Big Andy - good riddance (deal confirmed)

[KopKing]

I'm glad to see the back of him mainly because as long as he was our player he was a constant source of ridicule from just about everyone because of the price tag. We took a big hit but it isn't as bad as it seems. We paid £57m for him and Suarez and at the very least, we're even. Another way of looking at it is we sold him for £17m and bought Sturridge for £12m and his (Sturridge's) value has probably doubled.

PA saying it was 1 mill loyalty bonus seeing as he didnt ask for a transfer.
Thought it would be much worse than that.

"PA" ?

What's "PA" ??

 

[Rosco]

Press association.

It's probably wrongly described as a loyalty bonus

He's Duncan Ferguson with a pony tail.

That's generous. Dunc was a good player.

Exactly.

Good riddance Andy, I hope you had the time of your life.

You can't beat the use of arbitrary accounting methodology to downplay almost criminal levels of wastefulness.

Haha can't believe Lewy's turned up again. This ended up in nuts and they said it was from somewhere in Poland

Liverpool agreed to pay Andy Carroll in excess of £1million to pave the way for his Anfield exit.

The England striker joined West Ham in a £15.5m switch earlier this week despite interest from former club Newcastle.

Carroll has signed a six-year deal at Upton Park following a season-long loan spell but only after weeks of deliberation.

Liverpool were so keen to free up some of their budget for new arrivals that they offered Carroll the money to supplement his £100,000-a-week wages.

Carroll's move represents a £19.5m loss for Liverpool after they paid Newcastle £35m for his services in January 2010.

He scored 11 goals in 58 games for the Reds but Brendan Rodgers made it clear that he did not feature in his plans when he took over at Anfield last summer.

The nine-cap England international, 24, netted seven goals in 24 games on loan at Upton Park last season.

Whatevs as long as he's gone.

Hey @Rosco please lock this thread, I hate being reminded of him.

 

[Modo]

High or drunk? Or both?
I'm glad he's not our problem any more.

 

[Hansern]

Ha! Saw that earlier.

 

[Markeh]

I cant think of a footballer that gets photographed as much completely shitfaced

 

[Rosco]

I'm sorry you're just going to have to live with seeing old dead threads float to the top of the forum until Binny learns where the new thread button is.

We can't lock every old thread on the forum.

 

[Ryan]

Hey Binny - what stats exist on Carroll's time at Liverpool?

It'd be great to know how we performed with him in the side Vs without him.

And anything else you think might be interesting.

Cheers buddy! Just stick them in here too, be easier to collate all in the one place.

What's binny got to do with this?

Ironically it was Modo that asked for the thread to be locked.
