I didn't know there were quotes to Andy Carroll's claims of not wanting to leave Newcastle. Interesting.
They're from the Guardian mate. But they weren't put up to discredit Andy at all - I'm delighted that he's here.
However, throughout this whole Aquilani debate the main protagonists argument against his return has been their interpretation that he would not perform because he would sulk, or be a bad influence (in the dressing room or on the pitch, or both) because he would prefer to be at Juve. Quite simply he would not perform because we would be his second choice.
I just wondered how that related to Andys comments. Fordy, to be fair has answered. The fact that his answer, IMO, is just evasive rubbish, (almost Xerxes like in fact) I suppose is just that - only my opinion.
AA played for the club he loved and moved to us but now wants to go to Juve.
No, he's already at Juve. Purslow and Hodgson sent him there. I cant recall him asking to leave the club he was at to go there.
