NUFC transfer rumours in the press

[STM]

A move for Carroll would be pure sentiment. Makes no financial sense to our lot. On his day hes a beast but hes injured far too much.

[healthyaddiction]

I guess Enner Valencia.  I thought it was £12m though.

[midds]

Considering West Ham are splurging like no tomorrow, and have just bought a striker for another £15 million, maybe they're ready to move on from Carroll.

 

Which striker did they buy for £15m?

 

Enner Valencia.

[Dokko]

Valencia fee is nearing the £15m mark last I heard, crazy stuff.

[TRon]

Wow. I thought £12m was high, although I am pretty certain he will score goals. In any case, he's not the 6ft plus beast that Allardyce needs in his teams so he's no replacement for Carroll.

[Ronaldo]

To me, our signings so far this summer scream that we'll be trying for Carroll or a Carroll type as our main forward.

[Alberto2005]

Don't want Carroll back.

Yup, totally agree. Hence the bid for Lassoga earlier on.

Absolutely spot on.

[Robbo]

Fret in the air  I miss when we used to score headers

[Dokko]

A Carroll like signing would be just what we need. Not saying go for him, but a target man would be good for this setup.

 

 

[Tiresias]

Carroll would cost a fair bit still and his injury record is terrible now, would almost certainly be a waste.

[TRon]

I just can't see how a Pardew team can function without a Carroll type forward. Which should make next season interesting since I'm not convinced we are trying that hard to get one.

If we go for another striker, for fairly big money for us, and a Cabaye midfielder type. That really would indicate a change is approach, can't see it myself but it would be interesting. Then you realise Pardew's is the manager

[Ronaldo]

I'd take Carroll back. Think he'll only really excel here, and it makes Pardew's football effective.

 

Why would you want Pardew's football to be effective? All that does is prolong the misery.

 

If there was some guarantee of Pardew's imminent dismissal I'd take Carroll in a second, though. He's pretty much exactly what our 11 needs.

[TRon]

Carroll might be the right player, but he's another one who's lifestyle is wrecking his career. I think I'd rather look elsewhere and remember the good times when he was here.

[jdckelly]

I see that and I completely understand the logic but there's this part of me that would just love him to return and get back to his old form just because he's playing for Newcastle again. Doubt it however can't see Hippo Head giving up Carroll

[Mole_Toonfan]

It would but not sure Carroll is the right one, his inability to stay fit for 5 minutes at a time would greatly concern me.

[duo]

Don't want Carroll back.

Ditto - never fit for a start.

@GFN_France: Alexandre Lacazette has provisionally agreed a contract extension with Lyon. Full story: http://t.co/EFiP3pohS3 #OL

I don't but last season has proved to me there is no way he'll get sacked basically.

 

There's no way he'd last long under the type of conditions he was subjected to against Cardiff. His position will just become more and more untenable with bad results to the point he'd no longer be physically safe at SJP. He's a coward. Eventually he'd quit.

Quitting and spinning it in the media would also be his best chance at getting another job especially if he could keep the NUFC PR machine onside.

[duo]

Demba for £4.7 mil would have been worth a punt.

[Ketsbaia]

Burnley want to stay in the league though, they'll not entertain bids for Ings - even though he's only got one year left. They won't get much better and he's worth more to them than any derisory fee we'd offer.

[Teasy]

If he's Pardews suggestion then he'll have to cost very little for us to be interested, we really don't seem to value his scouting abilities, I wonder why?
