SteveMc Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 My head tells me that Carroll is the worst idea. Something niggling though that makes me want him back. Romanticism? Screwing Liverpool over? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Be interesting to see how Carroll does to the end of the season. Much of the same and I can't see anyone coming in for him, maybe a free loan next year. Should he stay fit and get some goals then interest will increase, but still first half of the season shows why £17m is way out, you'd be mad to go over £12m even with a good second half to the season. Liverpool will eventually cut their losses, but it'll be around 25% of what they paid and it will kill them if its back to us. We might be their only option though, unless they want to keep loaning him out to the end of his contract and receive nothing back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Wouldn't take much for him to be a better option than Shola in a Newcastle shirt. Has his place but shouldn't be getting the game time he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I don't think the Carroll link is anything more than guesswork, maybe the leak coming from Carroll's end that he'd love to come back. I don't think we'll be in for him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a cut price? I wouldn't want him for £5m, he's no better than Graham and he was over-priced. If you are talking £7-8m then you can get the likes of Remy or Aubemyang for that, and it's a much better calibre striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might as well sign Nolan as well and turn the clock back two years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 In the summer I thought about it and said I would want him back as a plan B and I thought, like most of us did, that Pardew would go with the style we had at the end of last season and that Carroll would be a plan B. Now, it's quite obvious that he would be Pardew's plan A, and that he doesn't even have a plan B. For that reason, I don't want him and I don't want Pardew.

Stifler Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Pardew would love him like. I'm not sure I agree with that. With the new players we didn't hoof it against Villa in the first half, we did good passing play, only in the 2nd half did we hoof it when the pressure was on. I saw glimmers of him trying to change his playing stye if he can, the new players don't seem to fit in with being able to provide the type of ball Carroll would thrive on. We also have to remember that Pardew only managed Carroll for one game and the rest of the time he was injured so I'm not sure that there is a good friendship there.

Unbelievable Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Not so much the press, but I spoke to my brother in law (who is a FC Twente fan with good connections in Twente business circles) yesterday and he mentioned that the fact there has been absolutely no interest/movement regarding Douglas this past January is to do with the fact when he first moved to Europe he signed a contract with no less than seven representatives, who are all in for a piece of the pie on his next move. Apparently when his contract with FC Twente expires in the summer, so does this contractual obligation. The contract with his seven representatives is also the reason why Twente have not wanted to sell him this January as a large portion of any transfer fee would go to his agents. Twente would ideally want to offer him a new contract in the summer (without the seven agent stuff), but of course Douglas will be free to look elsewhere too. I expect a large number of clubs, us included, will have pencilled the end date of his contract with those agents as a date to give him a call. This ties in with what I've said above: http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/235391/Douglas-laat-toenadering-van-FC-Anzhi-onbeantwoord.htm Anzhi have made a move for Douglas as a Samba replacement, but he has declined the possible move because he wants to see out his contract with Twente.
