Andy Carroll

[Nick77]

Is this agreement that if they stay up they have to pay £17m for him? How ****ing funny would it be if they stay up in spite of him, not because of him

Make.it.happen

No, it's an option - we will probably get ****ed ala Aquilani & get offered half of the agreed upon fee...

i dont believe [from what i have read on here] that there is any automatic clause to complete a purchase if they stay up. west ham might have an option to buy at 17m, but they might not jump in for that.

i wonder if that is just a first dibs kind of deal, so that if west ham turn down the special offer price of 17,, it then becomes an open market. maybe west ham could then come in with a cheeky 10m bid, and it might start a arm wrestling match with a couple of others.

heres hoping

Nailed on to score against the Mancs and his value will soar.

If they stay up, surely they'll still buy him despite this latest injury?

[Norbs]

Why though? What a waste of money

£35 million reasons why they would

[Boogs]

Wasn't that clause rejected by ourselves as we wanted more
I'm sick of every club doing as we enter another transfer window.

There's no chance that WHU will pay the reported £17m fee. They could buy 4 & 5 decent players with that money.

[Shaggy]

Why isn't he playing today? Injured again?

On-loan West Ham striker Andy Carroll is expected to be out for up to eight weeks with a knee injury.
The England forward, who is on a season-long loan from Liverpool, was hurt in the midweek defeat against Manchester United and replaced by Carlton Cole after 62 minutes.
Hammers manager Sam Allardyce said: "It's pretty severe. We didn't expect it to be quite as severe.
"It's going to be about six to eight weeks

But Allardyce said Carroll would not be returning to his parent club for treatment: "Andy will be staying with us.
"We have contacted Liverpool, they have all the information, they sent a representative down to assess him, but they use the same specialist as we do, which helps and hopefully he can now recover as quickly as possible.bbc
