Zabaleta is a left back.

When has Carroll ever been injury prone? Disregarding his first season at EPL, last year he missed out 6-8 league games due to injury (as far as I remember), this year he's out from mid December till mid February. To me it's enough to raise doubts. Probably not for others.

The risk about Carroll is his injury proneness. History proves that tall strikers tends to have more injuries. If Carroll is also an injury-prone player (his record wasn't very good here already), he'll never fulfill his potential that worhts 35m. In addition to that, once the injury brings permanent obstacles to his aerial powerness, he's finished. In fact, if I am the manager, I would rather make his training schedule become lighter rather than heavier.

6m is the max amount we should gamble on him. If it's higher than that, why not just buy an established international striker?

If we do not massively improve our squad this summer, Enrique should be granted a move to those mega clubs. He deserves more.

Woodgate injured again

He's good but he's definitely not a long-term solution. Even if we weren't relegated, we still have to find a new right back.

And now there's rumour: 8m to Lazio. Lots of people here will be very happy to drive him out ah?

Would rather play Airey / Spear...

Fxxk off. Miles worse than Carroll.

How much will Lacina Traore cost nowadays?

When he's demanding a new contract for a huge pay rise just 3 months after the last one, he already has no right complaining 'being forced out".

Seems like he is mentally weak - when motivated, he can play really well.

That's a very dangerous tackle to be honest. I could see Diaby's leg got broken like HBA.

I will say sorry to Liverpool if Carroll turns out to be a Woodgate. Honestly, the most expensive British transfer, 8th most expensive buy in history, for someone who may not be able to play over 20 games per season. It's even worse than a robbery

Hello but there were 10 other players on the pitch for us second half That's after half time. Even when we were down to 4 nil, Simpson was the only player battling hard. Even Barton and Tiote looks lost at that time.

The only one who never giveup within the 90 mins. Great, great attitude

I think it's official to say that Tiote is more important than Carroll at any time, any.

His halftime teamtalk deserves lots of credits.

The greatest comeback ever.

The collapse begins from Willicini. Colo is injured so I give him this time but WTF happened to Williamson? He looks like a dead man walking around, no intensity, no concentration, that's even worse than O'Brien. What happened to him?

Relegation here we come.

Lovenkrands in front of Ranger? Jesus christ.

I'd prefer to play Vukcic rather than Ireland.

I have a feeling that the club now will only sign players that are thoroughly scouted, e.g. Tiote. They'd rather not sign any player if they are not sure the player will be a hit. How does Ireland fit into that theory? Loan signings, e.g. Ben Arfa.
