Can see him going to West Ham.

Him for 8m or 18m for Carroll, even with age I know what option I'd choose and I like Carroll.

Glad he got a goal on his last appearance for us, thanks Darren.

Anyway we need to keep him as season after next he could play in the games before and after champions league fixtures!
Yes or replace Benteke when he goes off to pastures new!

Same as usual then. If he was getting 2 a game instead of one every 2 games that would be ok. As  it is is the paucity of his all-round contribution that says he's not for us.

Resurrected an old thread as it certainly seems like he's off.

That's harsh - he saved us from releagation 2 years ago.  Ireland should be cleaning the toilets, after Hutton has been in there

I agree. He hasn't caused issues whilst on the bench and what happens if no one stumps up the £8 million. Do we just let him sit there and rot when for me he can still do a job.

Very, very harsh. Unless he is causing an issue of course.

Too harsh for me. Unless there are unknown factors at work it seems needless. I guess there goes my dream of him staying on next season and striking up a good partnership with Benteke :(
