Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

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

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

£15.5m plus £2m of extras

How generous of them!

[Tee]

So net outlay on Mikki will only be £8m.

Sky sources: Liverpool striker Andy Carroll having medical at West Ham #SSN



waits for Nigey to make another complaint to the mods

[Fosterbloke]

As pleased as I am that he's going, it's a bloody piss take.

How does he keep hoodwinking people like this 100,000 a week for 6 years ffs.

It's not just him. It's symptomatic of modern football. Very average players get paid Kings ransoms week in and week out.

Late interest from Newcastle you say? **** them, we should tell them to stuff it even if they offer more money. They've been thinking they've had a strong hand throughout this yet it turns out they're still a bunch of ******s when they can't even sign a local hero

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.

If Roy Kinnear bids more then I'm happy for a delay. But if he's going to bid exactly the same to turn Carroll's head then hopefully he signs for WHU today.

haha! Too late Rowling! toooo late!
