Andy Carroll to West Ham

[Conkers]

£2m fee for year long loan deal + £17m to buy if West Ham stay up.
Can see him doing quite well but can't imagine he will want to stay there long term (i.e. drop in wages).

Does that make some of their strikers available either Cole or Bostock maybe ?......I still think we will get Kitson !!!!!!

More likely to be Nicky Maynard

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Or Carlton Cole

17m is still far, far too much.

Well, apparently to some posters on here, Steve Fletcher is worth £15million, Andy Carroll is much better so it can't be that bad !

why a drop in wages? West Ham are surely picking up his full wage now

 

[sir albion]

Baldock would be great for us

 

[severnside gull]

oops! Just seen Carroll has said he doesn't want to move to London (or possibly not toShammers) so deal agreed between the clubs is off!

Will West Ham really pay him £80k per week if buying him permanently? I doubt it!

WH were certainly claiming there was no deal last night after the news broke.

News stories saying that he will "resist" a loan to Hammers... I do not think they would want an unwilling player.

It beats me why one Premier League club would loan out a player to another. If he scores for West Ham it might be a goal that does not suit Liverpool.

Was not there a case once when the first Lua Lua scored for Pompey against his parent club, or to their detriment?
