Today the striker poured his heart out as the club explained why they “reluctantly” allowed their prized asset to leave when he submitted a written transfer request after they initially rejected bids from Liverpool.
“He told me that they are now not going to give me a contract. That was as soon as the offer of £30m came in.
“So I asked why (I wasn’t getting a new contract) and he said his hands were tied.
“He said it wasn’t up to him. Then a £35m bid got accepted.
“And then I was allowed to talk to Liverpool. The owner then made it clear to me that I was not wanted at the club.
“Saying that his own helicopter is waiting for me to go down to talk to them.
“So being shown I’m not wanted I said OK I will talk to them. Then suddenly the bid was rejected.
“And then Derek asked me to hand in a transfer request. So I was pushed into a corner and had no choice.
“I wasn’t wanted by them and they made it clear they wanted the money.
“Then I flew down in his (Ashley’s) helicopter. I didn’t want to leave.
“I’m gutted that I wasn’t wanted at my home team after everything I’ve done and progress I’ve made.
“I didn’t want to leave at all. Make sure they know I didn’t want to leave.
“The players, staff and fans were fantastic.”
The lad he came from Tyne & Wear, Carroll Carroll,
he's big and hard but cost us dear, Carroll, Carroll,
We got him to replace the lad from Spain, you know the one, forgot his name,
Andy Carroll, Liverpool's number 9,
