Robster Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I thought the common consensus was that big deals don't get done in the January window ? There is some quantity of money flying about this month Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 f*** of Liverpool yee cænts ? As of yesterday afternoon there was no contact between Newcastle and Liverpool regarding Carroll. Obviously this can't be the truth when they've had a bid today... When did i type it though?

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We'll be without Carroll for most of the season anyway, so its not as if we'd 'miss' him if we sold him now. £35m is stupid money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Who would sell if they came back in with £35 million? Hate to say it but I would Providing the money was used in the summer. 35 million man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Wondering if this means AC is willing to go? Usually does when it reaches this stage. Can't see why he would, or why we would sell to them. We can compete with them next season - if we hold onto our players that is!! What stage?

Ginola Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I wouldn't sell today full stop, even for £40m+, if someone comes in with an offer like that in the summer it is a totally different scenario though. This. We wouldn't have time to bring in a replacement, and we're hardly oozing top quality strikers at the moment. It'd be stupid to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I wouldn't sell him for any money. He's ours already, show some fucking ambition. Same goes for those of you naming a price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NQsDiscoPants Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If Newcastle turn down 30m for Andy Carroll they're absolutely mental. That's an outrageous offer for someone who has only had a good six months in the Premiership. And look at it on the otherside, we have a striker now thats worth more then 30 mil and other teams sniffing round. i think retaining the asset is far better. Assets can depreciate as well as appreciate - he would need to come back fit and continue to score goals or his price will plummet. There's no guarantee he'll do that - teams will inevitably start to come to terms with him (like they tend to do with all players) so he'll find it increasingly difficult. This time last year Bobby Zamora was the next big thing.... You could buy half a dozen good players with £30m. Like I said, if they've turned that down they are absolutely mental. Incompetent.

Colocho Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We should wait until the end of the season if we are going to sell him. £35m in the summer, could make us a Top 7 side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Its difficult - the amount of money would be a factor, but selling him today would leave us with no time to sign a replacement, and struggle on with Shola, Loven, Best and Ranger for the rest fo the season - and thats a gamble. However, turning down these huge bids could also send out a message of intent to the rest of the squad, that we are trying to build something and not just sell at the best offer. However, I think if any offers get close to or hit £40m and the club would probably accept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning_Linguist Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 £40M and we'll consider. Then I wouldn't sell him for any money. He's ours already, show some f***ing ambition.

brummie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 30 million pounds is insane money. That's a team building amount of cash. I think you should take it, or at the very, very least, give it serious consideration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
