Andy Carroll

[kris90210]

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

£35 AND a sell on fee. **** me, they must have laughed all the way to the bank if that's true

[Vermilion]

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.

Did we take out an Ad ?

And the interest that we had to stump up for paying a day late.

That's not concrete about a future percentage from a transfer fee. I've thrown it out there because I remember reading something along those lines and I'm wondering whether anyone else remembers anything about it.

Top to bottom incompentance that deal was, ****ed it up from the off.

What did we say....something like....'We wanted 15mill profit from the Torres money' ?... what sort of negotiating is that!

Bloody hell, atleast we know that won't ever happen again. Lesson learned.

Pretty sure it was a straight one off payment of 35mill

Pretty meaningless if true :

Mike Ashley – club will get 25% of next Andy Carroll transfer fee
That’s in excess of the £35M

He is never going to go for more than that....ever.

Didi has just hit the nail on the head:

@DietmarHamann: If LFC want to get near the top 4 this season you need players who hit ground running and not start playing in last 10 games when itstoolate

How is that Carroll's fault if Kenny doesn't play him regularly?

I think he has been badly mismanaged.

He was dropped so many times when he has shown signs of improvement in the game before.

Here is an interesting stat.

He started only 17 games in Pl last season and only 5 times started 2 games or more in a row..

Yes, but he was also one the top ten most played players and often did nothing to justify his inclusion in the starting line up.

Maybe he didn't do/show enough to be worthy of a place.

We haven't done him any favours on the footballing side that's for sure, and i hate hearing ex players come out with stuff like this.

It's true but at least heads have rolled and people have been held accountable (although Commoli probably got a nice pay off). Easiest job in football that....being given a wad of cash to sign good players and he still messed it up. Dalglish should take the share of the blame too but if Commoli's the Director of Football then the buck stops with him and he should have purchased and advised better. For example, 'No Kenny, we're not paying 20m for Downing and 35m for Carroll as my footballing knowledge tells me they are not worth that price. How about these other players...'

I really still hate Commolli

I think Alarm bells should have been ringing from the top of the club to the bottom on this, the club was about to break the british transfer record for an Englishman after all.

I think the 50mill coming in for Torres made everyone careless and maybe even a bit carefree.

Money's gone now anyway, we'll never see anywhere near it again.
