ohmelads Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Because if someone comes in with a bid of £30m for a player, no matter who he is, that's a serious offer that would be accepted by most chairmen and for most players. Only Man City would offer that much for a striker with 11 goals in the Premier League. I would imagine Spurs' offer to be somewhere near half that. But anyway, even if we did receive a tempting offer such as that, everyone knows you're loaded and you won't get deals like the Ben Arfa or Tiote one. A they know you're desperate for a replacement and B they know you're flush with cash. Look how much Liverpool forked out for Aquilani after the whole world saw them get a huge amount for Alonso.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Scottwilsonecho Scott Wilson And the 'breaking' Carroll news is hardly revelatory either. Redknapp was told there'd be no sale after the game at Spurs last Tues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is. He's a very promising player, but 30 million pounds is a huge amount of money for a player with so little top flight experience. This isn't just about Ashley or Newcastle, every single chairman in the league - bar one or possibly two - would think very, very seriously about that sort of cash.

"The controversial business plans of Mike Ashley are also a factor, with conjecture suggesting that the Newcastle owner is running the club as a business in his long-term plans to sell-up and that he would be prepared to listen to offers for any player." We've just been asked how much we wanted, and we said fuck off. How can this suggest we'll listen to any offer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I hate about the football press... they just invent absolute bollocks based on total speculation. It also annoys me when my Dad believes it all and is convinced Ashley is looking to asset-strip the club. Totally infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can, arguably, get more mileage out of inventing stories than they do out of reporting real facts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't just about Ashley or Newcastle, every single chairman in the league - bar one or possibly two - would think very, very seriously about that sort of cash. Yup agree with this, I would not sell for less but 30M is serious money. For some perspective of how much 30M is, VDV cost 8M, Edin Dzeko the most sought after striker cost City 27M, Ozil the hottest property after the WC cost Madrid 16.6M...so if we put sentiments aside, 30M for Carroll is a lot of money. I take Ohmelads point that prices might be inflated if other clubs know that we have 30M to burn, but we can do the transfers simultaneously and only pull all the triggers at the same time when we got the deal we want, in other words don't sell till we got the deal for the 3-4 players we want sorted.

relámpago blanco Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Carroll's nowhere near good enough man Your mental if you think Carroll has suddendly become a good player after playing a good twenty mins for us,every other time I have seen him play hes being pure shit. Carroll is shit. He'd be out of his depth in the baby pool at wet n wild. Awful, awful footballer. At this level anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Anyone actually think Fat Mike got a plan for this? I mean, £30+ mill and he still says NO? I think that's a highly doubtful scenario... Fat Mike will unfortunately be willing to cash in any priced assets to try to run his cash account in ++++++++++ cuz them McDonalds are starting to increase in price - needs to keep his weight up!

alpal78 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 One season wonder. nobody knows but when we talk of potential it could go both ways. He could be England's next main striker or he could just be a one season wonder. That is why taking 30M and getting a player who has been proven at the highest level many seasons over plus 1-2 more players is a really good deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I remember seeing him play against Birmingham when they beat us 5-1 in the League Cup a few years ago. At the time he was so awful that I just wanted to punch him, and I was hoping that they wouldn't offer him a pro contract. How times have changed.
