Toonpack Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 £16m ffs. Less 25% which is our reported sell on clause with them for AC, less whatever they have left owing to us (they only "only" !! paid £30 Mill up front) say £3Mill, so £16 Mill = £9Mill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crayola Kid Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If its a loan with a set price, activated by number of appearances (i.e. if he plays 25 times we have to cough up and they must sell, if he doesnt either party can back out) it puts us in a good position for next summer, when all of the premier league clubs will be flush with extra cash and so player prices will go up. it gives us a year to decide whether to buy him at this summers price. a year from now we may need a striker more than we do now, or we may not. the price for 'holding' the sale option is a years wages plus whatever loan fee. this is the only was i can rationalise us going near him at these prices this summer, to hold an option which we may need next year more than we do at the minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 What especially bothers me is there's probably no need, we could have waited till deadline day, put in our original bid and we'd have got him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Gupter really dislike Carroll. Was it the same when he was here, or after he went to Liverpool? Same when he was here, you can probably find the evidence of it from a couple of years ago on here, if you're sad. Genuinely celebrated heavily on that 31st of January 2011. I knew then it was a great thing for the club, and it has proved to be. I never want to see him back here, Andy Carroll is a black mark on Newcastle United and a black mark on English football. I do not want to dive into your post mayhem tbh. So much strange shit that might scar me for life. So i believe you But fair play to you sir, stick to your guns. I could just not remember anyone really hating him while he was here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Anyway I doubt we'd be willing to go to £16m unless the're was something else behind the scenes as well as the 25% off we would get (clauses ect). I hope not anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eto'o is probably a little better than my opinion, because I really dislike him, but Benzema is certainly no superstar, although people are starting to understand that now. When you start getting into the realms of Jermain Defoe, Darren Bent and Louis Saha, that's when genuine shite comes out though, fantasy careers they've had in the eyes of many.

steve_69 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Carroll is one of the most physically imposing strikers around at the moment. I reckon he'd be a great re-addition to our squad as long as it doesn't lead to anyone else going. He could give us an extra dimension that was clearly missing at times last season. At times, before we sold him, he was unplayable and we weren't exactly playing Stoke-esque football at the time so the long-ball argument doesn't worry me either. I couldn't give a shit how much we're prepared to pay for him. The only concern I would have is if paying £16m for Carroll means we can't sign another one of our targets, but we still have offers in for Anita, Douglas and Debuchy so that doesn't seem to be the case. Leave the financial decisions to the money men. We've all become tightarses in the last year or so because the club is now being run so well. They're not going to spend money they don't have so fuck it, get him in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So it's impossible for players to get better or others to drop away Benzema had an incredible season, and maybe Real may have won without him but that's rather up in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
