Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[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.

[Fivex]

**** off Newcastle you gaggle of cunts!

[MrMichael]

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.

[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..

[danperkins]

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.

[kingfunk]

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

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

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

[RedReet]

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

He'll be in a lot of prem fantasy teams

He'll be in a lot of prem fantasy teams

I hope so. Will make my job much easier.

[baitman]

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


start now

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

They'll build a team around him. He's scored a goal every three-and-a-half games this season (not sure about the minutes), so whilst he's nowhere near our level he should do well for West Ham.

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

Come on you Irons.


Good luck to the lad. Hope he does well.

[RedReet]

Plus he was injured most of last season and is injured again now.


Edit: He was injured when we paid 35 mil.

[Rowan]

I hope he does well. This isn't a problem of his making and despite his former lairy ways he's conducted himself well. His strengths aren't compatible with ours but hey ho. Best of ****ing luck to him.
