25 million for Carroll or 50 for Torres?
Torres wouldn't be interested in coming to us, so it is irrelevant...
I would go to £30m for Carroll. I know most on here will think it is terrbily over-priced, but I am convinced he will give us an unbelievable competitive edge up front, and our creative players will absolutely feast of his physical intimidation of defenders.
Maybe its all a cunning ploy....if Carroll is worth £23m surely Torres is three times that! We're just trying to screw Chelsea by increasing the market value of strikers!
Goes to show how transfer fees have continually risen during the years.
Didn't Alan Shearer cost Newcastle £18million from Blackburn?
And he was a far superior striker at that time compared to the still raw and in development Any Carroll (who also has a silly ponytail).
If we've offered Newcastle iro £23m cash, and they've rejected it & want £30m, why don't we just throw in either Niko or Keano who are both surplus to requirements?
Maybe NEwcastle don't want either
MAybe neither want to go to Newcastle.
