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


Recommended Posts

To be fair, we have just as ridiculously OTT posts in every match thread of our own :thup:

 

This. Some people on here were calling for Keegan to quit about 6 games into his second management stint here when he still hadn't got a win.

 

Some stuff that comes up in the match threads here aren't that different to the above.

I've seen PhilB's been posting on the forum for a while now, and from what I've seen he's been a canny enough poster. I like the fact that we as a forum have a good number of other teams fans posting here, it's always good to hear their view on their club matters and such. But as the fan of another club you've got to expect to see your club being slated at some point or another, it's just the nature of football and football forums.

 

Take the good with the bad as it were.

"good club really, they do deserve to be back and competing"

 

"If Ben Arfa can regain his fitness and keep a level head he's a brilliant player, if Santon takes his head out of his arse the same applies. And signing (regardless of wages) Tiote, Cabaye and Demba Ba for a total outlay of €8.5m is brilliant business."

On the subject of Carroll, I have to say that even before Liverpool had their players sent off v Spurs, he looked to my like a sunday league player. The only occasion he lookedd like scoring was when Suarez took the ball off him and the goal was disallowed.

 

I think Capello is right. Andy Carroll's lifestyle will result in his steady decline and if he doesnt sort himself pretty bloody quickly, then he will end up being an also ran at some championship club on a free in a few years time.

 

Biggest mistake he ever made was leaving us and we have certainly "goosed" liverpool in my opinion.

 

On the subject of Enrique, he has looked pretty ordinary too although it is still early days.

Still can't believe we got Cabaye for 4.5m like. Can't fathom why no one else came in for him at that price? Especially someone like 'arry at Spurs, he'd normally be all over a bargain like that.

 

I think when it comes to sniffing out bargains, free transfers and release clauses we are as good as anyone in the league right now. Sometimes though a player is needed out of necessity to fill an important gap in the squad and you might have to pay a full price. We seem to be lacking in the flexibility and skill in our negotiating to do this side of the job effectively.

Aye that clip was on at half time during one of the Fox Soccer matches I was watching. I tried to screengrab but didn't have the commitment at the time.
