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


Recommended Posts

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.

 

I've been saying to my Liverpoool supporting mate that I can see Adam getting ditched straight away. I'd also build the team around Aquilani.

"I am not aware of any talks between ourselves or Liverpool over Andy Carroll.

 

"But that's not to say we don't have an interest should he become available."

 

That makes no sense whatsoever. He seems to suggest he knows what the manager wants, but doesn't know if there have been talks. Which one is the manager again?

as far as he knows, there's been no talks. if he becomes available they might be interested. makes sense to me

I don't even want Andy Carroll for footballing reasons. I just can't get the image of us roaring about on a pair of Harleys out of my head.

Andy & Big Sam patrolling the highways together. Wow. We'd look like Reno Raines & Bobby Sixkiller from the sensational TV smash 'Renegade'.

Dalglish placed his entire tenure and reputation on Carroll. He ended up falling largely because of Carroll's failure.

 

It was his systematic demolition of NUFC teams finally biting him square on the arse. That is one thing that you must be thankful to Carroll for.

sure as s***, Gold pipes up.

 

Id take him back for £10 million if he took a pay cut.

 

Move Cisse out on the wing then? Can't see where Carrol would play

 

We need a squad, more than just a first XI.  Not every player, like Cisse, will play every game.  Even if Ba stays, I do not see us offering him the contract he wants, so I reckon Ba will be gone within the two years he has left.  Other than that we just have Shola.

 

Carroll is still young, our other strikers are all at least five years older.

 

If we would offer £10 million plus a £40-50K per week contract to De Jong I do not see why we could not do the same for Carroll.  If Liverpool do want rid he will be like an Adabayor on wages too high for anyone to match and probably unwilling to drop to a lower salary.

 

Appreciate he is a Judas to many, but we brought Beardsley back from Liverpool and that worked out fine for everyone.

 

I just reckon if he is willing to take a lower salary, and Liverpool are happy to write off a huge loss, we should try and take advantage.  There would be opposition aye, but if he was to score a few goals wearing number 8 people will love him again.

 

Cant see Carroll coming back though.

I think Carroll's failure was Dalglish's fault, he played all kinds of formation and tactics, yet none of them suited Carroll, he virtually never played Downing in the same game, the only winger he had, not even on the pitch when you have a striker who needs crosses.

 

The genius of KKK, too right what he did to us came back to bite him on the arse, then again i always thought he was a absolute useless cunt of a manager and person to boot.

Maybe because De Jong has a much higher ceiling than Carroll, actually can play in more than 1 position and actually fits the system we want to play  :jesuswept:

 

De Jong also has a much deeper floor.  Unknown whether would thrive outside Holland.

 

I appreciate our style of play has moved on, but if Carroll is available for a knock down fee you can be sure Mike and Dezza will be sniffing around.

Odd quotes from Pards.. maybe we retain an interest... or maybe we have a 1st option?  Can`t see the point of him coming here for a year, will he get games...yes, but he needs to be a starter wherever he goes and I can`t see him working with Cisse.

 

"There is a lot of talk about players when new managers go in and their situations get all cloudy," he told Sky Sports News HD.

 

"I don't think that's completely resolved, one way or the other. I wouldn't really like to comment.

 

"He did an absolutely terrific job here. I have always supported him while he has been at Liverpool when other people weren't. I thought he got a bit of a raw deal, if I'm honest.

 

"I think he's going to be a great player, but where he treads the boards, so to speak, we will have to wait and see."
