It's in Ashley hands if Andy Carroll moves to the toon. His goin to offer 15 million take it or leave it. Brendan from coach trip will snap Ashley hands off coz he wants Dempsey and Walcott. Ashley to win the fans over.

So basically Liverpool will of paid 20million for an unproven strikers services for less than 18 months. Nice
Agree6

£20million for an 18month loan.! What a deal haha
Agree3
Disagree1
How can you say 'good times ahead' when, as yet, we've signed nobody?
Reminds me of a kid looking forward to Christmas Day, getting all excited about the presents he's going to get and finding out on the big day that all he's getting is a stocking with an orange in.

15 Million is too much. 6 league goals in 18 months. Lets not get caught out here.

Why would ba go to Liverpool plus there notin cl so release clause wouldn't apply for BA
Agree7
Disagree1
Your 7 mil price sounds like you are linking the contract clause that Liverpool cannot activate as they are not in the Champions league. So find the rest of your rumour hard to believe.
Agree7
Disagree1
Ba gannin' nee where man! 'IF' you were a Geordie you would naa the release clause only applies to CL sides and 'IF' he were going the other way they would have to pay more than 7 million
Agree8
Disagree1
Cant see us paying part of carrolls 80k wages, so who wud we do the same for johnson??
Agree5
Disagree1
Why would ba leave when he has said numerous times he is happy at newcastle nd rumours are just that rumours
Agree2
Disagree1
Johnson would be a step further back than Andy Carrol. Anyone who remembers the piss takers of the Bellamy Dyer and the rest of the big time Charlie's era would be a fool to want that type of unproffesional attitude at the club.
Remember Cabayes comments about how the drink culture - even after defeats was something of a shock to him? Think he would be impressed if we had Carrol and Johnson out pissing it up week in week out?
We need to protect the team spirit not demolish it bringing in these type of players.
Agree10

What is your source? would love Johnson but dont want to lose Ba....

We couldnt afford aj's wages

Sky and the northern echo today mentioned ba going to liverpool in the deal for ac so maybe the clause doesn't include cl sides what do you think ed also stated that liverpool were going to go for ba even before newcastle went for ac {Ed026's Note - putting two and two together and making 5 in my opinion. Ba very unlikely to leave for Liverpool, it would be a sideways/backwards step.
Agree0

Johnson is a bit expensive to be a subcover for Ben Arfa.

Backwards step your having a laugh 1 good season and your a great side

ssport, Carol not want to move away from lpool on perm deal, leave him be and get two strikers that want to come quick, Ba rubbish for first month because of fasting and zapped energy levels, same could apply to Cisse this year ! think we need to improve options upfront
Believable4
Unbelievable3
I agree we do need another striker and I'd prefer Gameiro to Carrol.
The fact that Ba fasts for Ramadan did have an impact on his performances, but I can't see us getting two strikers in.
Shola is a good option to hold the ball up for the last minutes of a game but nowt much else.
Agree2
Disagree1
But whose going to score for the first month if both are zapped of energy, maybe that is part of Ba departure rumours all time, Sturrage ?
Agree0
Disagree1
The (apparent) 15 million is too much, a loan move with an option to buy is still our best bet IMO, seeing as Carroll will probably push for a loan move. Tbh, I think Obertan will come good, and he looked very handy last night against Monaco, made some decent runs, and only didn't score because of a bad decision on where to put the ball. But hey, it's pre-season, the guy has time to improve.
Agree2
Disagree4
Saying Ramadan effected Ba's performance's could be nothing more than coincidence, he stopped scoring at the end of the season, was he fasting then? yes he was out wide some of the time but still missed plenty chances
Agree0

Ramadan is now this year, finishes next week!

No it doesn't, it starts next week

Ramadam hasn't even started yet. Begins of the 20th this month.

Why would we pay 15-20m for carroll and not de jong, why would we blow the wage structure for some one who will be 3rd choice, we put a cheeky loan bid it was rejected, get over it, plus ive read that liverpools owner doesnt want to do business with ashley again

That's why I come on this website. Some of the rumours are great. I was in the fruit and veg isle in asda and bumped into Andy carrols mam and she said that he was not coming home. There seems to be a little confusion in the Carroll house hold. Lol
Agree5
Disagree1
He doesnt drink in the teams club mate!
Agree2
Disagree0
Lets hope we dont get Carroll, we need a full back and two good central defenders, Carroll is a luixury we can ill afford, need the ball on the ground, if you want height a giraffe is a better bet
Agree5

I bumped into his godfather's, neighbours, 3rd cousins', best friend's milkman on Easter Island, he said Carroll may or may not come back, I think he may be right.
Agree8
Disagree3
We could have got most decent strikers for the money, Carroll needs to learn how to play first, football is not played up in the clouds now
Agree1

I can't believe someone actually disagreed with my Easter Island comment, what a moron. What's not to believe? I was tagging worms for scientific research, they were all wearing red and white surprisingly!

Have you ever thought maybe someone pressed disagree by accident? Its easy enough to do on a touch screen.
