nbthree3 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Lee must have discovered that very recently because 3 hours ago an article came out mentioning that he was leaving! https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bringing-competition-demanding-more-goals-20770734 "But with Andy Carroll leaving, and a real lack of goals when Callum Wilson is absent from the side, starting the new season without a new striker is not something United can really afford to do." Losing Andy Carroll is a blow - not in terms of the player himself but his style of play and the impact such a player can have from the bench. It won't be easy to replace him, but Newcastle certainly need to look to bring in someone who puts himself about, is good in the air and can frighten defences late on in games. Ideally, whoever it is will of course avoid injury and be available for more games but without a doubt, Carroll has to be replaced. His experience was also key - a man who can lend advice to the young remembers of the dressing room whilst also making sure everyone knows what it means to play for the club, it's something else Bruce has to consider when looking for a replacement.

Everybody knows that Ashley was never going to spend fuck all whilst this plays out. Has no indication of anything at all, this was always the case. He didn’t do it in January when relegation was a distinct possibility, so why would he do it now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told at the weekend Ashley expected the takeover to be done within a month and that he had told the buyers to have their funds in place ready for it. That's way before the transfer window shuts, so why are we tying ourselves to Carroll and wasting a squad place so soon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Regardless of how it's assembled, ultimately we require a squad of players for next season, and retaining Carroll on his peppercorn wage is extremely low risk as far as everyone is concerned. The only reason why we'd offer him another deal is because we don't want to find and spend money on a replacement. I fail to see how that provides a clear indication either way with regards to the takeover. It's a demonstration of one of two polarising attitudes from Ashley: "I'm staying, so the policy continues to be 'be unambitious and invest little.'" Or "I'm leaving, so why bother investing." We've no idea which but if we believe literally every report, it's more likely to be the latter. Not that his certainty about winning the case provides that much confirmation re it actually coming to pass... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel negative about the takeover, but I certainly do not support the PL and their gangs (i.e Bein Jacobs) and take pleasure in any negative news. Unlike some people in this board seems to do.

It won‘t be easy to replace him? What?! You could sign my neighbour’s Red Setter in his place. Similar ball control and would offer more up front. I mean, fuck me. You could get the statue of Shearer on as sub instead of Carroll and the output would be the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED209 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 This is not good news. Not good news at all. Abbé they could include a takeover and your released clause in the contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It's a 1 year extension for a backup player, until the takeover goes through officially we've still got to function (if we ever have under Ashley) as a club. We're hardly going to ship everybody out and a whole new squad in should we get taken over. It'll have no baring what is happening takeover wise.

Was genuinely gutted when he did and with hindsight he'd have had such a better playing career staying here. Was a quality player then and caused problems for just about every defender we played against. Weird that for a player that never relied on pace and just had pure strength and aerial power his career went downhill so fast. Unfortunately that was all the injury problems though and not his own game style. I seem to recall reading an article where Carroll said he didn't want to leave and wasn't given a choice in the matter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
