wormy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Cost =/= Value. His value to us is immeasurable. Sums it up for me. Money is nothing right now. If Ashley was prepared to reinvest the money, we wouldn't find anywhere near as good a replacement in the next 2 weeks. Even if we had more time than that, we still couldn't. I couldn't see a player of AC's current and potential ability touch us. He needs to stay for us to first of all consolidate our league status and then progress.

Guest Tall Striker Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 £40m + Bale + Modric + VDV Is that the fee for a 6 month loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 £40m + Bale + Modric + VDV Is that the fee for a 6 month loan? 3 month. We need him back for the final run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 He's like worth Eleventybillion pounds. Priceless for me. We don't have the strength in depth currently striker wise to let him go, and I couldn't see Ashley spending much of what he took in for Carroll to replace him. There is no amount of money in the world that Spurs or any other club could offer that would make me consider selling Carroll in this or the next window.

Guest rabit71 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 how much would we get for a prime fully developed carroll if he fulfills his potential? i'd sell for that much, if the money was reinvested into the team (which under fma it probably wont be so is a moot point) anyone else worried he isnt injured and ashley just wants to see how we can cope without him?

Zero Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 40m. But that's not impossible. I can see some clubs doing this summer since later such kinda mega bids will no longer be allowed under the financial balancing rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daveaha Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not for sale. But again, looking at how Ashley runs the club, we may see him being sold at 20mil quid.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not for sale. But again, looking at how Ashley runs the club, we may see him being sold at 20mil quid.... Well, I'm kind of split on this the more I think about it. 1) Ashley's not really "asset stripped" or attempted to sell everyone off at cut rate prices, as many feared he would. Given is the only player I can think of who went for well below anyones estimated value, and even then there were extenuating circumstances, so I'm not ready to level the "asset stripper" label at Ashley. 2) Ashley's not really been in possession of an asset like Carroll yet - one which could easily fetch £15m+ - so his resolve hasn't been tested. Is he interested in keeping our best players to help push the club forward? If he did sell would he reinvest? If it's the latter I don't think he'd let him go for peanuts. As for pocketing the cash - I think Ashley's not planning on recouping his investment from primarily player sales; it seems to me he's trying to drive down the running costs via the wage cap so that merch+tv+gates cover it and he'll pocket whatever's left over, with player sales and whatever he wants to put back in funding the transfer kitty. I also think, without evidence I must admit, that he still wants out but has learned to keep from saying things like that in public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 let's be honest with ashley in charge it's a matter of when, not if for carroll good thing from our point of view is that citeh just bought dzeko and berbatov is performing for manyoo so really that leaves chelski and spurs - hopefully meaning it's a good season or two before bids become a reality, from chelski at least redknapp is a total cunt like, so it may be sooner rather than later - if they have 30m to spunk on carroll i don't think ashley will hold out myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6667238,00.html Redknapp Rules out Carroll Spurs boss has no plans to bid for Magpies striker Last updated: 17th January 2011 Harry Redknapp has moved to distance Tottenham from reports linking them with a move for Andy Carroll. The Newcastle striker continues to see his future called into question at regular intervals, with Spurs rumoured to be leading the hunt for his signature. It is claimed that a £30million bid is in the pipeline, with Tottenham prepared to test the resolve of their Premier League rivals in the coming weeks. Redknapp, though, insists there are no such plans in place, with Spurs unwilling to break the bank during the January transfer window. He admits to being an admirer of Carroll, who has stepped up into the senior England fold this term, but has played down any talk of an imminent approach being made. "He's a good player, he's a handful, you'd like to have him in your team," Redknapp said. "But we are nowhere near getting Andy Carroll. How much is he? You are talking £30million to 40million."

ExiledGeordie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 That prick Darren Lewis was on talksport this morning going on about how why wouldn't we sell Carroll for 30m if we were offered it as if it logical. Why don't you atleast do a little research and consider the fact of how much it would cost to replace him and find a goal scorer of his calibre, how much of an effect it might have on season ticket sales for next season if you sell your marquee local lad of a player and how much it would cost the club if we sold him and went down.

Colocho Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yes, he's a very promising player, but if someone came in with a £35m+ bid, we'd have to consider it. Could build a top-six team imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The money wouldnt be re-invested though. It would be pissed up the wall in Aspers by our fat cunt owner. Can't sell a 21 year old international and for him not to be replaced, which unfortunately would be the case. Anyhow, why the fuck hasn't anyone had a word with Redknapp and told him to stop doing this with players. Oh I know...the FA lick his arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well the truth is that most of the money would go to servicing our general running costs and debts, and possibly a small amount would be used on players. Whether or not that's acceptable I don't know, I'm just sticking to the line that he's not for sale at any price. We shouldn't even be listening to offers, it might get too tempting!

prefabtoon Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 We should not give the sale of AC A minutes thought, When will the next local lad whois fit to wear the number 9 come along, Probably not in my life time, It would be like selling your son or daughter.

Now quit talking about it. I briefly had Talksport on this morning for the headlines (ie one of the few bits where they're not blatantly wumming) and they said 'Talksport can exclusively reveal that Andy Carroll is not for sale.'. Er... "It's been going on and on, it's ridiculous, we've said he's not for sale," Pardew told Sky Sports. "He's not for sale, how many times does it have to be said? They can put together whatever they like. He is not for sale. "I am going to say it one last time, he is not for sale," he reiterated. Exclusive.

cp40 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Just seen on SSN saying we are asking 30-40 millio and they are nowhere near that. If any of this istrue- at least Ashley is looking at Carols worth to us when valueing him, cos at 20 mil imo- your just giving him away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Tbh 20 million for Carroll is fucking ludicrous, but in our circumstances we realy cannot afford to let him go, even for the silly prices been bounced about in the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Redknapp knows even a £40m bid is likely to be turned down, he's got no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If he was at club with a better pool of talent, and and actual selection of half decent strikers howerver, he'd probably go for less than 20 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
