Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Mostar]

Does that include the 2m for the loan deal or is the lot worth 19.5m?

2m loan fee + 2m based on add-ons (supposedly) + 15.5m sale price

if we all hold our collective breaths until its confirmed, then it will happen without any hitches.


start now

[Bender]

I hope so. Will make my job much easier.

He'll be in a lot of prem fantasy teams

He'll do (relatively) well there imo, Allardyce will play to his strengths and unlike Newcastle who are the funniest thing in football, the West Ham board seem to have a bit of ambition. Good move for him, unlike the last one he made, and a fair price on the current market for us.

Hope he puts a couple past Newcastle and relegates them. Plus a few against United, Spurs and Arsenal would be nice.

Staggering if we get £15.5m plus £2m in extras!

Thanks Allardyce, you fat *******!

Chairman's son:

Oh my god, be delighted if we get that but i suppose he does fit what allardyce looks for in a player so might do ok there.

[Mostar]

If that is really the what we'll get for him we'll basically got Mickey without any significant money from summer budget which is great..

**** off Newcastle you gaggle of cunts!

[RichC]

Got to be quite happy if this comes off, massive blunder with the initial signing but if we manage to get that sort of money back on him

Have to give Ayre credit if this is true.

[Mostar]

Incredible deal if true.

The best of luck WHU.

You'll need it.

Much more than I thought we'd get for him.

6 year contract! A match made in heaven.
