Dave Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Carroll is on around £90,000 a week at Liverpool; that salary is way beyond Newcastle's budget, although not out of West Ham's salary structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 £90k a week, fucking hell I doubt we'd pay half of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 £90k a week, fucking hell I doubt we'd pay half of that. I'd hope we wouldn't. Would be surprised if any of our players are on that much and Carroll would be far from our best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think Colo is meant to be about £70k (?) but the rest about £40k tops? Probably educated guesswork mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 £90k a week, fucking hell I doubt we'd pay half of that. I imagine the vast majority of clubs wouldn't pay anything like that, and rightly so, too. More and more clubs will be moving in that direction - away from the mental salaries.

Deuce Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can we have a list of alternative really tall strikers that balls can be hammered to. Must be a few in lower leagues, or what about Diabeties from Bordeaux, he would really take the biscuit Chris Samba. He also likes biscuits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturla Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Carroll is on around £90,000 a week at Liverpool; that salary is way beyond Newcastle's budget, although not out of West Ham's salary structure. How can West Ham afford that if Newcastle can't, unbelievable. #FFP I personally would love him back if it wasn't for his injuries. According to that article his now injured for 6 weeks and he only played 25 games this year. Of course it's not a sure thing he will be mr.sicknote, but it is an indicator which I don't like. I'm 50/50 on this although I voted "Yes". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22618340 West Ham have agreed a fee with Liverpool for Andy Carroll but the England striker has yet to decide if he wants to join the Hammers permanently. The London side will match Liverpool's asking price of around £15m, but the 24-year-old is unsure about the move ahead of a World Cup year. It is understood interest from former club Newcastle United has cooled. West Ham are expected to bid for Vitesse Arnhem's Wilfried Bony if Carroll rejects their approach.

West Ham aren't really interested in what they can afford or whether it's a sensible idea to do something, they're run by fucking idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Made the mistake of re-watching the Sunderland 5-1 tonight. Would quite like him back based on that performance but not sure how often he could play like that anymore as he's been picking up knocks consistently since he left us.

nufcjb Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Is there not anyone else other than Carroll? Seems as if some are desperate for the lad to return. The only positives I see for his return is that he is a Geordie lad who 'apparently' wants to play for his hometown club. The only other thing I see is that he could stay here for a long time - ala Shola.. But really would be better for us to have a look at other options first. This time, the club needs to be ultra-confident on who they can get and sign. And they better not run out of time again before its too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Sam Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 £15m!? You have got to be kidding me. He is worth £8m max. If it wasn't for the fact we sold him for £35m (LOL) he wouldn't be anywhere near £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 It all depends if Carroll accepts I suppose, if we've spoken to him he may reject it, awaiting our bid, could be a twist in this. Not that I want him to preserve the cretins job any longer. Why on earth would Liverpool accept an offer from us? We won't be paying £15m for anyone. Didn't you make similar statements before we signed Cisse? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
