    I had to laugh, how unlike G&S to announce this type of thing. I think they've done a fairly decent job, except for replacign Zola with Grant, but I do wish they wouldn't announce this type of fairlytale signing. Ruud Van Nistleyroy, Huntelaar, Beckham, it's just laughable, they did the same at Brum.

    I'm starting to think all this Carroll BS is a smokescreen and we might see some new transfers very soon

    Are they making much available in the way of investment then?

    looks like they're actually serious, bid in excess of £15m (guessing closer to £20m), is he worth it?

    a massive bid for someone who won't come, yeah very plausible, sell the season tickets and end up with Carlton Cole. I'd like to see it happen thugh, I think he'd be a good fit for SA.

    I'm sure there will be a clause put in by Liverpool, that if he performs he will return.

    This is still a bloody good deal, he may not score regularly ATM, but he knows where the net is unlike all of west ham's poor quality strikers.

    Yup, Carroll would like to go to New Castle, that's the only transfer possibility for him I think... and the offer by West Ham was pretty decent. But it seems that Andy would rather sit on the bench whole season. Good Luck Andy :D

    It's the story that just won't die. TBH if I was in his position I'd go to the club that really wanted me.

    news: West ham really wants him baaadly, they offered him £90k per week. I personally think that Hammers should for example Berbatov for £5 mil. ...is he still available?

    Hi guys. Not wanting to come over as one of them ITK's, but I work in Canary Wharf for a company that owns possibly the best residential tower in the area. The tower is also home to Sam Allardyce and a number of WHU players. Anyway, just letting you know that I saw Andy Carroll in the lobby yesterday.

    Not ground breaking news, but thought I'd share anyway.

    This sounds like a potentially decent deal if he can get close to his Newcastle form (albeit only half a season of playing well in PL). Sort of requires a very particular way of playing if you take him, does that make it less attractive (or has that boat already sailed?)? Also, is someone known for being a liability off the pitch likely to go mental in London or benefit from a bit of anonymity?
