Then I read this

Have to say I really want us to sign him now, if only to see their fans outside St James park up in arms about it and complaining on SSN.

He would be effective for us I am sure, I'd personally perfer something more skill orientated but as said above the likes of Torres are not going to happen and thsi could well be our best option, especially this window.

Better than Crouch and Pav and if he plays a role in getting past Milan and coming top four again this year his fee would be jusitifed.

I really really dont like Newcastle, deluded fans, deluded manager...hear his press conference when he took over? One of the biggest 5 clubs in the country...there's bigger clubs in the Championship FFS!!!

I think people should forget Barrios til at least the summer too. Dortmund are not going to jeopardize their best chance to win the Bundesliga for yonks at this point in time, for any amount of cash. Money may talk in the summer, but not now.

Agreed, Klopp avoids talk of winning the title even when they are 10 points clear of Mainz/Leverkusen 14 points ahead of Bayern. Their first half of the season was amazing and they do not want to blow it this chance.

Also I can't imagine Benfica letting Cardozo go for £10-15M (not that he is worth more)...they paid €11M for him, just sold Ramires for £18M and supposedly rejected a £17M bid from Chelsea for David Luiz. They will probably lose Luiz and Coentrao soon for big money, so I don't think they'd be willing to sell another of their key players for only a minor profit.

exactly what i was thinking. Have we not crossed the ball more than any other team this year?

Carroll is phenomenol inside the 18 yard box. Can you imagine meeting to negotiate?
I'd just put on an hour and a half dvd of lennon and bale down each wing (with a bonus beckham dvd), walk in with a pen and say "sign here lad!!!"

another thing that could help it along is how our wings just torn them a new one in our recent match

I'm sure he wished they were on his team after that

Matt C · Jan 5, 2011

It is definitely City not us, the fee being talked about is £25m and there is not a cat in hells chance Levy would pay that for what may be a one season wonder, would he pay it for Torres ? probably, Carroll ? hell will freeze over first

Direct replacement for Adebayor IMHO

kishman · Jan 5, 2011

So Carroll not starting for Newcastle, is that the reason people are getting excited?

BringBack_leGin · Jan 5, 2011

Keane on our bench... hmmm

whiteheartdave · Jan 5, 2011

there must of been some encouragement to put in a bid for Carroll by newcasle or his agent?

People are saying that he travelled down to london this week for "treatment"

Matt C · Jan 5, 2011

cwarr07 Re AC, a Prem club have told #nufc that they pay 25m for AC, would love to be proved otherwise but suspect they will accept the offer #nufc

That's the latest from the Cwarr07 fella, I know some people hate twitter but he gets things right sometimes.

<<< Dzeko, Tevez, Balotelli, Carroll, possibly Adebayor, will take some doing keeping all them happy

jurgen · Jan 5, 2011

City want Carroll too? Surely even they realise paying £25m for yet another striker would render them a laughing stock?

City are in London playing Scum, not necessarily us and at £25m it won't be

Am guessing but I can't think who else would pay £25m for him, Levy sure wouldn't

kishman · Jan 5, 2011

City won't buy Carroll, for sure. I really hope we sign Carroll. I would rather us sign him than Dzeko.

Yeh but they wont care when we miss out on the top 4 because they buy every decent striker we go after. :-|

Exactly, Garry Cock would buy him just so no one else could get him

Berglad · Jan 5, 2011

Why not Chelsea?

pistolP · Jan 5, 2011

No Pay, No Play.

DoublePivot said:
But he didn't agree to it. He didn't trust Herakles. So I don't think the argument is valid. 5 months without pay.....playing incredibly. I think he has an awesome attitude.

And he's back anyway.

Spanish squad kneels during match to protest not being paid

Dan Ashcroft · Jan 5, 2011

Maybe it's £25m of Crouch (£10m) + Bentley (£10m) + £5m cash?

NickHSpurs · Jan 5, 2011

Or, maybe it's just not £25m!

brett.spurs · Jan 5, 2011

Where are we getting £25 mio from?

* I don't mean how can we raise 25m, but where is this figure coming from?
