Guest Ridzuan Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It just came upon to me, what if all of it is just one big conspiracy?? Who knows they might secretly be sacrificing Andy Carroll to go to Liverpool first for the money, ask him not to perform well for Liverpool, then get him back on the cheap and it becomes a great strategic move.

(well 7th if Torres's goes through aswell) Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I was hoping other clubs would make of a deal out of this than we would, but it seems that the hysteria is mounting already and nothing has been confirmed. If he goes, he goes for a price that is currently way over the top. If he stays great. At the moment I'd like to believe its just SSN making it sound bigger than it actually is it keep people watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If Carroll leaves today, and we don't have a world class replacement, I'm done with this club under Mike Ashley for good. Simple as. Can't take it anymore. Wondered when this would start. Don't agree with it, but can understand why they'd accept £35m. You'll struggle to find many chairmen that wouldn't. @ CMcQ Why support a club with no ambition, one which sells its own players and treats its fans and managers like shit? And why laugh at me for pointing out that that is difficult? Go support City then. Guess, you didn't support or know about what selling your best players did in the 80's then. Pushed us to the brink of the 3rd tier of English football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 problem is we will have to pay stupid money for new proven striker at this point before the window close. We will have to pay overprice and probably silly wages! dont know what to think of this?.....its a lot of money! If we sold caroll and spend some of the money right it could improve us....not in this window though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We're selling our best players, but fuck me, that's a lot of McFlurries. SELL!" This is Newcastle United. We're not some team of village idiots. We're supposedly a Premiership football team that wants to get back into Europe. This is the wrong decision, at the wrong time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If Carroll leaves today, and we don't have a world class replacement, I'm done with this club under Mike Ashley for good. Simple as. Can't take it anymore. Wondered when this would start. Don't agree with it, but can understand why they'd accept £35m. You'll struggle to find many chairmen that wouldn't. Look, I understand that. I know its a lot of money. But Ashley should know that Carroll is irreplaceable. He's not going to get anyone better in, certainly not someone with the potential to be what Carroll could be for us over the next ten years. Ashley has fucked up so many times before, and Carroll does not want to leave. Ashley should get behind Carroll and the fans for once, and just hold on for one day. If Carroll went for the same price in the summer, at the start of the summer, then fair enough. We could rebuild the squad decently. But now, with no replacements that we know of lined up (since no one in January could replace him for sensible money), this is a stupid, stupid decision. Money is NOT everything in football. And if it is, now, then the game's a shadow of what it once was. Why do we need to get someone better in? How about using any money we receive (IF is happens) to improve the team overall. We could get a new winger (£10m), new striker (£15m), second striker (£10m). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The transfer fee is irrelevant for now in my opinion. We still have half the season to play without our best forward and wont have time today to buy anyone with it. Also there are no guarantees all of the money will go back into the transfer kitty. Pardew could also spend it in a similar fashion to Keane at Sunderland i.e. paying high fees for average players. If Carroll is worth £35 million then we should keep him and build the team around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
