Klaus Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If it is true about his lifestyle (big drinker etc) that cannot have helped his constant injury problems. Good player on his day as well, class goal against Swansea this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Out for two months - he's had no luck with injuries at all. Since he left us, this is his league goals record 2 (half season), 4, 7, 2, 5 Shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Think he strung together a record 10 games or something a few weeks ago in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It's a shame because his game actually looks to be coming along when he does play. He does seem to be improving as a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 20 league goals since he left us in January 2011 Transfer fees of £50 million Wages of £80,000 per week Meaning he's cost £3.33 million per goal and that is obviously constantly rising right up until August!

Guest n4e Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 And yet every transfer window there's always a few saying we should be back in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yep, fuck him. He was a Geordie number 9 playing for Newcastle and thought there was something better, which, as a Geordie (ish) Newcastle fan, I can't understand. I don't mind being pellets for harbouring that opinion. I wish it had gone differently, but it went the way it went and I harbour no sympathy for the comparatively forgettable career he's having. Not that he can help being injured all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I don't think he's 100% blameless for leaving TBH but it is the reality of football. Feel sorry for anyone who is constantly injured, must be a nightmare. I don't known if his lifestyle is a factor but he seems like a fairly genuine lad overall and I'd rather see him play than not.

Yorkie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm not in the business of championing our transfer policy - ins or outs - but I've not seen sufficient evidence to conclude that he was forced into handing in a transfer request. He and the club both chased the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and the club both chased the money. He's said that he was. Lambias has also been quoted as telling the story in a completely different way as to what was presented at the time. Then there's the way that Barton and Santon's transfers have been revealed. Sure there are others that don't come to mind at the moment. I think Carroll was either naive or talked into it, but I don't believe for a second that it was him pushing for a move, not now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The truth is definitely somewhere in between. Of course he wanted the money/prestige. But the club isn't blameless either. Both parties are to "blame" in this situation. It was a situation that benefited everyone involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He wanted to leave and the club were happy to cash in on him for such a mental fee. I just find the notion that poor Andy was forced into signing that 90 grand a week contract at Liverpool utterly ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
