madras Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 If people want to believe the NOTW story, then take the entire story including the bit where it says we knocked back a bid from Chelsea last month. That's smells of a club desperate to sell like. we only knocked them back as an encouragment for them to buy in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Stop mentioning money ffs. I might be getting older, but far too much is based around money, I think it's time we started valuing players purely on their contribution, and not the monetary value assigned to that contribution. I couldn't give a fuck if a player is a bargain, just as much as I couldn't give a fuck if they're on 100k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Somebody provided me with a solid argument that he will 'get found out' next season. This always happens with tough tackling defensive midfielders. Never happens with strikers though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it is allowed for other teams to have good players. Every player that has a decent season doesn't end up at Barca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 it doesn't matter who the player is, or who the club is, every player has his price. We'll go nowhere as a club unless we resist bids for our better players. Carroll could be replaced and we've had plenty of good forwards at this club to prove that. We haven't had a defensive midfielder anywhere near as good as Tiote had been this season. I can't remember a better left back at this club than Enrique and I'll include the likes of Alan Kennedy and Frank Clark in that. Simpson could turn out to be our best right back since David Craig and for the last 2 seasons Coloccini has been the best central defender we’ve had since Woodgate and he’s arguably better since his injury record is miles better. If we are ambitious then we’ll tell other clubs to piss off, if we’re not then we’ll sell our players to the highest bidders and we’ll never do anything.

Cajun Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I wish we didn't always have to look at the negatives, can't we just enjoy him and make the most of him being here now? I know the Carroll sale "confirmed" the belief that Ashley is going to sell everything that's not nailed down but let's be honest, not many clubs in the world would have turned down that offer, I am one of those who said I wouldn't sell for anything btw.

midds Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Of course there will be bids. How big and who from remains to be seen but he's put himself on the 'GET' list of loads of clubs with his performances for us. Huge club are crying out for someone like him to come in do a job for them. They'll come in for him 100% certain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I would like to see that full interview, it wouldn't be in the media's interest to take some of the context away from the story I suppose? If Pardew had said he definitely wasn't for sale it would just be "he said that about Carroll!". All players have a price, I am sure Pardew is concious of the Carroll incident and wasn't saying "yeah, give us an offer" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
