Young completes Man Utd move

[Redman]

Andy Caroll more rounded?! He's basically Mark Hateley. Even my scouse mate concedes you got well and truly ripped off

Darren Bent: 17 goals and 2 assists in 36 appearances.
Andy Carroll: 13 goals and 6 assists in 26 appearances.

and for our respective clubs?

6 apps 2 goals int it?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

As mentioned earlier I think a percantage of the transfer fee will go to Watford, what percentage I don't know!

think its 15% but i've seen 25% mentioned! Whoever wrote that one in deserves a kicking.

We paid £8m for him that rose to £9.65m with the add-ons. Not sure Watford get any percentage of sale.

I don't know but clearly Bent has done better. But then he was fully fit the whole season.

The point is, determining the value of a striker isn't as simple as dividing the transfer fee by the number of goals.

I am pretty sure it is 25% of any profit on the deal. So assuming we paid 9mill and recieve 15mill for him. Watford would get a 1.5mill chunk.

pretty sure they do. think its 15-25% of anything over 10m. So we're probably looking at a profit on him of barely 4m

If your going on statistics, the signing of Bent kept us up with his goals whereas Torres and Carroll combined wouldn't have. I also think if Rafa is our new manager Sir Alex of chewingumdom might have to pay a bit extra to oil the wheels of the deal!

depends what you want i guess. Rush wasn't much more than a goalscorer but he fired you to god knows how many titles.

Absolutely. There's nothing wrong with an out-and-out goalscorer.

Rafa is a big fan of Bent, by the way. I'm pretty sure he was second-choice if we couldn't get Torres.

[JUAN PABLO]

Get Nzogbia in and take a chance on alex Chamberlain too.  He probably has the potential to be another Ash Young.

[Exeter 77]

It will be interesting to see if the move to Liverpool solves Carroll's 'off-field' problems.

Have you seen who his chaperone is in Barbados?!

Andy Carroll cost £35m and earns £85,000 a week I think. I doubt he'll ever be as prolific as Bent but he is more well-rounded and will earn his salary every week with his hold-up play, lay-offs and knock-downs.

More well-rounded? In what respect? He looks a bit one dimensional and strikes me as a bit of a moron judging by his court appearances and assaulting team mates. Granted he probably appears well rounded compared to Joey Barton but he strikes me as a ponytailed Duncan Ferguson.
