KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Andy Carroll: I was forced out of Newcastle!

He told the Evening Chronicle: "...[Managing director] Derek [Llambias] asked me to hand in a transfer request, so I was pushed into a corner and had no choice.

"I wasn't wanted by them and they made it clear they wanted the money."

He continued: "Then I flew down in (owner Mike Ashley's) helicopter. I didn't want to leave.

"I'm gutted that I wasn't wanted at my home team after everything I have done and the progress I have made.

"I didn't want to leave at all. Make sure they know I didn't want to leave.

"The players, staff and fans were fantastic."

Another half hearted player playing for revenge?

I feel sorry for him, but I hope he understands the passion of us Liverpool supporters, which unlike Newcastle, are much better. I hope, he's the next Carragher, who found something better in us, better passion that is.

quality, got rid of a player that didnt want to play for us and then we bought another!

He'll be fine when he settles, only young remeber and newcastle is his childhood team.

I believe he was forced out because of the ridiclious transfer fee we offered, but i do think he'll apply himself and will end up loving this club just as much if not more.

Again, I don't believe a word of it. This is just a face saving exercise here. A photographer took a sneak picture of Carroll in the car on his way to Melwood. He was smiling like it was his birthday. If he'd been forced out (not sure how that can actually happen) Don't you think he'd have been at least a little glum?

This story is utter nonsense. Once Carroll gets on the pitch at Anfield with the kop chanting his name, he wont be thinking of Newcastle.

Only understandable. Let's show him some hospitality and the type of fans that we can be.

Exactly. If he felt unwanted at the Toon then lets make him feel very wanted here at Liverpool.

we definitely will make him feel welcome. out of desperation!! we need this window to work for us. he simply has to succeed so we will give him all the support he needs.
