Just seen clips from the Pardew Conference on SSN.
"We told Andy we would renew his contract in the Summer, however he wanted to renew it straight away, thats when I felt the power shifted"
"We didn't twist his arm, or force him onto the helicopter. At the end of the day if Carroll wanted to be here he would of stayed, but he's not here."
"After the transfer went through I told Mike that all of the fee had to be reinvested into the team and he agreed"
"We made some bids at the last minute but we were quoted extortionate amounts, we weren’t going to pay an over inflated figure for a lesser player than Andy Carroll"
Sounds like Carroll got greedy to me.
