I really thought we would have a problem in the summer regarding Andy Carroll.
West Ham have already tried to get the price reduced mentioning money constraints.
With what was just witnessed I feel that Newcastle might just need him more than the Hammers.
What this means for us is that was should be able to get his amortised value without any loss.
The new TV money might just make this summer an interesting prospect.
I wonder if Newcastle could get a player already on loan , on loan? Probably not but say west ham dont feel they need him for last six games of the season, maybe Newcastle could pay over the odds for a loan with a view to a buy... anything to get that carroll off the books.
