Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Fivex]

Utter bollocks

[RedReet]

Ha ha, you do read some nonsense on the internet.

[Cormack74]

Hmm, it would be cheaper to keep him if that were true wouldn't it?

[RedReet]

Exactly, let him play with U21's for a couple of years and then sell him for whatever profit.

[BigChief]

Quite right, if its all about the money then he can rot his career away with us. The world will have moved on by the time he comes out of 'prison'.

THERE IS NO PROFIT TO BE MADE ON Andy Carroll just one mutha****in financial loss

[Fosterbloke]

I can't believe he's a millionnaire anyway. Gives pub players everywhere a glimmer of hope.

Gives pubs and off licenses a glimmer of hope

Corrected.

[Vermilion]

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.

Those figures are mental, but this bit...

it is virtually unheard of for a club to ditch a marque signing with such a long period outstanding on his contract.

is worrying, and all things considered, i don't think we're done with being ****ed over for some truly eye watering amounts on this crazy crazy purchase.

[baitman]

the ex oldham, now leeds striker, matt smith is probably about or just above andy carroll's level.

[baitman]

the fact that carroll will be signing a long contract for 100k [all speculation of course] will mean it is in his interest to leave us and move. this makes the negotiating the ending of his LFC contract easier for us.
i reckon at the most he will get a third of his outstanding contract paid up by us.

its still a major **** up.

[Neil Young]

Worst Marky signing ever.

In hindsight it was a catastrophic error by FSG to put him in charge of transfer policy, no matter how big his guns. The bar ban alone should have deterred them.

Is it that unusual for a big signing to leave after 3 seasons (even if one was 1/2) when it hasn't worked out? I'm not so sure.

Has to be noted this 'worst signing ever' was not under Souness, Hodgson or even Houllier. Sadly, it was under a legend who had history with this sort of bad buys (Celtic/Newcastle). We will all forgive but how can we all forget?
