KaKa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, still need a presence up top, as we currently do not have one striker that is a strong, back to the goal, hold up player. Lassoga would have been that sort, but we didn't seal the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 loads of media vans outside st james...sky vans with satalite dishes on top etc. Might be to do with the 2 fans dying possibly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 loads of media vans outside st james...sky vans with satalite dishes on top etc. Probably to do with the blokes that died in the plane disaster, reporting on the memorial around Sir Bobby statue. edit: What Neesy said.

Hughesy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Lacazette signing an extension at Lyon. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-uniteds-hopes-signing-alexandre-7453098 But to make everyone feel better here is a rehashed article on why signing him would be potentially a waste of time. http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/07/04/ag-used-poorly-lacazette-could-be-a-terrible-signing-for-newcasl/ That just says that his club want him to sign an extension, doesn't mean he will. Supposedly Liverpool are after him or Remy and so are we according to Ryder. We won't get either. Keep reading that article so that the words 'used' and 'poorly' are adjectives. Puts a new spin on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Seems to be a bit of a buzz elsewhere for Andy Carrol to return. Anything in it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Seems to be a bit of a buzz elsewhere for Andy Carrol to return. Anything in it? Would surely be better options for the money he would cost. I don't think he would be fit enough to lead our line. Regardless I think he would do a great job for us again if fit. That said, playing devils advocate here is Remys injury record that much better. Obviously he is a far superior player but would Remy ever be injury free enough to score more than 10-15?

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Seems to be a bit of a buzz elsewhere for Andy Carrol to return. Anything in it? Twitter bollocks as far as i can tell, or rumors spreading as a result of twitter bollocks anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They'd want a good amount back of the 15 million they paid Liverpool for him, and his wages are allegedly pretty high. Toss in his injury problems, and I just can't see us going for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 No sign of him yet in West Ham's pre-season so that is probably another reason for the rumours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It'd be more convenient if he was front & centre of West Ham's pre-season, given we're following them around the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I guess Enner Valencia. I thought it was £12m though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Valencia fee is nearing the £15m mark last I heard, crazy stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
