We didnt turn it down mate, Carroll rejected it.
It's not his fault carroll is fucking garbage and cost £35M is it?
He made it clear he did want him, which has surely reduced our bargaining position when we do decide to sell him.
We never had a bargaining position though, anyone who watched any football last season knew he wasn't wanted and would never be worth what we paid.
Eh?
Last season we had a manger who signed him and then defended him at every opportunity.
New manager comes, say he Caroll has to prove himself.
Then BR says he would be a "nutcase" to let the player go out on loan.
Then sends him out on loan.
He was barely played though, was he?
Scores, then dropped and didn't play consistently well even under the guy who bought him.
^^^ This guy gets it
Christ what a disaster that signing has been, it ruined multiple careers in one go
I think Carroll will end up playing a lower division, he clearly doesn't have the pace movement or dedication to make it in the top flight. The fact is he had a great spell for 5 months and we misjudged him terribly. There is usually a striker or two each season that come from nowhere to have a good 6/7 months but nobody is daft enough to make them a record breaking transfer, except us.
We will struggle to find a club willing to take him on permanently and probably end up taking a huge loss on him and paying a percentage of his wages just to get him out the fucking door

Not sure why Rodgers was so keen to get rid of him. Given the fact that we have so few strikers it seems a little strange. I guess he had his reasons though.
I'd quite like to see him get another chance really, but I doubt it will happen. He'll either be sold to someone on the cheap at the end of the season or go out on loan again.

I'm afraid there won't be anyone to negotiate with if his "form" continues.
He's a distraction. Everyone concentrates on the 'Carroll situation' due to his price tag (and shitness) and the whole thing invites pressure. Rodgers was right to get rid of him. His / the boards failing was not bringing in a replacement.
Either way, that 17M is starting to sound pretty damn good right about now. I doubt we'll get it though.
It all has a terrible sense of inevitability about it that prick Pardew will get his way and have him for £10m-£12m pounds, and he will become a top player again
I don't think we'll get 12 million for now that he's been in and out of the hospital for 2 seasons in a row. And has a high salary. In hindsight, that insulting lowball offer from Newcastle was the best deal we had any hope of getting. I hope I am wrong.
It'll be another Aquilani. He might hang around for another season on loan somewhere, before finally moving on for £7-8m.
Utter fucking disaster.
Utter fucking disaster.
He was never a top player, he was a flash in the pan. Unless you count Amir Zaki and Michael Ricketts as top players
