Sounds like Big Andy is dragging his heels and saying he wants to stay and fight for his place. Possibly trying to force a move back to Newcastle? Not sure. Either way, I like Carroll (was never worth what we paid for him, of course) and will wish him all the best wherever he goes.
Not exactly made up about the Coates situation. Think he'll be a boss centre-back somewhere.
I want Pepe to stay, absolutely no doubt. Especially if we replace him with somebody like Vorm or Begovic.
