Thespence Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 If the Hammers are after a striker they should look into getting Marlon back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Not sure how to answer the poll, shouldn't it be Accept or Decline, or Accept yes or no ? Anyway I wouldn't sell for £4M, he's a very good header of the ball, has a decent left peg and showed on Monday night he's physical enough to cope with intimidating defenders. Seems pretty honest and hard working too. The more I see of him the better I like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 No way would I sell for £4m. If we were offered twice that, 100% cash up front, and Ashley swore on a stack of bibles that we'd be allowed to spend all of that (Sod that, he'd still change his mind. Make it he's got to put the money into a seperate bank account that only Hughton had access to) and if Hughton then actually spent it wisely on a few good players in key positions (Esp the wings), then and ONLY then would I think it's a good move. Otherwise, f*** off West Ham, you snivelling cockney wankers. £8m for Carroll? You're on glue mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, f*** off West Ham, you snivelling cockney wankers. £8m for Carroll? You're on glue mate. I neither suggested he was worth it or that we'd be able to get it. I'm simply saying that at this point in time, whilst we're having a push for promotion, he's our player, is under contract and I think there's no way on earth we should sell him. Offer us silly money (ie £8m) and he can go, but offer us what he's worth (£4m perhaps?) then we should hang on to him. No way should we sell players for their market value when we're trying so desperately to get out of this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you come across as very arrogant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Not a chance, the lad is 20 years old and has enough attributes to make it worth percervering with him. Ok he hasn't set the world alight this season but he has still down well enough (imo), its crazy that some people already seem to have given up on him at TWENTY YEARS OLD! We aren't going to sign as many players as we need in the summer and the last thing we need is getting rid of the decent ones. £4m buys you fuck all these days anyway.

Yorkie Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I wouldn't sell him for owt in January. A, he's the only striker that can score for us. B, we wouldn't sign a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 It's a tough one. He's not worth £4m and I don't think we'll get a better offer for him but I wouldn't sell him just yet. He's the type of striker you need to get out of this league but he's of no use to us if we actually go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 its crazy that some people already seem to have given up on him at TWENTY YEARS OLD! I know some others have referred to this as well on here, but I find it really difficult to remember that he's only young. Always seems much older to me than he is.

In complete agreement with Midds on this. If he improved his control with his headers in terms of flick ons and the direction he heads it (not goalscoring) as well as the strength of his weak foot I could see him being a decent enough Premier Leauge Striker, the guy is still 20 years old, I think to rule him out as not good enough is very early. Also I want him to get rid of that bitching streak and going down under the smallest touch, you're 6ft 3 or whatever it is, act like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
