West Ham agree fee in region of £15m with Liverpool for Andy Carroll


Recommended Posts

I was just questioning your logic. You can't make the second statement that they will be comparable if you admitted in your first sentence that you don't know how good Shearer was. How do you know when Carroll has reached 'Shearer's' standards if you don't know how high that standard is?  If you can't grasp such basic logic, then let's not continue!

 

I said that I didn't know how good Shearer was at 22/23. Of course I'll realise if/when Carroll as good as Shearer, as I've seen Shearer play at his peak. Read what I said originally, then look at what you are being a pedantic fool about.

 

Such a pointless discussion.

 

Now you've gone and confused yourself. First you say that you don't know how good Shearer was in Southampton/Blackburn and now you're claiming that you know how good Shearer was at his peak. Well many would correctly argue that Sharer was at his peak during his Blackburn years + Euro 96 hence the then world record transfer fee. Make up your mind man! I'm not being pedantic, you're just contradicting yourself and not making much sense. 

 

alpal is 100% correct. shearers peak was pre-NUFC due to the injuries he sustained later - had he never had them and signed for us we'd have won the title imo as a 100% alan shearer at 26/27 would have been unstoppable

 

as it is we have to look back on what he did at blackburn and lament - he was quite simply the perfect english striker - carroll will never come close colocho, sorry as much as you hate MA, he simply will never come close to a young shearer

Poll reset.

 

At first glance, seems pointless...

 

But then...

 

No he shouldn't as he's not good enough.

(Tooj - I was in the same camp, to be fair.  Hindsight is a bitch.)

On second thoughts I don't even want to post it. I'm not that much of an arsehole. It's pretty obvious if you know the area.

 

And about not having any footballer type houses in the village, theres a house there bought by a sheik for his white mistress he impregnated and then paid off. There are some stupidly expensive houses in South Wylam

I know there are some big expensive houses especially in South Wylam but not ones that I would personally associate with footballers - that's all I meant.

After the military I crossed straight over the top of the A69 to take the narrow road down to Wylam - which is near where my place is. The big house I saw was on my left just after you make the turn off the military road onto that narrow road that eventually takes you down to the large roundabout.
