question: how in gods name can they think their position has not been dramatically weakened by so publicly trying to offload him? Do these people have any common sense?

 

TBF, the owners are American.  We think differently about how sports franchises are to be run.  I can't see any American owner of a Prem Team having long term success.  Yes even Man U.

Don't we have a 25% sell on fee? So £20mil would become £15mil?

 

 

 

I'm sure it would be written into the contract that we couldn't benefit from the clause in that way

 

Thought we had first option on him too.. might have made that up though.

Think it's 25% of any profit they make. So if they got £45m we would get £2.5m. If they got £35m or less we would get fuck all :pow:

That would be wrong of them tbh, if you look past the fact that we absolutely shanked them in the first place anyway.

 

If they are selling him back to us then they shouldn't be looking for more than they would West Ham and co, and us having to fork out enough to cover the 25% would mean just that.

25% of any sale, that includes back to us.

 

Yeah, but knowing that they'd just ask for 25% more than they'd want, surely.

 

The most they'll get out of us is £15m - 25% (£11.25m) i think that is the fee the board have in mind and won't budge on it. WHAM or whoever can offer more £20m say, but Carroll knowing we are in for him won't move elsewhere.

 

If Liverpool want £20m for Carroll and they get it elsewhere we receive £5m anyway, but I cannot see any team paying that, most £15m, and that's were we come in with our 25% off voucher, we may even top it up to £12m just so were doing them a slight favour.

 

At the moment in time the only club they can realistically sell him to is us, they can drag their heels but its their mess, they made him unhappy, they don't want the loan and we all know since the moment he left he wished for his return home.

I trust our scouting team to be able to pull out someone better on a lot less wages for that sort of money.

 

Personally I don't think Carroll would change our play or have any negative effect on how we set up, him in the centre of a 4-3-3 (Cisse injured/rested not replaced, obviously) would work quite well imo without having to resort to long ball. He is decent on the ground and if we are pinging balls about he would be good at holding up and allowing the other 2 attackers to get forward and cause havoc.

Newcastle will return with an improved package in the hope of signing Andy Carroll from Liverpool on a season-long loan deal. Liverpool flatly refused the initial offer of how big a percentage of the player's £75,000-a-week salary Newcastle would agree to pay for the forthcoming season.

 

It is believed their opening bid was to pay less than half of the salary of a player they sold to the same club 18 months ago for £35m. However, Newcastle are determined to re-sign the 23-year-old England striker, who has told friends he is open to the idea of a return to St James' Park, despite being unhappy at Liverpool's determination to off-load him.

 

:lol:
