eliassenfredrik Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Might have already been posted but.... Luke Edwards@LukeEdwardsTele I'm anticipating a cash up front offer of £12m from #nufc in next 48 hours for Andy Carroll to #lfc. No loan, just a permanent deal Also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 If Liverpool sell to someone else they have to give us 25% of the fee, is that right? If Liverpool accept this offer from us (if its true) they get to pocket the 12 million and we forget about the 25% sell on fee etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We're clearly going to get Carroll, then. Dont really need him but we'll have a pretty fearsome collection of strikers. £12m isnt great but it looks good in comparison to Fletcher, Jarvis, Henderson, Allen and - oh yeah - Carroll. If Liverpool think its a bad fee, its only going to get worse if he stays. They'll cave in because they have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealios Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Carroll playing at the level that he was at when he left us was a handful for defenders. If your defenders are pre-occupied dealing with someone like Carroll, and they will be, then a lot of opportunities fall to your other players if they are in decent attacking positions. I'm pretty sure that is why Nolan scored so many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 That Fellaini performance vs Man United has slightly altered by opinion of playing that way tbh. If we could get Carroll to hold up the ball like Fellaini was the other night, I'm happy to have him as an option up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Think what Liverpool have shown (with their latest comments via Rodger) under this regime is that there will be no more big spending as well. That is great news for the future for us if we are to rival them consistently. Sure some American said when they arrived they'll spunk a boat load at first then do nothing after that, regardless of how it pans out. It hasn't been a success and now the club have no room to move in the transfer market unless they sell first. They are begging for a £12m cash up front bid for Carroll.

Theregulars Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 to be honest at this point I just want decent players for a competitive squad. Whatever his failures/issues he's good enough to improve our squad, so I'll take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Would really rather we went for someone who can play out wide and up front, someone with a bit of pace. Really commit to the 4-3-3. Signing Carroll is the opposite of that. It'd be exciting having him back and I think he'd do well for us, but I just don't feel it's the right move for us right now.

There is a romance with having him back and taking the piss out of Liverpool financially, but I worry that he isn't the right player to fit in to that 4-3-3 system that seems to really make us cut through teams and create chances. I guess he would help our poor 4-4-2 system slightly better, but why go back to that when we clearly are more powerful when at 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
