn good PR. Carroll handed in the transfer request, I'm sure that he would have been offered more money if he'd stayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'll keep repeating this: It is typical in a players contract that they get a loyalty bonus when they leave, unless they submit a transfer request. This is why Milner submitted a transfer request. There is evidence to suggest that it is club policy to obtain a written transfer request where possible to avoid this payment.

Parky Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What kind of money will Carroll have given up by putting in a transfer request? Not if MA asked him to put it in to ease the backlash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What kind of money will Carroll have given up by putting in a transfer request? It's normally something like 10% of the fee isn't it? £3,500,000 is a lot of money to make Mr Ashley (the one who really cares what we all think) look a bit better.

Guest michaelfoster Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 955: I was speaking to a football agent last week, and he told me that if clubs wanted to wrap up deals in time to beat the 2300 GMT deadline for transfers, they really needed to have the player undergoing a medical by 2000 GMT so as to get the assessment done and dusted in time to get the required forms off to the Premier League. Consider this your five minute warning people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mantis Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 he handed in a transfer request (Maybe a while back) NUFC didn't want to reveal it at the time to get the best deal possible from x, y or z. deal agreed Maybe. If he passes the medical with flying colours, might be something in this. Also heard he fancied going somewhere the local birds offer a bit more fight.

The player wont lose out as the agent will wangle that at the other end but it is few quid saved for the selling club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Oh how I wished Gilett was still at Liverpool with Woy pulling the strings.Having said that,I think we have a great deal here but only if it is re-invested,and that is where my enthusiasm is somewhat blighted. I agree, the only person to let the fans down today has been Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Transfer request was pr for Ashley. Carroll agreed for £££ and because at that point he had probably made up his mind. Carroll handing in a transfer request will have cost him a fortune, he hasn't done that for PR. Presumably it costs him a little less than the extra dosh he'll make from his salary at Liverpool over the life of the contract. Right that explains why he wanted to leave and handed in a transfer request to get the move, how does that explain why he'd do it for Ashley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 As every minute goes by , I'm thinking more and more about how bad this deal was for us the supporters. We'll not see that money fully re-invested, no one should kid themselves on that score. Even if we see a quarter of it, it'll be spunked on some overprice has been or never was. Thank god we have 30 points already in the bank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 £35m is ridiculous cash. From a neutral pov, the only downside is the lack of time in the window to replace him. Obviously you'll be gutted he wanted out since he's a local lad etc. NUFC haven't done badly out of it at all though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I love the way people don't believe anything the papers/journos say, even though on an awful lot of occasions since Ashley took over they've been correct with stories we all thought bollocks, but believe everything "official", from a club that have been proven to be liars. If Ashley is lying then Carroll or his agent will let us know and then Ashley will get all of the shit he deserves thrown at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Fat Mike is rather good at selling the clubs assets on transfer deadline day and (conveniently) not giving himself time to get quality replacements in, isn't he! He simply just had to say "no mike, I don't won't to leave". Handing in a transfer request makes absolutely no sense what so ever if he was going to be sold anyway. Mike could quite easily have said, No, Andrew, I will not allow you to leave, your transfer request is refused. This is not unheard of in the world of professional football. Wonder why Liverpool didn't try that cunning plan with Torres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
