x3 be delighted to get rid - wihooo
Whenever I feel a little sick over the 35 Million we paid for Carroll (bearing in mind we get 15Million back from WH) I think about the 8 million we paid for Coutinho and all seems right again with the world. 8 MILLION!!! I mean WTF!!!!! 😀
Now who could we buy for £35m.....I know, some chap called Andy Carroll.
According to SSN Newcastle have no interest in signing him.
I'd take 15m&ms
boo hisss.
Essentially, we paid 20 million for 11 goals.
That too.
Fit and on form and in the right team he is easily worth 20M
Sadly too many caveats... 15M is a good/fair deal...
35M was an appalling deal.

Andy Carroll could be out until August with heel injury
Striker Andy Carroll could be out until the start of the new season with the heel injury that forced him out of England's two post-season friendlies.
The 24-year-old, who spent last season on loan at West Ham from Liverpool, fell awkwardly in the Hammers' final game of the season.
Although no surgery is required Carroll could be out for at least three months.
It is understood the injury will not jeopardise Carroll's proposed move from Liverpool to West Ham.
The clubs agreed a fee in the region of £15m, but the Hammers' top scorer has yet to decide whether he wants to join the east London club on a permanent basis.
Carroll was signed by Kenny Dalglish from Newcastle and moved to Liverpool on transfer deadline day in January 2011, for what remains a record fee for a British player of £35m.
The centre forward joins Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Arsenal's Jack Wilshere on the sidelines for England's matches against the Republic of Ireland on 29 May and Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on 2 June.

Hammers fans will not be happy if he turns them down. He must be hanging on for a bigger club. £35 million was ridiculous but he is a much better player than most on here give him credit for. If would have been interesting to see what he could have done with us if coached
Coached? Sorry but that is bollocks.
Also, It's no surprise he takes so long to recover from injuries.
You cannot perform as a top class athlete with a lifestyle like that.

He doesn't need to be coached. He needs to be trained, like a dog.
That's why Rodgers gave up on him, because he doesn't train, he educates.
Carroll needs someone like Gary Mac walking him around with a leash and giving him a tight yank every now and then. Since we don't have that, we're better off letting him loose to hurt himself elsewhere.

I'd day it's more to do with playing quick one touch football and relying on technical ability, movement & intelligence to open up defences.
Non of which would suit Andy Carroll in any way, shape, form or manner.
Why in ducks name anyone would prefer to play him in our central role upfront ahead of Suarez & Sturridge when the pair are shitting goals is beyond comprehension.
The only thing more ridiculous would be playing outside or in the No 10 position instead of Coutinho.
That or the suggestion we should keep him for the famous "plan B" that no football team actually has.

whenever I think of carroll I think of cavani, we could have bought him for less at the same time...
Is that right?
Sh!t. 😡
Sh!t. 😡
I have no 'evidence' but I recall at the time we were linked with him and he had not yet 'made' it this big - 35m POUNDS should have been more than enough for him.
