bealios Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not sure why the conspiracy about Carroll's transfer request. He wanted to go, and NUFC have said that they won't accept a bid unless you hand in a transfer request. So he does it. The idea that a rumour that NUFC would accept a bid of £35m upset him so much that he then decided to change his mind and go (and agree personal terms in 15minutes) is absurd. His agent will have been dealing with Liverpool all day. Would be a laugh if he failed the medical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Transfer request was pr for Ashley. Carroll agreed for £££ and because at that point he had probably made up his mind. Carroll handing in a transfer request will have cost him a fortune, he hasn't done that for PR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Gary speed had a bid accepted for him behind his manager's back. If a bid is accepted for you, you go. Simple as. It's a pride thing, it's a money thing. The only time I've seen a player reject a chance to move to a better club was kaka, and that was because he was uncertain about city.

polpolpol Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 #Carroll wanted to stay at #NUFC. Handed in request after leaked they would sell him for £35m. Worth remembering B4 making JUDAS banners from danwalkerbbc So why was a £35m bid rejected then.. It wasnt. They released that we rejected their 2nd offer & gave no details on what that was, we may well have accepted a 3rd by that point & been calming a backlash. Its common sense. Common sense?, really? Its common sense to say that we hadn't rejected a bid, because we probably, maybe, perhaps had accepted a third bid, so Carroll then asked to leave instead of just leaving and picking up his part of the transfer? That's common sense now? You've tangled up your own thoughts there. Im purely saying that we simply released that we'd turned down a 2nd offer. The idea that this meant a deal was off the table or hadnt already been agreed since that point is all assumptions. David craig was making a point of saying Ashley was resisting selling as much as he could, as if he was "trying his best" & a further way to back this up would be to leak that we'd turned down 2 offers in a row. This purely suggests that we were trying hard to keep him, which is what you're being lead to think. The fact that we made no attempt to take any deal off the table & were quiet all day suggests the opposite. Still no explanation as to why he handed in a transfer request. Does it not maker more sense that we actually DID reject the bids, Caroll decides he wants a payrise - hands in a transfer request, leaving little option but to accept bid? Without an official transfer request Carroll would get a cut of the transfer fee. If he wanted to go, NUFC will have only sanctioned it if he put in a request and relinquished this cut. It's pretty simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley needed to keep the goodwill of fans more than Carol. as carol has left and dosnt need to sell season tickets here. Ashley would have simply said were accepting 35mil- yr getting 80k a week- but we need a transfer request to excuse us. cant see how people cant accept this.

Does it not maker more sense that we actually DID reject the bids, Caroll decides he wants a payrise - hands in a transfer request, leaving little option but to accept bid? Ive been over it enough times tbf I dont doubt that we rejected the bids, it means very little. We made liverpool fully aware that A deal was on the table & that we were willing to sell. They had the money coming in to match what we wanted, they knew we knew that & had little room to negotiate because of that. Yes Carrolls at fault for handing in a request. Whether for reasons of wanting a much higher wage or being disillusioned by us being so willing to let him go. Either way he should have done better by us fans & for the team he loves. He didnt, he let us down & went for the money. Both Ashley & Carroll have let us down. The transfer is poor news for us, hopefully we will make a positive somehow. It gets tiring having all this positive progression knocked away for no reason though & Ashley is a common theme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Going back to indi's point before, why does suddenly care about not facing a backlash from the fans? It didn't stop him with Pardew or Hughton, so why now? Carroll handed in a transfer request, we accepted a bid, he left. End of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
