Blackpool mate
Blackpool you fool
LOL, I saw 'Pool, and just presumed it was the Scousers
Andy Carroll might have been outscored by those various players you mentioned last year in the championship
" Peter Whittingham, Nicky Maynard, Gary Hooper, Michael Chopra and Charlie Adam"
But if you take away penalties i wonder how many these scored!? because Carroll doesnt take pens usually for Newcastle
And bar charlie adam non of these have ever made an impact on the premiership or played for England and are not playing to the same level as carroll,
Carroll is younger than all of these and is already proven he can do it in the Prem with a smaller team so at a bigger club with more service the guy is only going to get better!
ill give torres £20m
and carroll £8m
Andy Caroll is a fantastic prospect no doubt but comparing him to Drogba, Torres and Rooney right now as Alex did was completely **** as all of them have been out of form, malaria etc.
Andy Caroll is a great player but no way can u justify that 35m price tag especially if u consider that Chelsea valued Torres at 30m just a couple of days ago
If the Ireland deal is off newcastle must be thinking of who they can get with the 35 million if carrol goes and must want someone better and on a permanent deal , if it was me i would put a cheeky bid for Adam in and see what happens!

im not disputing the value is very over priced, but if you think of the darren bent transfer ENGLISH strikers are always over priced especially if you think of Carroll's performances and goals and the fact he got the England call up that's just how it is,
Carroll is not a better player than Villa, Dzeko ,tevez who were all bough for under 35 mil , but he is young , english and has really proven himself in the prem and his the potential to get better so thats why his value is through the roof!
But as a newcaslte fan im not complaining!
Liverpool's bid rejected. Ashley you idiot.
