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


Recommended Posts

Man, Carroll's a mere youngster... if he thinks he deserves England caps already then he needs his head checking anyway.

 

Not suggesting he does mind, but I think it's a bit mad to think he'll be looking for a move to get recognition already.

 

Neither am I really, but those saying not playing him yesterday is good man management and will make him more eager to do better are being incredibly naive.  It's just as likely to send him the other way, particularly having seen himself touted as a future star by the media over the last 6 weeks.

Kevin Davies is shit imo.

 

Always seems to be hyped as an underrated effective target man type who deserves a chance with England. He's all elbows and no ability, aswell as simply not scoring many goals. Would rather have Heskey back tbh.

Kevin Davies holds up the ball well for Bolton.............that's about it.

 

SWP though, don't know what Capello sees in him, meh.

 

If Carroll didn't get the call up because of Pearce not having common sense, then it's somewhat of an injustice for Andy. Mind you, I'm glad he's got a break and that his feet will be firmly on the ground as some of you have touched upon.

Pearce also revealed Newcastle striker Andrew Carroll had been left out of his squad due to the form of Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and Nathan Delfouneso.

 

"We've had a fantastic squad situation here," he said. "I wanted three strikers in my squad and the three strikers I've got in at the moment have done extremely well for me.

 

"There was no room for Andy Carroll in the squad in that respect. I've shown loyalty to the three that have done really well for me at the start of the season.

 

"I have not spoken to Andy. Andy will have a big future in international football. Whether that will be in the next squad, I don't know."

What the hell is this all about, Sturridge and Delfounso is no where near big A atm  :lol:

 

It's down to AC pulling out of the u21 squad twice with knocks and Pearce is saying he didn't want him anyway.

 

Making himself look a twat basically.

Last time i saw him play in the U-21 their whole tactic was just "long balls to Andy Carroll"  i've never seen so many long balls played to one player in a game my whole life..

 

it's gonna be the game plan for montenegro, long balls up to kevin davies all night.  like a future echo of when allardyce gets the job  :explode:

In that last U21 game, Albrighton was getting some great balls into the box but Sturridge and Welbeck were wasting those opportunities.  I thought at the time if AC had played, they would have scored a hatful even if he was just knocking the balls down to other players.  So I definitely think this is a case of Pearce in a huff with Carroll for withdrawing from the last squad and wanting to teach him a lesson.

Can't believe the U21s are getting involved in politics like that. It's bad enough when the full team does it.

 

Sums English football up.

Wellbeck's amazing form must've passed me by unless 0 goals in 6 (+3 sub) appearances is considered good these days :dowie:
