That makes me extremely happy

That's the level of urgency I expect us to be showing in pushing this deal through, bye Andy thank fk for that.
Oh well, good luck Andy. Perhaps he's been a bit of an unprofessional type, going on the piss, or maybe it's just been more publicised because of his minor reputation, whatevers. There's clearly a good centre forward in there who at his best can be unplayable, but maybe doesn't suit a one touch, quick movement game. He'll serve them well, might still make a big career of it yet, and will probably destroy us at some point to prove a point.
It's not his fault we paid the money, I bet he wishes it never happened, at least in terms of his career ultimately going backwards, but anyway. I wish him well.
Is Anfield Cat our new CFO?
If that Joe Kinnear bloke who opens doors to all managers hijacks the move with a 25m bid, I promise I'll never poke fun at him for the rest of his career.
I liked Andy.
I'm sad it didnt work out. Good luck to the lad.
Andy Carroll is expected to have a medical tonight as West Ham prepare to tie up his move in a deal which could cost them £46million.
Amid late interest from Newcastle, the striker flew back from a holiday in the United States last night to agree a contract with West Ham reported to be £100,000 a week for six years.
The Hammers had already agreed a club record £15m fee with Liverpool, who have taken a big loss on the deal after paying Newcastle a British record £35m for the striker just two and a half years ago.
In view of his previous injury problems, Carroll was due to undergo an extensive medical and the deal could be finalised as early as tomorrow.
Should the 24-year-old see out his contract then he will cost the club £31m in wages but West Ham have decided to make that commitment after his impressive season on loan, scoring seven goals in 25 Premier League appearances.
Manager Sam Allardyce made signing Carroll permanently his priority during the close season and will be delighted the deal is close to being finalised after extensive talks.
Allardyce wants at least one more striker following the departure of Carlton Cole and has been linked with Tottenham’s Emmanuel Adebayor.
In view of the finance involved in the Carroll transfer, though, it is thought likely the Upton Park club would only be interested in a loan deal for Adebayor.
West Ham are expected to sign Stockport midfielder Danny Whitehead after the teenager impressed on trial last season while striker Robert Hall is wanted by Bolton and Nottingham Forest.
He might fail to make it to the medical.
