Dr Venkman Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Judging by that very short MOTD interview I think it's fair to say he knows where he'll be playing next season, and it won't be West Ham. He did say he won't give anything away when asked if he's staying. Unless we have already been in touch with him or his agent, I take that to mean he's in advanced talks with West Ham, and it's probably mainly a matter of West Ham agreeing a deal with Liverpool. Given what the question was, if that was the case I don't know why his answer wouldn't have just been 'yeah'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If Pardew is staying I think it's vital we sign Carroll. Totally agree. How do you suggest we do that? He's only interested in money. If we don't match his Liverpool wages, he ain't coming. All this "he loves the Toon" shite is embarrassing. Just because I think it's vital doesn't mean I think it'll happen. Fair dos, plenty people seem to think it's a foregone conclusion. West Ham will buy him for £12m plus add-ons IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If he's really going for £12m I think we'd sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't. The question was 'is there a possibility that you'll be here next season?'. Meh, we'll see anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Anyone think Liverpool would refuse an offer from us if we only matched West Ham's because it would look better selling to West Ham for £12m than to us for £23m less than we sold him for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Nolan looks like he's really slimmed down so fair play. Looks like the move to West Ham has been good for his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 We really need him, unfortunately. Really hope we dont let West Ham wrap this up. If we are sticking with that clown then we may as well sign someone comfortable with the ball in the air Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 That loss was around £6m wasn't it? ...an initial £19m with a further £1.3m of potential add-ons, is understood to have cost Tottenham an initial £12m. That fee will rise quickly to nearer £16m with further ambitious add-ons, linked to silverware he claims at Spurs... Aye, around £7m loss then.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Can West Ham get anywhere near affording him? Apparently they are in talks to make it permanent, but I don't see how unless Liverpool are willing to take a big hit. Guess WH could use the new TV money.

Raconteur Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I know you shouldn't take the word of a snake-oil merchant like Allardyce, but didn't he say something like them not being able to afford him and comply with the FFP rules? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I believe a bid around 14m would be enough to beat West Ham. The question is should we opt for other options if we are willing to pay that much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
