Is football going mad....
 
Again....:eek!:


Torres £50 million and Carroll £38 million.....:eek!:


Both not worth that sort of money (actually who is ? )


Football and the Premiership has once again gone mad...

Taylormade it looks like your team is looking for a new centre forward 8-P

Tony2005 January 31st, 2011 17:00

Just heard that Newcastle have put in a £28 million bid for...



Emille Heskey....o:D

It's been stupid for along time .. But what I dont understand is, why is it with a recession and cut backs and wage freezes for the rest of us ..Football can do what the fck it likes and the 'backhanders' that are going on, the FA are just as bad as FIFA , the whole football system stinks !!:smoke:

taylormade February 1st, 2011 16:45

What can I add, I think Andy Carol is worth £38 million to liverpool,they are currently on a downward slide and he will help them stay in top half of table until they can rebuild a decent team.Newcastle are planning on altering their style of play,we are going back to beautiful football,like in the old days with keegan,waddle,beardsley,ginola.unfortunately in the mean time we will have to make do with beating mackems 5-1 and humilating them again in a 1-1 draw at stadium of shyte. Whole game is mad , sometimes think i would be better off watching/supporting whitley bay.

I think Liverpool have done the right thing brining in a player from the premier league but panic brought for £38 million


Carroll has the look of a player who will be great one day but that takes time and thats one thing Liverpool dont have.


Newcastle had no option but to sell at that price just as Liverpool had to sell Torres for £50 million


As long as Newcastle dont go into free fall i think the money could be well spent in the summer and this could be a great thing for the club


bennythedip2 February 1st, 2011 19:12

I dont get it !
 
There's no money at grass root level in this country, I go to small clubs (business) in the minor leagues, also Wycombe Wanderers, and who ever you talk to on the staff whether it be from the 'bar' or ground staff they all give the same answer ...'There's no money coming in, takings are well down, and as for kids football, there's no incentive other than volunteers who help out ..
OK, it's not the same for Wycombe because the also share with 'London Wasps' but thats another story, that game is as strong a ever ....

Lets see if Plymouth get wound up next week because they need 1/2 million to avoid the liquidator, but over the next two or three years, it's for sure some of the lower league clubs will get wound up, and maybe that would start a pyramid collapse, leaving only a few divisions and a Northern and Southern league for lower divisions ...

Football will soon be run by the banks .. then we the tax payer will have to bail the clubs out if we want football, like the govenment had us bail them out :brains:

In January 225 million in transfers :girl: Football will implode on itself soon ..

fckin mental :h?:

Tony2005 February 1st, 2011 20:59

I think EVERY team in the premier league should give money to say a second division team to keep them going....


So each premier club would have a sister club in the second division who they are responsable for....


The championship teams should each have one in the third division...


Then they could loan out players if needed and give the youth players at the bigger clubs a chance...:brains:



bennythedip2 February 1st, 2011 21:39

hmmm Yes Tony .. but
 
There's to much greed, Agents , Club Owners, Managers ..
You cant blame the players for being greedy, everyone at the big clubs are being encouraged to sign for more to keep all the wheels oiled ...

Your idea is great, BUT the 'fat cats' wont do it, it will affect their off-shore Swiss bank accounts, with investments to oil , banking and electricity .. Everything is linked to high business profit's and with football there is a very BIG 'grey' area, where cash can be offset against tax claims for individuals :brains:

I think this will shake things up a bit.

Quote.."The exclusivity agreement relating to transmission of football matches are contrary to European Union law," she said in her opinion.:loveme:
Quite right to ..fck Murdoch and his rip-off Sky media corporations and monopolies ...

I saw an article this week about an american baseball player being praised by everyone because he quit and gave his club back a $7.5m salary rather than to sit in a physio room for the next 12 months. I thought it was a bit much fuss for the Archbishop of New York to praise him personally.... as surely anyone would not be that greedy.

But then I saw this

Sorry Benny (although you probably agree) but what an A***

tiredeyes February 4th, 2011 12:05

Andy Carroll is never worth £35m, well played Newcastle, I'd of snapped Liverpools hands of at £15m.
I reckon he'll be a big flop, once the premiership defenders get used to his heading ability he has nothing else, he's no Pele thats for sure, again well done Newcastle for getting £35m, bigger flop than Juan Sebastian Veron for £28m, mark my words.

Oh and fingers crossed, the mags plummet like stone :D luckily there are three worse teams in Wigan, Wolves and WBA, sneaky feeling Blackpool will survive the drop after doing a "Hull"

Tony2005 February 4th, 2011 13:11

In fairness Tom...to be worse then Veron that would only be possible if Carroll never kicked a ball again....:eek!:


When he came to Chelsea everyone thought he was going to be one off the all time greats but like many of Chelseas big money signings he flopped within a couple of games....:eek!:


They paid his wages for two seasons when he went out on loan.....:eek!:


Chelsea have signed bundles of flops since Roman has been there...


MUTU

SHEVCHENKO

KESMAN

VERON

DEL HORNO

DECO


But theres only really one that stands out for me at around £28 million...


SEAN WRIGHT PHILIPS......Surely the most over rated footballer ever to be transfered for so much money in Premier League history..


10 goals in 124 apperances for Chelsea ....


4 goals in 81 games for Chelsea in the premier league a total he beat in the first month when he went back to City....o:D



bennythedip2 February 4th, 2011 22:21

Yes Captain
 
I agree Captain, fat greedy lazy bassa :-C

taylormade February 5th, 2011 10:28

I agree too, Tiredeyes hasnt got a clue about football,unfortunately after watching midweek game against Fulham,Im a bit worried about short term future as we showed nothing all game,it was like watching sunderland, Andy carrol will always get goals and be a threat when hes out on the lash,he has a tremendous right hook and will cause problems for merseyside police force on more than one occassion,football is greed and Im fast becoming tired of it,

tiredeyes February 6th, 2011 13:59

Andy Carroll was 6th best scorer in a Championship side that topped the division, only 6th !!!!!

Scores 11 this term, probably the form of his life and is suddenly he's worth £35m !!

taylormade February 6th, 2011 14:29

liverpool paid the money,so thats what hes worth,hes 22 yrs old,he has many strong points as a striker,liverpool need a strong forward and the deal they done was excellent,two quality players in .who will compliment each other and an injury prone striker out is a good deal. unlucky yesterday tired,did you enjoy the comeback of the century at st james park ?
