Not that you were serious Dave, but a player like Remy would be a totally different matter as he can play in many different positions/roles whereas Carroll the big tree has to play centrally.
Much much rather have him than Carroll, has more pace and technically a lot better as well. Would suit our team/squad well as he can play in many positions.
To add to my "hunch" Pardew mentioned that we waited for an answer from Hoilett, just find it hard to believe that it's our strategy (going our in public regarding Toilet)
Said this just after the breaking news about us going for Carroll, and not so long after, this stuff about Anita/Douglas and no bids made. Quite a long shot i know. Hunch hunch.
