It's also impossible to argue against. Could be the new messi could be the new Jeffers. What we do know though is that Carroll, though flawed of character, is a decent player who loves it here
I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way as far as perceptions of Carroll go. He was never worth 35 but a bad season under the tutellidge of a certified loon (in which he steadily improved and ended up showing well at a major international tournament) doesnt mean he is worthless. 15m is a decent deal and if we keep ba and cisse too I'd welcome him back.
The club tend to play the long game and not pander to our impatience. E have seen that spectacularly backfire once but it has worked since and so I think they have earned some trust. It doesn't mean I'm not desperate for debuchy to sign - but I think we need to see how it pans out.
We signed colo 2 days before the first match of the season following a long 'saga'. I'm confident we'll make signings but also think we'll characteristically leave ourselves short in one key position. I'm plumping for striker.....
Bernard would be a keeper to be fair. Such a big decision who to get on your shirt...short and long term. Bit easier these days. Don't wear my Jose enrique one much these days
