Carroll - is it possible? And would you even want him?

Not for me, the scars are too deep from when he left. One of the most painful departures ever in my time supporting the club. He was the second coming and he pissed all over us.

Bring in Erding and see what he can do

 

What if he was a brilliant footballer: what if he left under the exact same circumstances but actually developed into an absolutely lethal (25+ per season) striker? Would those deep scars still prevent you from wanting him back if he was linked?

 

I can't talk hypothetically, I just know I don't want Carroll back at the club. He crossed the club and the fans that idolised him all in the name of money. He can stay where he is 'you pay your money, you take your choice'

 

That's interesting, I think there's always room for a what if. I obviously agree with you that he gave a spectacular middle finger to the fans in the way that he left, just months after being given the coveted role that every fan idolises. I just wouldn't take him back now purely because I don't rate him, rather than on principle, and wondered where somebody of your opinion stood on that.

 

I can see Liverpool wanting to sell Carroll this January, but whether it's to us or not is a different story. I'd take him back though

Apparently price down to £10M

Come back Agent Andy all is forgiven. £25M for a season long loan? Quality.

Will return on our terms - £30K a week it is then.

 

We won't buy him especially as we are supposed to be in Paris trying to get a deal for Erdinc done

 

I'd pay the 15 million for people just to shut the **** up about Andy Carroll.

It's been a year and people are still banging on about him, and giving him abuse. Seriously shut the **** up about it.

 

I would take him back only if he agreed to go back to his original wage wear the number 39 shirt and work his way up and for **** sake stop drinking all the time

 

I think the probability of this happening is about 3% but i'm going to go one record and say that football is far too tribal these days. players moving about is the nature of the beast and i for one am not a carroll hater since his move. hes he local lad that helped drag us out of the mire in my eyes and i do truly believe that he would've been happy to stay here. whether he decided to go or whether he was pushed is irrelevant to me. if a rival club comes in and offers to treble your wages but your happy at your present club you would assume that you have a strong hand to play in negotiating a new contract. For me it was up to the club to show the ambition to keep him by paying him the going rate for a player of his stature at the time. if they can't afford to break the wage structure then come out and say that. we'd love to keep him but we can no longer afford to hold onto him when the carrott elsewhere is so big so we need to maximise the profit we can make on his transfer or he can take the improved terms we've offered. either way we can do this acrimoniously.

 

Weird, I've seen you complain about these complaints just about as much. Seriously shut the **** up about it .

Would be funny as **** if we shut up the pudits who say we haven't replaced Carroll by signing Carroll for £25M less than we let him go for. Doubt it'll happen after Lambiarse's drunken comments about the transfer though.

 

I don't think our system would work with him now. Hes best with his head and he wont score many with Obertan and Jonas supplying the crosses.

 

mandy can get ****ed i for one dont want him back he has made his bed so he can lie in it ,
blew us out like a candle and ****ed of to the scousers and has done **** all there
just shows its not so brighter on the other side is it ****

 

so what would opinions be on given coming back then ??????

 

For £25M less than we sold him? I would. Take a while for him to get back in our good books but Mandy in the form he was in before he left us alongside Ba? Would be ****ing awesome.

 

i'd have him back in a heartbeat ! and i actually think he'll be a newcastle player again in feb !

 

^^This ..

[just taken me this long to read through all these posts] .. all those saying why would we spend £10 - £15M on him .. not really spending it is it, just reducing the size of Comolli's 12 month loan payment .. would be the 2nd best deal of the season behind getting Ba for 'freeeeeee' .. but 0% chance of it happening really

 

I'd have him back quite happily as long as he's content enough to accept the terms offered by NUFC.

One personal stipulation though: he's forfeited the right to the number 9 shirt forever.
