SEMTEX Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 People think this is FM with all this 'if we accepted a bid why we would he hand in a transfer request'. It's f***ing not. Someone from LFC calls up and says 'we'll offer x', we say 'yes', tell them the conditions that Carroll has to say he handed in a transfer request, tell Carroll, Carroll doesn't mind staying or leaving, especailly since he'll be getting a massive and instant raise, so he goes along with it. Lots of non-disclosure agreements are signed, lots of money changes hand and at the end of it, Liverpool can say they got a player that wanted to play for them and Ashley can say that he did all he could do keep Carroll. Everybody's happy, and both sets of fans love their owners more after today. Yup. Why on earth would Carroll be happy at that? He'll have trouble whenever he comes to Newcastle now. I don't think that's a particularly important factor tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Torres is 50 mil so for that case did we agree on 52 mil? If they say British record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah why didn't we just handcuff him to a radiator until the window closed.. Common ffs, we did well to resist such an insane offer to begin with. He's asked to leave now, we cant do much more. Aye we were struggling to resist so much that we stayed silent & kept inviting offers. Poor Ashley, hes been completely caught off guard Fucking hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This means Torres to Chelsea is also done, by the way. There's no way Liverpool will allow Chelsea to pull out of the deal at this stage, so it's done. And you're all incredibly naive if you think that Carroll seriously wanted to leave and that Ashley did all he could to keep him. Incredibly naive.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Feel fucking sick about this TBH. Local lad, born 5 minutes down the road from me, wearing the number 9 for the toon. The stuff dreams are made of, a player you could really get behind. Fuck this shit about £35m being too much to turn down. It's not about money, it's about sending the message that we're NUFC and we're on the way up. And fuck Andy Carroll for leaving us, why the fuck would he want to play for Liverpool anyway?

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ronaldo - £80m Ibrahimovic - £56.5m Kaka - £56m Torres - £50m (?) Zidane - £45m Figo - £37m Crespo - £35.5m Andy Carroll - £35m (?) Villa - £34m Buffon - £32.6m Robinho - £32.5m Vieri - £32m Shevchenko - £11m Nedved - £30.7m That looks so wrong.

alpal78 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.

David28 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I wouldn't be as disappointed as I am but, Pardew said that Carroll WILL stay. Carroll said he's happy here wearing the Nr. 9 shit and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The blame is split. If the club was run with more ambition Carroll wouldn't want to leave. If Carroll loved the club as much as he said he did he wouldn't want to leave. Fair appraisal. Absolute mental money mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Hoser Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If the transfer request is true, it's like a knife in the heart. Inspired by a poster approx 300 pages back... http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7581/obiwan.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 None of you have a clue whats happened, but you're oh so willing to blame. It could be Carroll or Ashley thats instigated it, just accept that under Ashley the truth is hard to come by, or takes an age to come out. Dont let us do what liverpool did with Gerrard without even knowing the details. . Hear, hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If we'd accepted a £15m bid I would understand people claiming Ashley was desperate to sell. But we turned down £30 million ffs. Obviously every player has his price, especially if he decides to hand in a transfer request. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 its mental seeing liverpool fans celebrating in the background that torres is out and carroll in.....imagine that in the summer! this just feels so crushing - absolutely devastated. by the way i don't think he'll be a success there and we've got an insane amount of money for him. but emotions > money for me. think there should be a 'neither' option on the poll, btw.

Carlito Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well, if you can't expect loyalty from a local lad who we have stuck by threw several altercations with the law, then who can you expect loyalty from? Absolutely disgusting behaviour from Carroll to put a transfer request in this late on in the window - especially as it appears he's strung us along with his "wanting to stay" speeches all along. I hope he is a massive failure at Liverpool and his career nose dives from here. I may sound bitter, but to be honest with you, I am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Let down by both. Massively annoyed with Ashley & him avoiding any abuse on here. I think Carroll would have preferred to stay, but has had his head turned by a huge wage increase. Its understandable to an extent, yet massively dissapointing from him to. Huge shame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
