Carrol on loan to West Ham for 2m with a 17m fee if they stay up. Or something like that.
 
West Ham United have agreed a £2m loan fee with Liverpool for Andy Carroll.

The deal for the England striker is with a view to a permanent transfer of £17m, providing West Ham United stay in the Premier League.

More to follow.

From the bbc.

Wonderful piece of business for Liverpool that. Having a striker for 18 months - in which he hardly scores a goal. And probably got about £6 millioner in wages - and then they give him away for half the price.

£23 million to have a useless player for 18 months...

Absolute lunacy. He was starting to look the part for them at the tail end of the season. I hope he scores a hat trick against them bastards.

Atleast they are offloading him and getting 19m back and saving a further 10m+ on wages.
Profit.

Seriously though. Stupid move by West Ham. What a waste of money.

Cant play against Liverpool while he is there on loan.

Ah shit.
 
Why don't West Ham use that money to rebuild their squad and how do they have that much to spend on one player anyway?
 
Well they just got promoted so theoretically that earned them an extra 10-15m in TV money that they didn't have last year. Should they stay up they get more money next year again, so they burn some that on Carroll, which is a quasi-justifiable decision.

It's not a crazy deal on their part, if it wasn't for the fact it's Andy Carroll and £17m.
 
Carroll will be well worth them having for a year. He could help stabalise them as a premier league club and guess what, if he doesnt play like a £17 million player they arent stuck with him. Next summer they can replace him
 
guys this is the Twitter thread, take it to one of the Andy Carroll threads if you want to discuss the merits of the fee
 
He's a Big Sam type of player. West Ham will just be playing long ball 90% of the time.
 
I might be quite wrong, but I just can't see Juventus offering that much money. They generate a bit more than half of our revenue, have a wage/turnover percentage of about 90 and need to get rid of a few players before pulling off a major signing like this. Can't see it really, though you never know with the cheating Italians... they always find a way to balance the books (well, not really).
 
I don't understand the use of the coordinating conjunction 'so' in that tweet?

My understanding:

United has a strong bid in place. Juve must up their bid, and will do so, in reaction to United's bid.
 
@johncrossmirror: #mufc supremely confident on RvP so Juve set to launch major new bid. #afc confident on Cazorla, hopeful on Sahin: http://t.co/vKXNsx6L

How can he say we're "supremely confident" of signing him then say "Sir Alex Ferguson is confident of landing Van Persie for United, even though they are reluctant to pay in excess of £15m" in the article... nonsense.

Maybe we're confident the player will accept our financial package and on top of that we've bid a sum which is acceptable for Arsenal as well? Juventus might see their main transfer target slipping through their fingers and therefore try a last attempt. Very unlikely IMO, but I guess that's what he wanted to say.

Both #Sunderland and #QPR looking at loan then buy options for Javier Hernández from #United. #MUFC #SAFC #Football
 
This is a twitter thread but surely people like "Agent_ITK" don't even count in the twitterverse? He's an obvious feckwit.
