Speculation: Andy Carroll

The England striker Andy Carroll will leave Liverpool only for a club who can provide him with European football.

The 23-year-old is keen to stay at Liverpool and prove himself to the new manager, Brendan Rodgers, but is coming to terms with the fact that he may not be required at Anfield.

Carroll's former club, Newcastle, and West Ham are among those interested in him but he is not prepared to move on anyone's terms but his own. Newcastle can offer European football after their fifth-placed Premier League finish last season but West Ham cannot.

Rodgers has said there is no chance of Carroll leaving Liverpool on loan but said last week: "If an offer comes in for any player at the club we would either look at it, or dismiss it, and Andy's no different to that."

Looks like hes either going to stay put or move abroad then as I can't see a side in Europe this season wanting him, especially Newcastle

Why don't you think Newcastle are interested?

Has Carrolls' link with AC Milan gone? Was it nonsense?

Because I could see him moving to Italy and doing quite well.

I'd like Carroll to come to Villa. I think he's one of the best in that mode of Striker, young enough to improve on his weaknesses and would fill a type we don't currently have in the squad (A big target man not a boozer, we have plenty of them :) )

I don't think we have to sell Agbonlahor to bring him in, we need to add a forward not replace.

Regardless of any footballing reasons (of which there are quite a few) he has too much personal stuff hanging over him in Newcastle, if he needs a 24 hour guard outside his house in Liverpool because of it, the threat is clearly still there. Moving back to Newcastle is only going to amplify that tenfold and also lead him back into the drinking culture he seems to have left behind.

Ba out

Carroll in

Common sense

Really? i would say any manager that sells a happy Ba to accomodate Carroll has zero common sense!

But then again you do think it would be common sense to replace Warnock with David Murphy :winkold:

I don't want Andy Carroll or his like....it encourages " hoof Ball" and I want to see the passing game return to our park.

Its not passing for passing sake that I like to see because that can be as boring....Its passing with purpose and effect.

I don't agree at all. If you have a target man, it gives you an extra dimension up front and a different way of attacking - it doesn't mean that you're going to hoof it up front and not pass the ball or build up the play, it just means that when you're in the final third you have an aerial threat as well as on the ground. There's nothing wrong with players like that if they're used correctly and having different attacking options is a big benefit - if you're one dimensional then you're a lot easier to defend against. Even Wenger has realised this and bought Giroud.

Amazing. Just amazing. A news story is printed with not one single quote from the player or manager relating to Carroll wanting European football [bar the headline] and the everyone has lapped it up.

So Rodgers has no knowledge of a West Ham bid for Carroll. Those gobshites have done it again. Slip a little nugget of bullshit into the media and watch the magic happen.

As for "Moose", he's the biggest bullshitter in history. He makes Muhammad al Sahaf look like a man of impeccable intergrity.
