35mil + add ons I believe? 20% of next sale or something? Cash up front too. Gotta hand it to MA, he properly fleeced them.
Imagine if we bought him back as well! We'd be paying even less

Doesn't matter if the right money is offered up he be told he's going. Then the club will say he requested to.

If we bought him back for 10mil, does that mean we'd get like 2mil back then?

Maybe it's Carroll's master plan. Play **** for the scousers and then engineer his move back to us and become awesome again.
and he has already had Pardew give warning that any buyers can expect the same re Tiote. Who still has over six years left on his contract and is hardly the sort to throw his toys out of his pram if refused a move.

I'd love it if we had this hidden agenda the whole time. It'd be basically a stupidly expensive loan which didn't even work out as the player's been ****...i want this to happen so much now, just because we'll have essentially robbed the scousers 
Who's going to offer up the money? None of the big 5 clubs need a holding midfielder. Man United aren't even going to sign anyone.Doesn't matter if the right money is offered up he be told he's going. Then the club will say he requested to.

Came out and said that it was all a plan with our board and everything after the move back. He would be a hero for that![]()


5 and a half years left in January. They'll have to buy that, then our valuation which we'll want up front, then add ons and a sell on percentage. It will cost an absolute bomb and we have that with every player!
Only if he started scoring again too though
And he'd probably be on the bench, anyway![]()

we knew the torres money was involved

Which is why it would take a fool to be so definite that somebody will splash enough cash to make it happen. A sensible person acknowledges that there is a possibility but that it is not that likely.
Exactly. And if we get another 30-odd million cash up front for Tiote, who's complaining? I wouldn't be too bothered. Pardew + Carr probably have a replacement in mind just in case, so it'd be entirely different to the Carroll situation too.
