Tooj Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I don't see what all the negativity is about. If we had the option of Carroll, Ba and Cisse it will only make us stronger. I think he would up his game if he came back here as well, still only 23. I can remember Shearer going through a really bad drought and people saying he was finished, once he got his head right he was back banging the goals in. Comparing Shearer to Carroll though.

Guest Archie Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 all right then Why arent any good clubs in for him you say... WE are in for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It really is. Its all well and good to have a debate on whether he is good enough, but the dealings of fotball is a bit more complex than " if player X is so good why arent club Y in for him" Probably 30 odd strikers only in europe good enough to bang em in for any top-4 club. Doesnt mean you can buy them all. You spend your money and make your choices! Its lazy arguing It wasn't the only argument I put though was it? If you just look through the last couple of pages you'll see a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 `West Ham are still trying to persuade Carroll to join them after having a £2m loan offer accepted by Liverpool.` offer 1.5m for 12month loan? if tthey (dekka et al) wanna penny pinch, sure that is good value. AC can easily get 12-15 goals during the season.(in all competitions). Management here seem like muppets at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We live or die on getting the best possible deal. The club has been raped so badly in the past due to upper managerial ineptitude when it comes to sales and purchases, they have gone to the other extreme. Breaking policy breaks credibility for future deals, in their eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't comparing them as players Tooj, I was comparing the situation Carroll is currently in, reminded me of a similar situation Shearer was in. Its reminds me of where Torres is at as well, I hope Torres and Andy both turn the corner like Shearer did, just not against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I would certainly not hope any Chelsea player turn the corner personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's in the press that he now wants to stay and fight for his place at Liverpool. Looks like we've ended our interest and he just doesn't want to go anywhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Probably the best scenario for us. Cost far too much for my liking, will be with a manager who clearly doesnt want him and he would have done very well at West Ham as they would have built the team around him like we did.

Jack Flash Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 He doesn't want to go to West Ham so he's stuck at Liverpool as nobody else wants him. "Carroll is not even tempted by the massive eight-year contract on offer from West Ham" Who would be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Its a good thing, we need to move from Andy. If at a later date, hes available at anywhere around 10 mill, Im sure well be in for him. We need another striker in the Bellamy, Borini, Sturridge type mould. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyman Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 He used to play for a club where he was loved. Well, that resulted in a transfer request from the big lad. Now that he plays for a club where he's not wanted, he wants to fight for his place. Aaaah. That is just too funny. He's like a woman. I don't get him.

Dave Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19075878 West Ham concede defeat in chase for Liverpool's Andy Carroll By Ben Smith BBC Sport West Ham have conceded defeat in their bid to sign Liverpool's Andy Carroll. Despite the clubs agreeing terms over a proposed £2m loan deal , the 23-year-old striker has told the newly promoted Premier League club that he has no intention of joining them. Newcastle retain an active interest in Carroll but will not pay over the odds for the man they sold for £35m in 2011. With the start of the new season less than a fortnight away, Carroll's future looks increasingly unclear. The England international continues to train with the Liverpool squad as he seeks to overcome a minor groin injury. It remains to be seen whether he plays any part in Thursday's Europa League qualifier against FC Gomel at Anfield with Liverpool going into the match with a 1-0 advantage from the first leg. Uefa rules allow a player to represent one club in the Europa League qualifying round and another in the group stages. That means Carroll could play for Liverpool during qualifying and still potentially play for Newcastle, who have secured a place in the play-offs. Newcastle remain confident that if Carroll leaves Anfield he is interested only in returning to Tyneside. Liverpool, who signed Carroll for a club record £35m in January 2011, have already turned a previous Newcastle bid to re-sign the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 this could be whats holding everything else up (anita,debuchy). we need a forward, full back, centre mid, if we get the forward for a loan fee it could well free up a bit for those others. however i can understand liverpool holding out as long as possible in the hope someone comes in with any sort of offer rather than lose face in loaning him back to us.
