Andy Carroll

[dww]

Isnt it Carroll that they need to convince though, not us?

Well Rodgers has been doing his bit to make Carroll feel unwanted here.

Apparently Besiktas are trying to exchange Hugo Almeida for Carlton Cole (according to SSN)

[Gibbo]

Thats not signing thats a swap.

Plus he's not that good! £20m for Carroll bid by the end of the day.

Perfect match for Carroll. Left footed, big (maybe even bigger) and not that good (possibly slightly better). If he Almeida were British it'd be like for like.

We was going to Fiorentina yesterday too.

I predict another twist in this tale / tail.

Why were you accompanying Berbatov to Fiorentina?

I've been doubtful about Andy Carroll and West Ham but I'm hearing there may be a chance after all. Deal is loan and then £17m if stay up.

[Chazza]

Take that deal and re invest the cash.

17m would be a decent deal.

[Gray]

Not if they're relegated.

Given the Echo article this morning about the owners letting Rodgers have any potential future fee to spend in this window I'd bite their arm off for that. Even if they did go down we'd still get a couple of million loan fee and save 4m in wages so it's a great deal really.

[Shaggy]

Yep, take it. Provided he'll go there of course.

Carroll?

Said Top, top class rules out Carroll

Some right whoppers phoning in on Talk****e this afternoon about Andy Carroll.

Somebody's Nan trying to make out the Andy Carroll thing is anti Kenny conspiracy, just like when Souness was manager.

[Kenneth]

Heard that. Selected the Muppets.

[James P]

Said Top, top class rules out Carroll

It's all relative. He's certainly top, top class compared to West Ham's current players.

Like Rodgers said: No loan. End of story. Who the **** do West Ham or Newcastle think they are?

That's like me saying 'I'll play 50 squares in the lottery and I'll pay them, but only if I win." **** off. And rightly so.
