Dave Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Oh, and if we do alright in the next few games without Carroll then I'd expect the likelihood of selling him to increase substantially. I'm not saying it's a certainty we'll sell Carroll, just that I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. could work in reverse aswell. In that instance it would be better for our medium/long term prospects to do poorly in the short term. What a desperately pathetic state of affairs that would be.

JH Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 It's too big of an 'if' anyway, because I can't see us doing well in the next few games anyway. So we might as well just hope for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Let's hope someone doesn't offer 41 million or lets hope someone does as he's not worth that muc....providing we get it to spend and spend it well. won't happen like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I understand that people are concerned, but have they really went and sold our best players in the past? Can't think of a situation when they've sold someone that didn't want to leave, that's then went on to cripple the team. ALL previous boards have sold our best players - even KK under SJH sold Andy Cole, admittedly so he could sign Ferdinand later but Man U wanted Cole amd away he went. We did OK after he went, but we finished lower than in the previous season. Then you have Gazza, Beardsley, Waddle, Supermac, Pop Robson etc etc...some of these players wanted to go, but only because they couldn't see the club winning honours - has that changed now ? If the right offer comes in, Carroll will be off although I would still be surprised if it was before the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The best timing for Ashley to sell Carroll is the 2012 summer, after Euro 2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware of that - are you saying that because he went in Jan 95 it didn't affect out final placing in May ? Otherwise, i don't see the point you are making. The issue under discussion was whether NUFC have sold their best players or not and the answer to that has been, apart from a few years in the mid 90s, an unequivocal YES ; even Fergie mentioned it in his book when he talked about the Cole transfer - his words were that 'Newcastle have never been able to keep their best players'. It riled me at the time, but he was right and has been ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
