Story from mirror:-
Derek Llambias, the man who brokered the deal that made Andy Carroll the most expensive Englishman in football history, has sensationally claimed: “He’s worth f*** all!”
The Toon MD’s disparaging verdict on England striker Carroll (below) came when he was giving a group of Newcastle fans an insight into the £35million deal that took the England striker to Liverpool in January.
Llambias insists that Newcastle got the better of the deal.
The Anfield club’s first bid was £30m and Llambias told the fans: “I have to admit that £30m for Andy Carroll is a lot of money.”
When one supporter asked him “Is he worth £30m?” Llambias responded: “No — he’s worth f*** all.” He then explains that after rejecting the £30m offer, Newcastle refused to sell even for £35m unless Liverpool paid the entire fee up front.
A move that forced Liverpool to ask Chelsea to increase their first instalment of the £50m they had already agreed to pay for Fernando Torres!
Llambias explained: “It is about control.
“We had the control. We knew the Torres deal was there.
“We drew that f****** deal, perhaps the ultimate.
“So £30m? F*** off! Don’t waste my time and I slammed the phone down.
“£35m? Everybody including Pardew [manager Alan Pardew] all agreed.
“But the £35m they wanted to pay over four years. It was rubbish. Mike (Ashley) said — and he is a brave boy Mike I promise you — get all the £35m up front.
“We got it all up front and then they never paid us on time and we charged them 12 grand f****** interest.”

“We had the control. We knew the Torres deal was there...
thats why is so much better to get the deals done early, rather than advertise to everyone how much you have available to spend
removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

Andy Carroll has an awfully long time to get it right and when he does he will be worth a fortuneOriginally posted by BigChief View PostExactly, we saved what £15million on Enrique? Add £20million England-weighting value of Carroll I'd say we broke even.
The only team that got f*cked was Chelsea.

We saved on Enrique because he contract was low. So we got him for the market valie.
We did not break even. We got done for Carroll.Last edited by RichC; 13-11-11, 12:40 PM.
