ponsaelius Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Footballing philosophy? I don't know who Brendan Rodgers thinks he is. He's rolling on the back of one reasonable season in the top flight. Hardly makes him the next Mourinho. Whether he's managed 5 minutes or 10 years is not the point so I'm not sure how that is relevant in the slightest. All coaches usually have a set style of play that they stick to and it's a reasonable argument that Carroll doesn't look suitable to it. He's the manager and he's got every right to ditch a player he doesn't want to work with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The same point can be made about Charlie Adam by the way. He can't run as much as his Swansea midfielders could and he loves howking the bard 40 yards up the pitch whenever he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The problem is AC Milan wont buy him after the loan deal. He is just a signing to please the fans now. One year later his value would drop even further and I don't think this will bring Liverpool any good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't run as much as his Swansea midfielders could and he loves howking the bard 40 yards up the pitch whenever he can. Wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers wants him out as well, problem is he's just been signed on a long contract and (I suppose) big wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Haha! You only get a cut of any profit we make selling him on, you know. I can't be the only one who suspects we might even end up making a small loss on the Carroll deal … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I don't think we need to be thinking about a sell-on clause, we're over the moon about the £35m we've already banked for the twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If the sell on clause is true it's pure trolling by Mike and Dekka. Wouldn't be surprised if the actual wording of the clause in the contract is 'Newcastle United will be paid 25% of any profit made following the sale of Andy Carroll lolz, no refunds kthxbai' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If West Ham are linked with Andy Carroll, I guarantee you it can only be a matter of hours before we're treated to an interview with that cock socket David Gold, standing next to his helicopter.

I don't think it'll work for Rodgers at Liverpool for a number of reasons like, but you cannot critisise him for getting rid of any of the current crop. To coin a phrase from Stu in the betting thread, "don't chase your losses", they keep on banging on about the price tag as a reason he shouldn't be let loose but that isn't going to make him perform any better, they need to forget about the £35m and do what's best now for the manager and the system.

brummie Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Anyone who sells Andy Carroll for THIRTY FIVE MILLION POUNDS and asks for a sell on clause clearly knows how to enjoy themselves in the football business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think West Ham is just about the worst club he could join in terms of his progression like, it'll suit his best attributes and allow him to be a battering ram for a year but I doubt he'll become a better footballer through it.
