Stu Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 What is their club record? Terrible move if he goes there... £7.5m for Craig Bellamy if I remember rightly. Be class if they'd bid £8m or something. Bellamy at West Ham? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be class if they'd bid £8m or something. Bellamy at West Ham? He was there a good year or 18 months. He even scored against us for them, at SJP in a 2-2 draw, the game where Carroll had them daft dreadlocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Excellent plan. West Ham spend 10m on Carroll and he resumes his crack party's with Nolan, we spend the money on someone who is actually good and Liverpool make a 25m loss 18 months after buying him. Everybody wins.

Anderson Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bellamy is there record signing according to something I read the other day, that Savio's transfer was dependent on appearance clauses etc, he only played 10 times though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Making a bid is a far way off convincing Carroll to come tbf. If there is any chance of coming home he will poo poo it imo. That said might be his best offer otherwise, they will focus their play around him and buddy Kev will mollycoddle him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent chance hed much prefer staying at Pool on silly wages playing here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Considering the poll we had before this one (around 2/3 in favour of him returning) it appears the anti-Carroll folk are far more vocal than those on the other side. FWIW I'd have Remy over Carroll based on what I've seen/heard about him but I still wouldn't be disappointed if we got Carroll as long as we don't pay over the odds. It appears people are suddenly picking and choosing when to trust the decisions of those running the club, something that hasn't happened for a while. I trust them in terms of player recruitment now but they do have a tendency to dig their heels and take the gamble of leaving us without cover at times. One day that will bite them in the arse but in terms of the personnel I'm happy to let them get on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly so, nobody wants. Would have been better with a couple of options price wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I am certainly not against Carroll coming back, in fact I would welcome him. Truly believe he would be great for us again. However I don't want him back at the expense of a pacey winger/striker that we need, or Anita, Debuchy and a CB. If he signs after those targets are bought, I am more than down. I don't think there are many on here that don't want him back if the conditions are right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Interesting move by West Ham. They are meant to be up to their eyes in debt and trying to reduce the wage bill and desperately need cover in other areas. Instead, they are preparing to throw all their budget and then some at Carroll in the belief that he will guarantee them survival. A bit of pressure on Carroll there. Probably not the best of ideas for him to team up with Nolan again either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 West Ham have stepped up their interest in Liverpool striker Andy Carroll by making a bid that could potentially break the club's transfer record. The fresh offer would see Carroll initially move on loan with a commitment to buy the 23-year-old next summer in a deal worth more than £15m. However, it is understood he does not view West Ham as a serious option. The England international's preference, should he be forced to leave Anfield, is still to return to Newcastle United. The Tyneside club, who retain a strong interest in the player, are monitoring the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
