Guest hobshobs Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This will be total bullshit. Why on earth would Ashley take a player back that tried to get more money out of him just after he'd agreed a new contract. Because outwith Ba we're left with s**** like Ameobi, Best and Lovenkrands who have all failed to step up to the plate since Carroll left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that, you talk about failing to step up to the plate but Best has outperformed Carroll by a country mile since Carroll left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Must be really galling for Liverpool to be handing over the reported additional (to the first 30m) payment of 5m for Carroll right about now. Can see it being a catalyst for Llambias to throw in an offer ....ie forget about the 5m you owe us and we'll give you another 10m to have him back!

Roids Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 On RAWKKK they're saying they should get Torres back if we sign Carroll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 No way. We still hv a 25% future fees clause. In that case we should only offer (10 - 5)*75%=3.75m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As much as I am against this... if he did come back and returned to the same form he was at - Ba and Carroll could be absolutely devastating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Full Sun article: KOP flop Andy Carroll has been given a £10million escape route out of Liverpool. SunSport can reveal that former club Newcastle would be willing to buy back the England striker. But for an astonishing £25m LESS than he cost the Merseysiders almost a year ago. The dramatic development comes after a top agent rang the club to offer them 23-year-old Carroll for just £20m. Newcastle flatly rejected the idea and a further proposal of £15m plus add-ons. They are prepared to offer £10m, though, for Carroll — who was a hero on Tyneside and would welcome a move back to his native North East. Newcastle refused to comment publicly but a Toon source said: "Andy's a Geordie boy and it would be great to bring him home. "But while he left on his terms he'd have to come back on ours." Carroll would have to take a massive cut to his £90,000-a-week wages () to return to Toon and finally end his Anfield nightmare. Liverpool, who face Manchester City in the Carling Cup semi-final tonight, are denying trying to off-load their record signing. But rumours of a rift with Kop boss Kenny Dalglish are rife. Carroll's career has nosedived since the £35m move, exclusively revealed in SunSport last January, which made him the most expensive British footballer in history. He was injured when he first joined Liverpool so had to wait until March to make his debut. But he has struggled to justify the huge price tag and has been totally over-shadowed at Anfield by Uruguayan star Luis Suarez. Carroll has scored just six goals in 31 games in all competitions — way off the 33 in 90 matches he notched for the Toon. He was bought to partner Suarez in the wake of Fernando Torres' £50m switch to Chelsea. But the pair have failed to hit it off — and Carroll has spent long periods on the bench. There are also rumours that Carroll's growing frustration has led to clashes with Dalglish over his role at the club. Carroll argues the team are not playing to his strengths and only Steven Gerrard provides him with the service he needs to succeed. But it remains to be seen whether he is desperate enough to call it quits so soon — and whether Liverpool would stomach such a heavy hit. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4052211/Liverpool-transfer-sensation-Newcastle-eye-10million-Andy-Carroll.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The idea of buying him for £25m less is tempting, but the fact is we can get much better players for that £10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Could definitely see Pardew being in favour of a move for Carroll, said only recently how much he likes him. Fits what seems to be his apparant preferred two powerful lads up front gameplan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
