    We have enough to worry about without them making it look like Payet's got the runs

    very true Twist very true

    And now Sandra's gone and done her ankle in, a definite foul by 'Arry I'd say, what a plonker.

    Steve ;ok i just wonder how long we will put up with Carroll. The owners love him but can you really justify paying him wages when he's injured 80% of the time

    Can you really justify making stuff up?

    Only 10 weeks more to spurn out the Sakho injury before they can sell him.

    Sorry, 90% of the time..
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    In 3 and a half years he has made 57 appearances. (According to the internet, i haven't gone back and counted each game, so apologies in advance for being wrong)
  • LukerzLukerz
    Tbf, he should never have been given a 20 minute cameo on that state of a pitch.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    16/17 - 4 (1 EPL, 3 Europa) out of 13
    15/16 - 32 (27 EPL, 4 FAC, 1 LC) out of 51
    14/15 - 16 (14 EPL, 2 FAC) out of 43
    13/14 - 16 (15 EPL, 1 LC) out of 45

    Total 68 out of 150 so AC's been missing 55% of the time

    AC's got another two and a half seasons left on his contract, its reckoned he's on around £4m a year.

    We could buy him out for £10m although I guess he might take half as he's 27 and will probably be able to sign on a free to some Chinese club who'll pay his stonking great wages.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He'll go to another Prem team should he leave in the near future, possibly Newcastle.

    I hope he stays.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Get him fit for Jan and move him on.
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Bloke at work reckons he takes so long to heal as he drinks too much which would n't surprise me , a touch of the Bryan Robson's about him.

    Great idea. Before he goes to bed on New Year's Eve Slav can put Carroll under his pillow so when he wakes up the Football Fairy will have taken Carroll away and left £10m so he can buy a replacement striker.

    Its just that easy........

    Thing is he's been told by Sam and Bilic to focus on his football and professionalism.

    Still see him in the pub at 3am. Still see him on holiday every other week.

    Obviously not going in. But on £75,000 a week, it's not really his concern. He doesn't stop getting paid when injured.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Although a 3am McD's didn't do Cresserz any harm ;lol

    Never said it would, but getting him off the wage bill and in Jan when clubs go a bit mental with money might be able to get some money back from him.

    Sell Carroll + Sakho, if Zaza doesn't pan out then try the impossible and throw 30m for Icardi and see what Inter do.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So Icardi is going to score 10-12 goals after Christmas?
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Would probably play more than Carroll and Sakho combined I reckon. So would stand a better chance.

    Business during the winter transfer window is always less than the summer but even if this one does get "mental" I don't see any club being desperate enough to want to match Carroll's wage demands with his injury record. From what Slaven has said in interviews it seems that he regards AC as very much part of his plans and unless that changes I can see AC agreeing to a move away.

    Sakho asked for a transfer and we still couldn't get rid of him, he might never play for us again but unless we offer to pay him off he's going to be clogging up our wage bill. Maybe we can find a loan deal for the rest of the season like Valencia.

    Oh yeah, Valencia will be coming back at the end of the season, he's hardly played for Everton and he's another player with a contract until 2019.

    If Carroll never gets fit, if Sakho sails away with the fairies, if Zaza turns out to be rubbish (I hope he doesn`t cos there`s something about him I like) then why not give Fletcher and/or Martinez a proper run in the side. We also have Ayew due back very soon. A bit of a gamble maybe, but no more of a gamble than spending £30 million on someone who may or may not score goals. If by next summer we are still in the premier league, if we can hold on to the (very good) core we have ;pray then I think the Daves need to dig very deep and try for three or four top top class players rather than the slightly haphazard approach of this summer.

    I would still love Big Andy to stay and play just one whole season, but even I as his number one fan ;scary , can`t ever see this happening.

    Meant to say that if the Daves want top top players they will have to accept the fact that they are very very expensive in terms of fees and wages. ;scarf
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Gotta give up on Andy, unfortunately he's almost impossible to shift

    January is never a good time hopefully zaza will have settled and shown enough for us to take a chance

    Sakho who knows only people in the club will

    Would rather us save our money to attack the summer with ambition

    Top 6 is already too ambitious and unless something horrendous happens we won't finish bottom 3 so no rel need for go for broke

    With Cresswell & Ayew back we should be alight and fingers crossed one Carroll can come back or Zaza comes good
