Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Why did he HAVE to submit a transfer request if this is all a conspiracy and told to do it? Was he forced at gunpoint? Money, man. It still doesn't mean he wanted to leave, but if he knew that the club didn't really want him to stay, I'm sure he would seriously consider leaving. How else would you feel if your club said 'we think we'll be better off if we sold you' which is effectively what accepting a bid is. I'm not blaming him. I'm blaming Ashley for accepting a bid this late in the transfer window. The rest of this is just PR. Ashley's fucked up his PR enough to know that he can't afford to just sell Carroll when the player has said he wanted to stay. That would jeopardise the goodwill that has been generated in the past few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We BETTER have somebody lined up to replace him. Don't count on it mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Fucking hell people Carroll would not risk his reputation by letting Ashley say he had a transfer request if he didnt want to go This is Carroll not Ashley Ashley has played this as well as he could ASHLEY IS NOT TO BLAME!

Decky Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Pardew will only get about £15 - £20 million out of this if he is lucky. He will probably spend it on shite as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The fact we've rejected an offer and then accepted after the request suggests to me he wanted to go, absolute knob. Come on.

Yorkie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't understand the conspiracies regarding the transfer request. The narrative as i see it: Carroll knows Liverpool will boost his wages considerably > Newcastle refuse to sell but Carroll wants to go > Carroll hands in transfer request What other narratives are there? Summat about Ashley saving face? I don't understand it..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Guardian rumour of Johan Elmander having late medical here. Even if its true, he's fucking dreadful. not this season, he hasn't.

Flip Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I would have been gutted if he was only sold, but handing in a transfer request just worsens the situation. Fucking knobhead if it's true.

Skirge Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So do people think we are making him go and the transfer request is bollocks from the club, or the club wanted to keep him but he had his head turned and therefore handed in the transfer request ?

TRon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Can't f***ing believe this. Those blaming Ashley can f*** off now. We've done everything we could to keep him and he's stabbed us in the back. f*** off. We've accepted a bid, man. Of course it's partially Ashley's fault. Accepted the bid after he submitted the transfer request. The way the situation has been presented leads me to believe that we had every intention of selling him if the right bid came in. I would have been amazed if anyone turned down that sort of money. Just hope we don't spunk it away on wannabe replacements who don't cut the mustard.

Minhosa Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If someone said to you - you've got the chance to treble your wage, get an instant lump sum of about £3.5m as well as a much higher profile in your industry but you have to let your Clients you're moving because you want to and not because your existing company wants to keep you wouldn't you do it? I think it's a great fee and I'm not particularly arsed about pinning the blame anywhere but it'd be very naive not to think of why Pardew was appointed and the history we have with Ashley.
