"He's not going to Spurs, he's not going anywhere,"
"It's been going on and on, it's ridiculous, we've said he's not for sale,"
“Andy is not for sale, again,”
"He's not for sale, how many times does it have to be said? They can put together whatever they like. He is not for sale.
"I am going to say it one last time, he is not for sale,"
“The club would like to make it clear for the very last time that Carroll is simply not for sale.”
Carroll:
"It doesn't matter what other people or other teams are saying. This is the club I wanted to sign for.
"I signed a new contract and I want to be here for the rest of my life.
“I’ve always worked towards being where I am now and want to stay here – it’s as simple as that.”
"I don't want to leave. It's always been my ambition to play for Newcastle United and score goals at St James' Park, and that's what I've been able to do.
"For me, I only want to play for Newcastle."
"I'm happy here and I want to stay."
