Transfer Business at Other Clubs (aka the other Wish List)

Pepe LeFrits

Agree with myself.

he'd be as dumb as he looks to stay there - go join a proper club and get more money for what you do

He's looking to get a lot more money at Spurs and also get a transfer clause into his contract. Levy is already bandying about stupid prices like 70-80 million and will not let him go unless he goes on a strike or something.

There are rumours that his agent is vying for a 200k deal and would settle for 170-180k. So, he'd take big wages home and next year when he makes a move, he'd ask for somewhere around 250k as opposed to the 170/180k he'll get, right now.

or, he could just get 250k now.

Carroll to west ham for 15m 😆

15 mil is over the top but Fat Sam won't find a better striker suited to his system than Carroll so it could prove good value for money. Incredible to think that 50m has already been spent on him though.

Captain

I've come to like Carroll since the end of the year. There's something awesome about his rough and tumble style.

Cannon

I think Carroll got shafted by Liverpool. He is a much better player than he is given credit for. Infact given the right environment i am willing to bet he can be a top CF.

He is still young and if he improves over the next 1-2 seasons he can still make his way to a top club.

He's a handful. Always thought he did well for England

goon

He's shit. Very limited. He's a handful in the same way Samba used to be a handful when the Walrus used to shove him up top.

Obviously he's not that bad, but don't think he's any better than Kevin Davies. Might have a few more goals in him in a good season but that's it.

Armor

Come on he's miles better than Davies ever was. He's probably as good as Giroud.

GaelForce

He's an idiot though, and his hold up play is terrible. When he came on against Italy in the Euros we lost any chance of building an attack for the rest of the game.

But I think he'll end up being a decent goal scorer. Should have a few 20 goal seasons in his career.

Iloveyouarsenewenger

Giroud is better than Carroll because he is not a mess off the pitch.

Carroll has one good patch per season may be because his mind is off football most of the times and gets praised to heights after a handful of decent games.

Atletico Madrid is in Singapore currently playing a charity cup.

Just now after the match, some of us fans as well as reporters crowded around Falcao. The reporters asked him if his future is decided, he can't speak a single word of english so he had 2 translators with him, he said he doesn't have a say in his future but 95% deal done with Monaco. Doesn't look too happy when he was saying that 😆

Adrian Lopez was also asked about his links with Arsenal, he said its over after January. No more contact. Apparently we pulled out of the deal after terms were agreed, with only medical and others to be done.

Carroll may not be the best footballer, but there is always something endearing about a player who puts his body on the line, week in, week out as he does.

Davies is no comparison as apart from being a much worse player, he was a cynical little coward of a player.

He's got a banger of a left foot too.

Based on what? His price tag or his size?

Davies was probably better at what he does. Being a big oaf.

Davies was a much different proposition around the time Wenger was interested in signing him in the late 90s. Would've been a much better pickup than Franny Jeffers that's for sure. The nasty piece of work he developed into later at a series of shit clubs … not so much.

Cannon

Iago Aspas of Celta Vigo to Liverpool is close supposedly.

Based on his ability. He's a much better player.
