yep thats top of my worries at the moment

Errr aye, we know this. No one is saying he was manipulated into going. He was happy to go, and happy to submit a request to smooth things over here. Actually I am saying he was manipulated into going. Once we got to where we were today he was happy to go along with the coreography-but I doubt he was behind it I don't think he would have gone without the club teeing the transfer up. But I think once it was all put in place he was happy enough to go. So he's gone from delighted to stay at Newcastle to delighted to be going to Liverpool. Have you just got him down as some happy-clappy divvy not arsed where he plays? Read what I've just posted. Fucking hell man, I don't even know what point you're trying to make. What I've just posted sums up what I'm saying on it. Just trying to understand the positions people are taking and what they're based on. No point to make really, other than i look like a tit for being sure he would stay. I actually think I'm going to wake up tomorrow and think we've mugged Liverpool. I think there has got to be a fair chance he's going to piss his career up he wall. Also a significantly more than zero probability that Liverpool is the worst possible city for him to go to. Theres going to plenty of scousers willing to have a go. With any luck it will all go horribly wrong

Mind you if Kenny Daglish's ability to buy a good striker is the same as he showed when he was here then Carrols career is fucked. Guivarche, Anderson, Saha, Disco Des....

Have you just got him down as some happy-clappy divvy not arsed where he plays? Thats pretty much what I think - respect for the beautiful topical use of divvy

And he's fucking right. Worst part of all of this is that the club persuaded him to submit the transfer request so they could waive the termination / signing on fee. Trying to make him look like the cunt when in reality its all them and nothing will disaude me on that. Wouldn't be surprised if they told him "look we're selling you anyway, might as well go with a bit of dignity and let it look like you were ambitious". These cunts would sell their grannys man. Worse still, they have us all dangling by puppet strings making approaches for players on loan they know damned well are not going to accept their paltry wages offer. Sooner these cunts go the better. I'd happily see them pocket the £35m if it meant them fucking off in the summer. I don't see how him putting a request in makes him look like a man with dignity tbh. I think it was a much more friendly request than that. They needed Carroll to put the request in. Well its not like Carrol sat down at his bureau- got out his best basildon bond and his favourite parker, and starting pouring his heart out in letter form. His agent will have told him its a done deal, you just get more money if you sign this bit of paper - Ill type it out for you son You're agreeing with me, right? I'm not disagreeing I think Ashley his agent and Liverpool will have got everything in place, his agent will then have convinced him it was a done deal, he would earn loads more money big signing on fee and turned his head and then told him to sign the transfer request as the deal was happening anyway. Carrol's not going to be winning Mastermind anytime soon, he's only a young daft kid -wouldn't be hard to get him talked into this. I imagine he's had a fair amount of pressure over this. Still think he is a cunt for going, but it's Ashleys fault Aye I think this is exactly what's happened. I said similar earlier about how easy it would be to talk him into signing the transfer request. His head would be spinning at the thought of his new wages, what's a transfer request between friends, etc. It is what you're saying. What did Saggy face say exactly on SSN? He said: "I've had a good laugh this afternoon watching stuff coming out of Newcastle about how they didn't want to sell him, how hard they've fought to keep him, they've pulled out all the stops, and he's handed in a transfer request but they've battled it all the way. My god. Every time they sell a player, one of these clubs, they make the player put in a transfer request to make it look like they didn't want to sell him." Makes it sound like the selling club has actively touted the player freely round clubs for the last 4 weeks. The buying clubs do all the work in the window not the selling clubs. He tries to make out we are desperate to sell him. In this scenario the player doesnt go for nearly £40m. Its just as likely he was tapped up in Dubai and Ashley has sold him at his 'price' which all players have. Why the convoluted explanation of the transfer request? He wanted to gan and the club has milked the price. I think everybody has got what they wanted - I do think Carrol could have been as easily persuaded into being happy staying as he was happy to be going

But I think once it was all put in place he was happy enough to go. I think we are agreeing here, but I do think people are underestimating how much the people around him would be able to convince him what he wants. He's a young drunken Geordie idiot surrounded by sharks. These people are used to hard negotiating involving deals worth millions, he's used to drinking 12 pints half a bottle of tequila and hoying up in Blu Bamboo

His advisor would to busy wanking into a bag of cash to worry what the fans would be thinking

Having just signed a lucrative new contract, him coming through the youth system is irrelevant. Unless you think he negotiated his contract himself? Forcing the player to hand in a transfer request only works when the player wants to go. Am i getting you wrong in thinking that Carroll didnt want to go and did the club a favour by handing a PR 'kick in his own pods' request in? Nah I think he is young and daft enough to be manipulated into what people with a lot to gain wanted to happen. I don't know his agent is, but he has just got himself one hell of a payday. Ashley has got what he wanted, and all scousers are cunts*. I don't think for a minute Andy Carroll did this off his own bat. *Apart from my nephew Jake - he's not a bad lad

Your doing the team you love a favour Andy -you'll be getting loads more money at Liverpool anyway- Carroll "oh aye gan on then" Yup. You're going anyway, Andy. Do your team mates a favour - they don't need the fans turning on the club and the manager. Think of the lads in that dressing room. Piece of piss. Isn't his new contract about 2 months old anyway - The cunts probably gave him the contract so he wasn't long enough into it for the loyalty bonus to kick in.

Damn fucking sight better than if we don't

Hopefully they spot a pub - fancy a swifty, somebody nicks his phone - things get tasty. 24 hours in chokey. Everybodies happy

Hmmmm....... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ool/9377256.stm double hmmmm Chelsea will return with an improved £40m offer for Fernando Torres with the Premier League champions hopeful of closing the deal before Monday's transfer deadline after the striker told Liverpool he wants to leave. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/ja...-torres-chelsea

This has a horrible ring of Woodgate about it.

Prego

I've listened to the interview - I thought it was pure Partridge. He actually said "Many have drunk at the well we dug" ffs

Foul? fuck off man, hes going down before he's even touched him this brings us back to tiotes sending off, is ferguson in full control with both legs off the ground? He's jumping out the way, the big nancy

Shepherd will be replacing Keys - shirley

Keys comes out looking worse ino, he comments come across as proper nasty women hating stuff. Trying too hard to be one of the boys. I have to confess I have said "do me a favour love" to mrs spongebob so many times in the last couple of days she has cracked and reporting to physical violence. "Calm down love its only a bit of banter" didn't seem to help

Exactly

Precisely and such a shock when you discover this. Having a son is like having a dog who can recite comedy sketches, having a daughter is to enter a bizarre and terrifying world of emotional manipulation and madness
