ChezGiven 0 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Don't want us to pay 15mill for Andy Carroll for the simple reason that he's not that good. Also we don't have the players to feed him what he needs. We have become adept at the pointless floated ball to the back post which he is quite suited to tbf.

RobH 0 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 We aren't adept at it. We're adept at floating it into areas which are completely ineffectual no matter who is there. My point was more that we don't own either a true winger to get to the byline or a strong crosser from deep like Barton used to do when Carroll was tearing it up. I don't want to go back to that style either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah two crack 'proper wingers' and then it's a different omlette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3809 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I actually think we are going to buy a good few players this summer most of whom will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 32713 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd have him back just to see if it could put a dent in Stevie Taylor's perma-shark grin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmondTUTU 0 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 He'd fit in lovely just behind cisse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30221 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 He's not worth £15m. He was shite at Liverpool and injury prone at West Ham. It's simply too risky. Though I can see the club wanting him back but for less than the £15m quoted and on reduced wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30221 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 That's a good way to look at it actually, kind of like we've loaned him out for a few years for a £20m fee. No it isn't, what we sold him for is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So Liverpool went from a strike force of Torres and N'gog, to Suarez and Sturridge via Andy Carroll and all told it only cost them £800k.... Bought Carroll -£35m Suarez -£22.8m Sturidge -£12m Total -£-69.8m Sold Torres +£50m Carroll +£15m N'gog +£4m Total £69m Good business tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Not really. They could have the same strike force and £20mil in the bank without the Carroll fiasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Not really. They could have the same strike force and £20mil in the bank without the Carroll fiasco Not really, the Carroll price agreed with Newcastle was the Torres price minus £15m.

Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 You don't actually buy that do you Total spin to try and reduce the flak from blowing £35mil on a shite player. He's injured for 4 months again btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30221 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Carlton Cole is going on a free, he's pretty much like Andy Carroll, except with none of the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Newcastle are understood to have inserted a 25 per cent sell-on clause into the £35m deal that took Carroll to Anfield in January 2011. Cheeky £3.75m on the deal for us. Would people be interested in us hijacking the deal at £11.25m? EDIT: In my view he's a woman beating monkey of a bloke and we're well rid of the likes of him and Ranger. That said, he's been out of trouble since leaving the area. The question mark is whether he would stay out of bother once he got back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalrus 0 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 No way there's a sell on clause on the full selling price. It'll be on any profit made on the deal, which is quite clearly going to be non-existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10684 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Newcastle have stated they're not interested in Andy Carroll. I'd only have been positive about a move for him if he were the 3rd striker on our books, which blatantly isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
