I heard about this on TAW, and this made a lot of sense.
Even more so when you consider Rodgers saying in the press conference he would seriously have to seriously consider a loan move for Carroll, and then rejecting Newcastles bid mere hours after it was made.
I can see the justification for wanting rid of Carroll, but something about this just doesn't add up.
I listened to that too, think Dark Machine did too considering his post about the situation just hours after the episode went up.
Allerdyce is a JT, but he's a good football manager, especially at that level. His work at Bolton was commendable, and Blackburn should never have sacked him. He needs clubs that are mouldable to his 'ideals' though, as we saw at Newcastle.
Arnie, you said we were valuing Carroll at £20 million? Well that would be the price we couldn't afford to turn down.
Extremely unlikely anyone will come near that though, which suggests again that Rodgers is using the old Mourinho method.
Interested to see Newcastle's improved bid though. Suspect it will be another loan.

and RVP to Chelsea for 50 mil. Mancini will make a statement saying that not even their arabs would waste that much money on him.
Either way, if Rodger's is doing a Mourinho then it'll be interesting to watch, and I think Carroll's the sort of player to respond well to it. If anyone offers over £15 million though I'd be more than inclined to sell, personally. I think we could get Sturridge and more for that money, who're far more useful to us than a performing Carroll.
This line sums it up perfectly, and makes me laugh too, I love Mourinho:
Mou said:
I think United's interest is genuine still, and I wouldn't exclude Juventus either. Would be interesting if he stayed at Arsenal though, how would the fans react, how would the board react.
think (read: hope) he's just saying that to drive the price up. No need to invite other clubs to buy his 25m strikers for 5m like they had to do for Adebayor. Shame it'll probably force the RVP saga out until the beginning of the season though...

Feeling this Passion Pit album.
Tbh it's not beyond the realms of possibility that RVP will extend although after his site message I don't want us to extend his contract.
We should see the punk to Juventus and put the money into other younger players. Hopefully the m'vila deal goes through.
He should be halfway out the door by now. As I said a couple of pages back, Its only a matter of time before he starts acting up again.
It's getting embarrassing at this point. Should just sell up. There was a definite argument against it in the January window, but now there's no excuse, especially with RVP on the market.
I'm feeling this Bieber album.

They will forgive him in a heartbeat just like Rooney.
Both situations are pretty pathetic.
If he continues his form I won't even bat an eyelid.
eh, I hope he leaves because if he stays we'll have too many strikers... we need a Fabregas/Nasri replacement, and the easiest way to buy one of those is to sell a player who doesn't want to be here anymore. that or Walcott. I'd be overjoyed if a Liverpool or Chelsea (PSG plz?????) felt like spending 15m on him.
as for Tevez, he's clearly a JT of the highest order, but it's not like Mancini handled the situation particularly well either. Time for both of them to go... Tevez first, then Mancini at the end of the season.
He's a beast.
Off to Youtube him then.
Yeah, I'd never heard of him either. We could do with some mental toughness in our side lol

Heard that Mikey Owen was at Villa Park today.
Any of Villa-GAF know anything about this?
I still think Owen can score goals, proven finisher. His fitness however is a big problem.

Would we have a choice? Keeping him is not the best course of action for our club though. Just because RVP scores some goals doesn't turn him into the club chairman.
I still love him as a player but keeping him will cost us 20mil+ transfer fee, 5mil+ sign on bonus, 140k+ wages so he will be an expensive investment to keep. No good warming the treatment bench if he doesnt want to be here and he clearly doesn't. Everything about this saga points to him wanting out, I doubt this is a money making tactic as it was with Rooney.
Villa will get relegated if they sign him.
Would love to see him at Stoke, he'd fit right in. Sorry villa-gaf
Doesn't he spend most of his time in Newcastle anyway? Come back home, Andy.
Or he does a Downing and all we get is a blank screen with the sound of the wind. This Sounds much more enjoyable
Only thing I've heard is more talk of Vlaar and Danny Simpson wanting to come to us rather than Reading.

Could be called: Andy Carroll 2011/13 - All Skills [HD]
I'm being overly harsh. I jizzed my pants after both his goals against Everton last season, as well as his header assist against United.

Juve are top of my list, RVP tells Arsenal

I'd be happy with this. Just get it done soon.

Out of all the new signings in the PL, who are you most interested in seeing?
Kagawa is the obvious choice for me. And then there is Hazard at Chelsea. I'm curious to see if he can translate his Ligue 1 form to the Premier League and manage to live up to the hype. And I want to see if Marko Marin can rediscover some form at Chelsea.

By far the best. Get it done NOW!

I blame Viva if RVP goes to a club other than City.
I don't want to live in this world anymore.

If Cavani comes in, Torres wants out.

He'd be fucking class in our system.
Thought you guys wanted Sturridge. Or was that Tottenham?
We both do. Don't think Danny would particularly relish an AVB reunion though. Unsurprisingly.
poor Torres. I don't get why even bothers to stay at Chelsea (besides his ridiculous wages, I guess)... he's already won everything there is to win, half of it by accident!
I'm kinda hoping Liverpool can find their form and looking forward to see how Rodgers/B-Rod will change the teams playing style. If he uses a similar style to that of the one he used at Swansea it'll be great for the fans and the league. If he gets the team pressing into the opponents which Liverpool have been pretty good at in the past imo, and add to taht a couple of signings, the team could be back fighting for a CL place.
