I wouldn't sell him for any money tbh. That's certainly not because I think he's that good, more that we wouldn't be able to replace him (for a variety of reasons).

 

And it would be a pathetic and unforgivable lack of ambition that as soon as we get ourselves a good young player we're selling him.

 

agreed plus there is no evidence the money received would go back out plus who'd we buy?

Fair points.

 

Ashley has always been open about his "everyone has a price tag" approach.

 

Can just imagine he's sitting at home watching Carroll's price slowly creep up with every pundit superlative.

 

I don't think Ashley would take £20m, for what it's worth. We tend to sell for a decent price.

Given? N'Zogbia?

If he keeps on getting better then he's going to be in demand sooner rather than later though. Every player at every club has got his price and if City or whoever start bidding for him eventually we'll accept and he'll go.

 

Don't want to sell him but this is the game.  :undecided:

Both wanted to piss off, anyway. Decent prices given the circumstances.

Sure, if 5 million over three years is the going rate for the then best keeper in the league.

Sure, if fixed means 'not fixed'.

 

I'm confused how you think he was second choice at the time? He was our first choice, he was their first choice and he was Irelands first choice.

Considering Given refused to play for the club again and faked injury forcing our hand, aye it was a fair enough price.

Fab had to be impressed with him and pissed off with the wide men, surely picking Carroll means you plan on getting wide and banging in crosses, all Milner & Theo did was come inside.

Shame for Carroll but he did well with what he got, he looked okay so lets hope he is fine for Bolton.

Hyperbole to point out he wasn't "the best in the league". Less than a year on and he's their second choice. Before leaving Newcastle there were also regular proposals to give Harper a run in the team (ask Midds). Generally considered to be on the decline.

 

He wanted to leave, City made an offer, we took it. We weren't exactly in a very strong negotiating position. Same for N'Zogbia.

 

Instead of focusing on two relatively low transfer fees, have a look at the rest of them. We were ecstatic about Milner and Bassong's fees, were we not?

Sick to death of mackems tonight :lol:

before the game starts : "Carroll not singing national anthem, should never play again for our country the long haired geordie wanker!"

During the game: " Carrolls done nothing should be following hendersons example"  "Thats how you score a goal Carroll" "Why wasnt Crouch on from the start"

FFS man give the lad a chance was the best england player when he was on their 'star' Henderson has done fuck all forgot he was on til he got the yellow at the start of the second half.

Newcastle maintained that if they had had a match on Wednesday night then Carroll would not have played and are worried he will now not be available for Saturday's away trip to Bolton Wanderers, their concerns only increased by Shola Ameobi's absence through injury.
