Official £18.6m for Carrick (Madness)

If i was MJ i would be smiling all the way to the bank, what a bit of business by Levy.

ManUre have had the piss taken out of them (hope they get there money back when they sell on just like RVN bought for £20m sold for £10m stupid barstards)

Who can we buy now i wonder, i love it what a day it's going be taking the piss out of one our rivals, roll on next season we going to rock.

I know, Carrick's actual value is really £10million less! I can't really believe we've managed to get them to overspend by such a massive amount!

Seems like a bit of a panic buy to me, with their fans all pissed coz they ain't signed no-one yet...

[Chinaman]

Well, I've no complaints as we get paid mega bucks as well as having our problems with a congested midfield solved. It also helps to speed up our midfield play.

[Chinaman]

Just forgot to add that we've been having tough luck for so many years on so many different issues that this moment of good fortune makes up for all of it. Hopefully this is the start of our run of good fortune.

This was a brilliant sale on our part, and a reminder of the clubs ambition to compete with the best. With all the young English talent on the team, every other club will be paying out their a-s-s for our players.

i'd like to know how much the hammers got. we probably only got 10m up front, but i think he was expendable. rather him than defoe or king.

[laspur]

I think I read somewhere the hammers get 15% from the Carrick sale.

[Billywhizz]

15% of £18.7m = £2.8m i think, there be paying half of that on Bowyers wages. good to know they will end up with more or less **** all.

Love it, it just keeps getting better.

[Welsh Spur]

£2.8M represents what we paid for him in the first place, so if you think about it, he's actually cost us over £5M....but, all is good, at least we have £15M to blow!

the more i think about it, the more happy I get about this transfer... At first I was pissed off, but now i just think it's a great deal of business.. And now Hudd will get more first team chances, and he will soon become a better player then carrick..
