Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well we can't turn down £35m imo, it's that simple, we'll stop up - I hate Ashley but it would've been insane to turn that amount down, now he MUST get someone else in, work like fuckin arabs to get someone in 8 hours and counting.

Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The money wont be re-invested, and even if a slice of it was (probably 10 mil max) we wouldnt get anywhere near the quality of Carroll, we will end up with Shola as number 9 IMO. This is probably all bullshit anyway, Sky are desperate for this story to be true, theres no hard facts yet, just (SOURCES) david craig can suck a dick.

Guest Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 He shouldn't be sold for any price. A big strong battering ram of a Geordie leading the line for the next 10 years and scoring goals, or give it up for what averages at 3.5m per season.

Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The way I look at it is he's now got no excuse to spend £30m+ in the summer, none at all. We don't know 100% it won't be reinvested, we could sign 3 top players with this money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Do you honestly believe he's going to re-invest it within these last few hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The way I look at it is he's now got no excuse to spend £30m+ in the summer, none at all. We don't know 100% it won't be reinvested, we could sign 3 top players with this money. In all honesty it is good money for a player who it is less than guaranteed will make the step up. For me he is still an excellent prospect, but that's about it. However it seems that the club has been giving signals that they were willing to talk money regarding a poss transfer this window and have been for a couple of weeks (since Harry started telling his drinking buddies about their bid), the question remains that if this is the case they must have ideas about a replacement knowing the fallout that will inevitably come. I seriously think that the relegation battle will be on if we are to go on without Carroll who has been all over the pitch and a real lightning rod in many games. As a purely business deal you have to say that this is quite close to the price ceiling for a player who in all reality isn't super-gifted and has some psychological baggage. I can only imagine that if he carries on improving the price would have increased but to no more than 40m and in the summer without time pressure who would fork that out? Think we are in these big figures cause Liv (have money from Torres) and Spurs are desperate. The real pain is that Carroll being a local lad had a reall connection with the club and a fighting spirit that came with that. In that sense he is irreplaceable. Sad day if this goes through (and it looks like it might). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Do you honestly believe he's going to re-invest it within these last few hours? I don't know. THIRTY FIVE MILLION POUNDS. £35,000,000. Look at it. £35m for a player many predicted wouldn't score 8 goals this season just 5 months ago. £35M KEEP LOOKING AT IT. We' have taken 10m 5 month ago that's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think it sends out a negative statement that we're a selling club. I also think we won't replace him adequately. Either by not spending money or not being able to attract quality players, through reasons like poor wages and selling our best players to mid-table rivals.

It does, I said that before it happened, but none of us are under any illusions that's what we are. It's too much money to turn down ffs, 7th highest transfer fee in the history of the world's biggest sport for someone who has in total scored 14 top flight goals, look at it rationally. I hate Ashley but I'm not slating him for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8954 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Don't want him to go, wish the bid had come in earlier, but you cannot turn down £35m for a player like Andy Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offer is in EXCESS of £35m, so it could be 37s, where is the cut off point where you say AYE we need to accept that like? £35m was for me, less for some like Craig.

GafferTape 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Quite simply won't be reinvested well enough, so no. Price is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Close to £40m, I believe. Rejected anyway. If Ashley is backing Pardew to the extent that he's rejecting £40m offers to keep Carroll at the club, I will be very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What a bunch of stupid cunts Sky look right now, just goes to show you cant take anything they say seriously, I suspected this was bullshit to be honest.

maggiespaws 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Quite simply won't be reinvested well enough, so no. Price is irrelevant. Is the right answer. If I thought we'd replace Carroll and use the rest of the cash to strengthen the squad elsewhere, £35-40m for a unproven player like Carroll would be far to good to turn down. I dont want him to go, but if I could believe the above I could handle it. Selling him in the final hours of the window is fucking madness though. We'll have Shola, Best and Lovelyhands to keep us up. Shola leading the line? We're fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaulkinTheTimes Don't have any official confirmation from the #NUFC end about the size of fee rejected, but no suggestion that talks have ended ... He's going, we're doing a Luque on them.
