So as i understand it, west ham are paying us £2million pounds now and then if they stay up, then £17million next summer. Now what i don't understand is, is that a contract that can't be broken? If Carroll goes to West Ham and scores 30 goals next season, are we entitled to either ask for more money or say no we want to keep him now. Or, in a different scenario, if he plays rubbish for West Ham and they stay up, do they have to sign him?
If no whats the point in agreeing a fee now? there's nothing to stop West Ham from saying 'oh yeh we'll give you £17million next summer' and then making up some excuse saying 'sorry but we can't afford to complete the deal.' then we get nothing from the deal.
btw, he'll do quality there, i have no doubt. the football they play there suits him down to the ground.

They have an option to buy. They probably won't take it up, nor will Caroll want to go there permanently, unless he really enjoys it

I imagine we can tell AC to reject the permanent move because we want him back in the first team under those circumstances.
The risk is he tells us to do one...which he'd be quite right to in my opinion.

I bet Fat Sam is licking his lips at the prospect of being able to play AC. Watch how his goal tally goes up with the right service.

Just like how his goal tally was breath taking with Kenny's tactics last season?

I'm really disappointed he's going

carroll will score a lot for west ham i reckon. i suppose if he does that his value would increase so we could get more next summer whether that's from west ham or not. if we can get someone quality in tommorrow then fair play. if its just dempsey, i'll be very sceptical

we need a centreforward
right now we have 0
And the biggest link is to an AM from Fulham
I'm still excited for the season and like the style we're playing A LOT
But we don't have a single proper striker at the moment.
