Andy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 25 million Not much wrong with that valuation in the current market... Young English striker, carrying shit loads of hype, who's scoring goals in a poor team and generally giving defences a battering -- as long as we're still a premiership team, £25 million is not far away from what we should be looking for, especially if the likes of City come in.

Guest neesy111 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 If Man City paid £20M for Roque Santa Crock, then Carroll must easily be above that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 We need players in return, if we get cash for him then another team will bump up the price for the striker we sniff round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 He shouldn't be for sale, full stop. For the fee we could get, we wouldn't be able to find and sign players to give us what Carroll might give us. And our financial situation isn't that dire that we need to sell everyone.

relámpago blanco Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Bet if Man City came in we'd get 40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 If we were offered £40m for him, we'd be daft not to take it tbh. I wouldn't want us to because i'd like to see him stay at Newcastle for a long time, but we could completely reshape our squad with that sort of money and progress more than we could if we kept him.

Tooj Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 If Carroll becomes half as good as Shearer was at his best, he'll be out the door. If Carroll can maintain this level of form, he'll surpass the league totals Shearer achieved in his last 5 seasons, even without penalties. I think he's on the verge of being as good as Shearer post-injury. He's got a long way to go to come close - even to post-injury Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Whilst Shearer was slow post injury he was still one of the best pure strikers of a ball I have ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Whilst Shearer was slow post injury he was still one of the best pure strikers of a ball I have ever seen. I really do believe if he wasn't out for 2 seasons and having his older attributes he could have easily scored anohter 50 goals for us, and maybe we would have won some silverware Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It might be inaccurate (probably) but the sentiment is correct. The money certainly wouldn't all go back into the team. Anyway: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm sure he hasn't hit his peak value anyway. If we sell him now it would be a disgrace (not that we are). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Time is on both the club and Carroll's side. Carroll can only improve, and you'd think the same could be said of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It might be inaccurate (probably) but the sentiment is correct. The money certainly wouldn't all go back into the team. Hate to get into this again like but while we've been in the Premiership every penny of transfers has always gone back into the team. In future maybe it wouldn't, always a possibility, but I wouldn't assume that'd be the case. I agree we shouldn't sell him under normal circumstances, then again the current transfer market isn't normal (Milner going for £20m+ FFS ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Go on then, who did we spend the £12m from the Milner sale on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 We already spent over £12m before we sold Milner. Look at the transfers in vs transfers out during our time in the Premiership under Ashley, we've broken even every year, I doubt that's a coincidence.

Dave Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So are you saying we needed to sell Milner? I know we're not discussing the exact same thing, but if it's the case then it hardly helps to destroy the theory that Ashley would sell any of our players if needs be. I wonder who's going in January to pay for Tiote et al? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but milner was pretty mediocre for us anyway. Totally agree. I do appreciate where Teasy is coming from but I still don't think the type of money Carroll would surely attract would go directly into the remaining team. Perhaps some of it. The timing is perhaps more important that anything - the deals we did in January 2009 were disasterous and I wouldn't put it past Ashley to do something like that again I'm afraid.
