Andy Carroll

[Lecter]

Has Carroll even come back for training yet after the Euros?

Has Rodgers even seen him on the training pitch? This is all madness he's got to give him a few training sessions at least before he ditches him surely.

Hes not back yet

Anyway wheres the proof that Rodgers has any intention to sell Carroll?

Well there isnt any real proof however the club has yet to deny the stories that have been swirling round the media over the last few days

[Lecter]

There would be other players higher up my list that I'd prefer to eject from the club

Players who are on bigger wages than Carroll

If big Andy could learn to trap a ball or even semi-control the ball, he might have a chance, his first touch is worse than Emiles and that was a joke.

I watch the German strikers often and they can all control the ball and pass the damn thing without the receiving player having to run 20 yards to get it.

Until Andy learns the basics there is no place in BRs teams for him

[Shaggy]

The stories have been given to the press by the club.

Unless it's an elaborate plan by Rodgers to motivate Carroll then it seems pretty certain he's on his way.

I suppose ultimately it's up to Andy and if he doesn't want to go then he can dig his heels in, stay and fight for his place.

Carra, Cole and maybe Aquamann - anybody else?

I did get told from his agent and did post in here I think from memory it was 70k a week, he was on 25k at Newcastle and he got 15% of transfer fee.

Meeting up with him at the weekend, hope to here what was said in that phone call and what Rodgers really thinks of him

Carroll received 15% of the fee that we paid for him?!

Lucky *******.

IF the club is leaking stories to the press I wonder why the Echo have not taken up that story and carried it

Seems a little odd to me

I don't think this situation is being handled very well buy the club if they have indeed originated it. If we want him out at a decent price you've got to give the impression of value. Something we hardly ever do. We need someone like Don King to teach the club how to maximise value.

bit difficult to do considering his first season with us ....... and his blockbuster price tag

If we sell Carroll for a knock down fee, I hope we put on a sell on clause that would see us make money on a future sale.

[Phoenix07]

I'm pretty sure there's some clause about Newcastle getting a percentage of any future transfer fee. Or was I dreaming about that?

His first touch is fine...with his head.
