Emersonlfc Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Good luck to Andy. His playing style suits West Hams and I hope it works out for him. Can't fault the effort he shown on the pitch when wearing Red. Pity we deemed his services at 35m when 15m is about right. Glad we have got this over and done with earlier as it will allow us to get a replacement in so he gets a full pre season under his belt with the team.

Emersonlfc Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Sell and replace Downing, experienced LB for cover for when Jose decides he wants to be ****, experienced CB and new 1st choice CB and ill be happy. Anything after that will be a bonus. IF Martinez decides to stay with Wigan, I'd love Suso/Shelvey to go there on loan for a year. 1st team football in a team with a similar style will be hugely benifical.

Tony7 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Who is this papa guy? I never heard of him and dont really play football manager. Is he good on the ball and pacey? £15 million for Carroll I would happily take that but think Carroll wants to stay atLiverpool and prove he is worth a place in the squad. I think Danny Rose is a good left back from what I have seen, certainly good enough as back up. I think Glen Johnson will be sold if a big offer comes in for him. I am just pleased we seem to be getting our business done early this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Glen Johnson will be sold if a big offer comes in for him. I am just pleased we seem to be getting our business done early this year. I've never signed him on FM, think i've signed the Sokratis one...But in real life he reminds me a bit of Phil Jones, but is more of a settled defender positionally. He's got a gurn on him too. Would love it if we signed him, and Tour's experience would be vital to our team. When you consider what we've lost over the past two years experience wise it's good to see us linked with such a shrewd signing. He'd be great to have around the squad, even if he doesn't play much. As for Carroll, i like him and if i was the manager i'd keep him! But he was always going to leave the current set up, and to get this amount of money for him is a great result. He'll be a top player for West Ham, as he has been already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafParrot Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 7 goals isn't really the mark of a top player. We've mugged off West Ham to get an offer of 15m for him. Pity we were stupid enough to part with over double that in the first place. Actually still makes me as angry now as I was the day he signed. Catastrophe.

Pity we were stupid enough to part with over double that in the first place. Actually still makes me as angry now as I was the day he signed. Catastrophe.Same here regarding the fee, so annoying to think of the money we wasted.But as far as how good he is, i don't judge him solely on goals scored. You see a lot of West Hams goals and most are down to him in some way, even if he doesn't score them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah, he is as good as gone, just think he is waiting to see if Newcastle bid. A couple of articles are seemingly suggesting it is not certain he wants to leave which means he is either thick, or he wants to sit on the bench and keep earning the big bucks at Liverpool instead. Either way it is a cluster if he does not see the light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrodude09 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I must have been watching a different Kolo Toure to the one getting slated above? Him and Nastasic looked pretty solid when they played together this season. Also, are you expecting him to come in as a first choice centre half? He'd be back up, pure and simple. Hope Carroll leaves, be nice to see the back of the big oaf. Biggest joke of a transfer I have, and will ever see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divinity Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If he's a back up you don't give him 50k for three years. 40 at an absolute push, with a single year with an option for another. We're building a team, not finding stopgaps that we need to replace in a season or two anyway. A long-term replacement for Skrtel is needed, and as a back-up I really don't see the point of him ahead of Kelly/Wisdom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll do a job when he plays too.If we sign Papadopoulos then he's the Skrtel replacement. Wisdom, Kelly, Papadopolous, Agger, Toure seems like a good balance to me.

knapp... Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 no way we should give toure a 3 year contract, i'm not even sure we should give him a 1 year tbh. not sold on him at all, he hasn't looked fit whenever i've seen him. if he's on a short contract to bolster the squad than i'm a not dead set against it, we'll see. good price for carroll. bit worried this injury might put a spanner in the works though. hope newcastle come in with a bid too as i get a feeling thats what he's holding out to see first. wish him all the best when he does go, can't fault his desire to help the team when he put the shirt on. really happy the club seems to be getting its **** together quickly in terms of preparation for next season.

Rhino Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 SAY NO TO KOLO! Not at all the kind of player I want at the club. Would much rather invest the money in the future, for backup players, or buy a genuine first-team centre-half. If we bring Papadopolous in, which seems likely, then for me it's just a case of whether or not he's going to be automatic choice. Ideally, I'd like Agger + 1, then have Papadopolous, Kelly and Wisdom pushing for games, in that order. If Papadopolous is first choice, then Agger + Papa, then Kelly, Wisdom and one other (in that order). I'm assuming Skrtel is going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think Kolo shouldn't be more than a 2 year deal but I guess he can cover centre back, right back, defensive midfield so could be useful although I think his best days are behind him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
