Redcliffe 78 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Newcastle refuse offer, transfer request from Carroll, from a toon hero, to stay away from Newcastle for a long time. Ambition on Carrols part maybe, what you people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think the Newcastle fans will go loopy. Time and time again the club stated he would not be sold in this transfer window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyreds89 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Football has gone crazy 35mil for someone who has played about 20 top flight games in his career! Good player and a potential great player! 35m should be for someone tried and tested! As for the transfer request he's obviously been told to do that! Madness!

Nibor Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think Carroll is doing Newcastle a massive favour and Liverpool fans will be more disappointed. Power has always been with the players and always will be, they are after all the ones people pay money to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_Red Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Trouble is fans love the club and expect players too aswell. 99.9% of them dont care whose paying them as long as its as much as they can earn at the time and they get to play. Dont expect players to think of a club as anything more than a current employer and a stepping stone to a bigger payday and you wont be disappointed. I'm not saying players are wrong just that we cant expect loyalty because we give none back when we think they're not good enough. It works both ways.

And people wonder why we have so many foreigners in the Premier League. The prices for young English players are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true you can pick up a half decent experienced player from the continent at a fraction of the price of a up and coming English player.

I must admit, it does amuse me to see the great wailings and gnashing of teeth when one of the 'heroes' leaves. As far as I'm concerned, let them go, 40+ years of going down the Gate and the only constant is the ground and the fans.Players come and go all the time, some better than others.

Power has always been with the players and always will be, they are after all the ones people pay money to watch. I think you will find before Jimmy Hill came along players did not have 'the power' . His crusade for a minimum wage changed the whole status quo for good and I don't mean for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Very true you can pick up a half decent experienced player from the continent at a fraction of the price of a up and coming English player. Correct- to think David Villa cost £7m less than Carroll appears to. Which one is proven at the highest level though? Crazy. Suppose though, one thing that may count for him is his massive potential, or if worst comes to worst a resale value given age etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Ashley probably spot on. With all due respect to Ireland, coming in on loan from Villa, its gonna be a tough sell to the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
