Great name.

Better player than Andy too.

Its an affront that this ****ing lump even thinks he's worth that kid of money. LFC empowered him to think he's elite level by splurging that level of stupidity on him. Fair play for maximising his earning potential, but a bit of self awareness wouldn't go amiss.

A bit of self awareness in life generally by lots of people wouldn't go amiss either.

We're all guilty of it. So what.

It's as if you're a beacon of self aware wisdom or something. People are people. We all look out for ourselves and those who mean the most to us.

also, funk jams are dumb.

And also, I don't remember you having a successful musical career either.

And then you got other jobs.

Anyway, enough.

Ah right, now I get what was going on in the WAYLTATM thread.

Just to be clear, I was referring to Big Andy having self awareness (ie hs himself acknowledging that he isn't worth the expenditure), not the people here. We're all just cartoon characters knee jerking and spouting ****.

Not all. Not Nige. Not quite.

Liverpool FC’s Carroll could earn £14 million from transfer

Liverpool striker Andy Carroll could pocket the bulk of the £15 million transfer fee on offer if he signs for West Ham.

The player, who is expected to sign his new contract shortly at Upton Park shortly, has already seen his agents negotiate an uplift in his wages from a reported £80,000 a week to just short of £100,000 , but a much bigger pay day is in the offing.

The player still has just over three years left on a contract he signed just over two years ago and as he did not ask for a transfer is entitled to be paid up in full – if the figure of £80,000 is correct, and there is no cancellation clause then that amounts to an eye- watering £12.4 million.

In addition, his agents will ensure that he recieves a portion of the £15 million transfer fee. In practice this means at least 10 per cent. The two figures, if paid, would mean that virtually all the transfer funds Liverpool receive would be paid to the player.

Generally, the selling club and player come to agreement over the amount of money that will be paid to the player to cancel the contract – usually around a third of the sum due – but in the case of Carroll the club are entering new territory; it is virtually unheard of for a club to ditch a marque signing with such a long period outstanding on his contract.

I don't believe the club would allow a situation were we would have to have to pay the remainder of a contract up in full. I can imagine he's hankering after a lump sum and I can imagine his agent wants to take a slice, but £15 million? No chance.
