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


Recommended Posts

I love how on SSN they were asking some of the players how they felt Carroll did in his debut...Crouch, A.Young...and then Henderson. :lol:

 

His big moment in front of the cameras after his England debut, "How do you think Carroll played". :lol: :lol:

To be fair to SSN, I'm still not quite sure that Henderson made his debut yesterday.

Ha ha... it's all too much for them that Carroll has gotten decent enough reviews for his performance, and Henderson hasn't.

 

Henderson's only meaningful contribution was to get booked!

 

However, it doesn't matter what Carroll did last night, the idiot majority on RTG woudl still have been slating him.

On further inspection of that thread, best bit has to be 'He bullied Turner but not Bramble'.....who got sent off cause he got burned by Carroll and had to chop him down?

Chris hopeful on hit men will be fit for Bolton

 

Nov 18 2010 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

 

CHRIS HUGHTON is confident that Andy Carroll will be fit for Saturday’s trip to Bolton Wanderers.

 

And he will leave his decision to the last possible minute before deciding if Shola Ameobi has shaken off his hamstring injury sufficiently to face the Trotters.

 

Nile Ranger and Peter Lovenkrands are both on standby to feature at the Reebok if there is even the slightest of concerns.

 

Hughton told the Chornicle today: “We’ll assess Andy today and it looks like he got through OK.

 

“We’re aware of the problem he had.

 

“Hopefully he is available for the weekend.

 

“There was concern.

 

“When we assessed Andy on Sunday, it looked like he would miss the game.

 

“He made a good recovery over two or three days.

 

“But when we assessed him after Saturday’s injury at that stage it looked like he wouldn’t be able to play.

 

“We sent him down to England and over the two or three days there was enough of a recovery to play.”

 

United ended up in a public tug of war with the FA over Carroll’s services this week. And Hughton added: “There was concern, that is true. The unfortunate bit for us was it made the papers.

 

“The lines of communication between us and the FA were correct, but it got out.

 

“Both parties are very happy with how we conducted ourselves.

 

“I’m delighted for him to make his debut – it was special night for him.

 

“It was hard for Andy. He didn’t get the opportunities and service, but he did very, very well.

 

“He worked hard and kept possession and he should be happy.”

 

Asked if he had been nervous during the England game, Hughton says: “I think you are nervous.

 

“Ours was a genuine one to be nervous about.

 

“You send players away with a clean bill of health and there are no problems, but it wasn’t the case for Andy.”

 

And reflecting on Shola Ameobi’s fitness, Hughton said: “We’re still assessing Shola and he will be touch and go.

 

“We haven’t ruled him out yet.”

 

Fabio Capello insisted last night that England had cleared it with Newcastle to play Carroll.

 

“Franco (Baldini, England general manager) spoke with Newcastle before the game and we checked him before the game,” said Capello.

 

“I spoke with him (Carroll) at the hotel, personally, and after the warm-up here. After the first half, too. He told me he was fit to play every time.

 

“No player has ever played with me who was not fit. Our doctor said he was fit, so the player was ready to play. He played 70 minutes very well, no problem.”

 

Capello said he was pleased with Carroll’s debut. “Andy because he played very well. He’ll be a player who’ll be important for the future of England.

 

“When he received the ball he played quickly and his movement every time was dangerous.”

 

:thup:

Fuck me some of the plebs on rtg really are fucking thick as mince.

 

Using the fact that crouch scored when he came on to attempt to prove carroll is crap.....i mean fucking hell wooden headed argument or what.

 

Nowt to do with the fact the midfield were given the run about then. :idiot2:

If the pony tail channels the spirit of Gabriel Batistuta (which is the only explanation for sporting such a monstrosity) then I don't mind.

Took to the stage well, but the complete lack of any real decent service to him meant he could only have a limited impact on the game. Liked how he seemed to have no problem with letting the more experienced players know exactly how he wanted to receive the ball.

 

Was one moment where we had a free kick on the half-way line, and Carroll nodded it down for Gerrard who then smashed it well over. Carroll wouldn't take his eyes off Gerrard as he lightly jogged backwards onside, waiting for an acknowledgement of his header. For me, it just summed up the massive difference in the team spirit we have at Newcastle and the team of 11 good individual players we have for England.
