Andy Carroll, what does he do?

[Dr Nowt]

The sale to West Ham for virtually half what we paid for Carroll looking daylight robbery by us, underscores how unforgivably fucking awful the original purchase price was.

[Mathewbet1]

We were lucky to get 15-17m for him. But A fully firing Andy Carroll is worth 20m in todays market.

This

 

I rate him , he is just crocked. 

 

He scored the winner against the blue shite in the fa cup semi final. He also changed the game when he came on in the cup-final. 

 

for that he is sound in my eyes.

A key part of him not being worth it.

 

Fair play to him if he not only recovers his fitness but maintains it more often than not through his career, however the likelihood of that is surely thinner than Aspas.

[Sugar Ape]

He's fucking shit.

[Hand Shandy]

Really fucking shit.

[derykw]

He was overpriced injured and shit when we bought him and he was overpriced injured and shit when west ham bought him.

 

He might one day get fit but he will always be overpriced and shit.

Based on what? He's a pretty poor footballer for a start. He's a goalscorer who barely scores any goals, for another thing. 20m what? I wouldn't give you 20m potatoes for him.

[Ted]

Didn't we pay like a million more for him than city did for Aguero?

[Major Tom]

The get the best out of Carroll you need to be in the First Division.

First Divsion?

[J-V]

First Divsion?

 

League One or whatever the fuck it's called.

[JohnnyH]

Not just the worst (by some distance) signing in our history, but I struggle to think of another signing in the world that prevents it being the worst signing in the history of the game.

The Andy Carroll that bossed Chelsea was worth what we paid and then some. Unfortunately the Andy Caroll we actually got 99% of the time was worth 5 million at best. 

Pretty gutted it didn't work out. I was in love with the idea of having an English number 9 smashing in goals left right and centre. Shame the only thing he was smashing was pints and kebabs. 

[Ted]

 

 

Can't really argue with those.

[RedKnight]

It's an upsetting stat.

[Jairzinho]

The worst financial transaction in the history of mankind.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Not just the worst (by some distance) signing in our history, but I struggle to think of another signing in the world that prevents it being the worst signing in the history of the game.

Slight exaggeration, there.  He was decent, but grossly overpriced.  That's all.

 

It's like Ali Dia never existed!

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Carroll to Liverpool for £35M remains the most baffling transfer in history. Just ahead of the Bebe transfer.

It's best explained by new owners who didn't (don't?) understand the game putting their trust in a charlatan who claimed he understood the game and who then, in a moment of desperation, bent over and took it from one of the most shameless moneygrabbers in the Premier League.

[jamespp]

Heroics in FA Cup semi & final of 2012, he also had a good game against City which remain his last league goals at Anfield, I think that's about it from him, oh and goal at Goodison, anything else?

[Brigant Moloch]

I feel sorry for him, it's not his fault Comolli offered 35 fucking millions to Ashley, he seems a nice chap and an alehouse footballer who produces seconds of class every few weeks with some outfield issues to solve, good luck to the lad, there's a rumour he may end his career due to constant injury setbacks.

[Saintslfc13]

I get your point but I don't feel sorry for him myself. He's got one real job and that's to look after himself, maybe it's not "fair" seeing as some players seem to be able to get pissed up all the time and still perform but if that's the case then just about every fat fucker (obviously Carroll isn't fat but then as I said his job is essentially working out) in the world can point to a friend or two that don't have to watch what they eat and drink as much.

 

A player I genuinely felt sorry for was Aurelio. There's a man who seemingly did everything he could to stay fit yet just couldn't.

[Brigant Moloch]

Yeah I suppose You're right mate but I can't help to feel some kind of sympathy for all these poor bastards who ruined their careers, chances, those who wasted "once in a lifetime" opportunities etc. Kind of tragic yet fascinating think I'd say, pure life haha.

[Paco]

I don't think he does himself any favours though.

 

some players are unlucky with injuries, they live their lives the way an athlete should and some people have to take a look at the way they live their lives and ask themselves am I helping myself here drinking the piece out in vegas dressed in a giant bear suit.

 

he was still our player then. we could've been stuck with the dozy twonk.
