Yes, that's undoubtedly right. Not including all the exceptions. But no doubt that's because no one would buy them.Originally posted by Arn View Post
He's not remotely pragmatic. That's obvious by the way he switched from 4-3-3 last season because he found 4-2-3-1 worked better for us.
And we all know all the best managers stick with a player until they come good. Like Houllier did with all his great buys. And like Rafa did with Robbie Keane.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

The Great Andy Carroll Debate looks to be in its final stages now that West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has weighed in to confirm the status of the dealings between his club and Liverpool over the striker's future.
"We are both out of the country but most of the negotiations are done and the financial agreement between us and Liverpool is in place," Allardyce confirmed. "It’s about communicating with Andy and his agent between London, here in Spain where I am and Florida where Andy is."
"I’ve no real need to speak to him over his decision. I’ve spoken to him enough times so he knows what I think and it’s up to him. He’s back in the next few days so we should have a definitive answer by the end of next week."
Carroll's new contract is reportedly for six years at £100,0000/week in wages plus a £2 million bonus from Liverpool for being purchased by another club without having formally requested a transfer. West Ham will pay the previously reported £15m transfer fee, although of course with Carroll's you-didn't-request-a-transfer bonus, Liverpool are only going to receive £13m.
The ball has pretty much always been in Carroll's court as to whether or not he'd sign with West Ham, given that they've accommodated every financial stumbling block they've previously said would prevent the deal from happening, from the transfer fee being too high for them to make work under Financial Fair Play rules to Carroll's £20K/week raise that would ruin their wage structure.
West Ham identified the player they wanted and have done everything in their power to make the deal happen, and at this point there is little reason Carroll would not agree to the deal. His wage demands have been met, he's getting a nice bonus from Liverpool, and all he needs to do is come back from Florida and sign on the dotted line.
Around these parts there has been a little renewed affection for Carroll as the negotiations drew on and on, and so perhaps it's fitting that one of the last images we'll have of Carroll while he's still under contract with Liverpool is of him lying on a beach in Florida, soaking up the sun in a pair of pink swim trunks, with a beer in hand. As it should be.

£100 grand a week for that sack of ****e! Football truly has gone mentalComment

£2m pay off for not requesting a transfer FFS and £100k a week FFS
I don't understand how clubs deals with wages aren't structured in terms of performance, such as some kind of probationary period where by you get paid a basic salary, if you meet the agreed conditions you get the pay rise and bonus if not then you stay on the basic pay grade until the end of the season where you are allowed to leave for a set fee.
That way there is an incentive for the player to play well (pay rise and bonus) and the club isn't lumbered with an underperforming player on stupid wages that they can't get rid of, and the contract stops the club refusing to sell the player if an appropriate offer come in.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment
