SUPERTOON Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 'In the meeting Carroll said 'he loved the club and didn't want to go'. However that he wanted a new contract of 60K a week to stay.' What i was told. I can obviously see why people are a bit 'meh' about this, and thats fair enough Time will tell particularly with the Rennes player (midfielder i think). The lad i was talking to is trying to find out the name of the player. I forgot to add that the bids we made at the end of the window were all rejected as we were getting quoted astronomical figures. These strikers to replce Carroll were: Crouch Elmander Carlton Cole Again make of it what you will. I'm just passing on what i've heard. Owen Coyle said that they had no bids at all for Elmander.

Guest guinness_fiend Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Still can't believe the lanky streak of piss that could barely control a football 2 years ago has gone for £35 million. Amazing really. I said in relegation season he'd probably end up in league 1. Remember the contoversy when he was given the number 9 shirt? Bizarre. To be fair, a mate of mine said at the start of last season he'd be England's first choice centre forward in two years time. Remember to kick your mate square in the balls next time you see him. No-one likes a smart-arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Anyone else still feel absolutely gutted, regardless of who was to blame? :-[ yup. TheGuv's post doesn't really paint any party in a particularly bad light, though i'll be disappointed if we accepted £32.5m when the news sources were reporting bids in excess of 35m/35 rising to 40. Also be fucking furious if we've seriously bid for peter crouch, johan elmander and carlton cole. suppose we'll know if Rennes announce one of their players has agreed to join us...

BlueStar Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Taking ITKness at face value, can we assume if he's given number 8 that he'd be a midfielder, or am I living in a prehistoric era where numebrs actually had meaning?

The Rennes player malarkey is a pre signed contract i think or whatever its called so he won't be coming til the summer. So i doubt Rennes or us will say owt.

TRon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Anyone else still feel absolutely gutted, regardless of who was to blame? :-[ Yes. Even though I don't blame either party in this too much it feels awful to have lost a young player who had his whole future here ahead of him. Can't stand Liverpool at the best of times but I won't be able to watch their games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sylvain Marveaux IIRC is out of contract soon and last I heard he'd agreed a deal with Liverpool, can't remember if it went through though. Makes sense though because he'd be a bargain player in the cheap git mould. Would be a decent signing by all accounts if it wasn't bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 TheGuv, who told your mate this? That aside, I think I'll throw some conjecture of my own into the thread. Like James Milner did, Carroll 'probably' agreed a £25k 5 year contract with the club on a good faith basis, and was led to believe it would soon increase if appropriate in line with his career progression. On the day he was sold, he was 'probably' told he won't be getting a rise until nearly the end of the long term deal and that he shouldn't have signed it if he didn't like it. 'Accept this or make a transfer request'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sort of general knowledge between the coaching staff there tbh. He knew the gist of it but was mainly told the craic off one of the main physios. Thats how he found out the bit about the Rennes player. He probably shouldn't have been told but the physio must have let it slip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Fuck Carroll. The thick prick isn't going to ruin my love for the game. Granted a lot of the romanticism has been eroded away by the rampant capitalism of the modern footballing era, but I have a lot of memories unsullied by it. And these big money fuckers haven't quite figured out how to get into my mind and corrupt these memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
