Bet he scores against us next season.

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

Best we could hoped for out a very very bad situation.

He never once really moaned about his time at Liverpool, which was good of him.

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.

Guess LFC.TV wont have a sequel to the excellent 'Andy Carroll story'.

[peekay]

Wow..Great deal for us.

In fact it is a great deal for everyone involved. Allardyce gets his ideal forward. He will thrive in that setup.

Wrap him in cotton wool and bubble wrap and personally deliver him in a comfy container right to the door at West Ham.

YES

[Muddled]

And to think, Cheshire Today parped that we were only going to make a couple of million out of it! But I digress, £15.5m, plus the £2m loan fee gives us the £17.5m that was talked about before West Ham took him on loan. The extra £2m will be the loyalty bonus we will pay Carroll and what we'll get back from West Ham if Carroll performs and meets these *extras*. Fair play.

As for Carroll himself, I agree with MrM and Rowan.

I hated every minute he polluted Liverpool with his rudimentary Mick Harford lump it to the big man, battering ram (not really), slow motion diarrhoea brand of football. Good ****ing riddance.

Never been more relieved to see a player go, not because he was a horrible man or anything (eg Diouf) but because of the style of football he represented. Big, lumbering, Hodgsonesque hoofball man.
