Scott Mcdonald linked with Boro? I'd take him in an eyeblink.

Barton will be back soon, a CM isn't the main priority.

If it was a possiblity, he'd be at Preston.

Eh? I don't have any concerns, I couldn't care less about any of this, it's all a non-issue to me. As for Capello being a 'staunch catholic', what does that have to do with anything i've said. I've merely said that Terry should stay England captain. I never said that would happen. As for the part in bold, i've actually no idea what you're going on about.

What sort of comparison is that, mate?

Would f***ing love it. Certainly better than Best. f***ing hell.

He has no media hype like our 'very good players' such as Nolan, Smith and Butt.

Was Bridge even with the girl at the time? Serious question.

:-[ Thanks.

Williamson is a first choice CB pro-tem with Taylor out, i'd rather him than Kadar. And Van the man would appear to be a better LB than anyone we have available for the next month.

Carroll has 0 in 0 England games, you really are an idiot! I have only seen him play a few times, cant say he stood out(aside from a cracking goal v Pompey) but we can only judge him in OUR team not a crappy Coventry one. If his record is a problem to anyone it should be said its better than Moses' Doing me proud recently, Rog!

Arena of Light?

So far all the players we've signed have been better than those they've displaced in the squad. But there's still work to be done today if it's to be considered a 'good window' imo.

Billytray described him as 'lazy and inconsistent' and while back I think.

Peter Beardsley scored 9 goals in 59 England appearance. Andy Carroll's England record is clearly better. Therefore, his clearly much better than Beardsley. Alan Shearer scored 23 goals in 118 appearances at Southampton. Therefore, Any Carroll and Shearer are almost identically talented. [/Ronaldo] Please think about what you say. If you know f*** all about football then that is fair enough but please stop pretending you do. What? I was asking a genuine question of those who've seen him play. Carroll has 4 in the championship this season in a team sitting first, Best has twice that figure in a mid-table side.

I'm not saying he's better than Beckford for one second, I honestly don't know if he is or not. But he's 3 years younger and more proven than Jermaine. It's very daft imo that the same posters writing him off completely want us to pay £3m for Beckford.

Shak mentioned he's often offside for Ireland and said that he's worse than all of our strikers, which looking at his record seems preposterous.

Aye, it's ridiculous. But the type of rubbish you expect on here these days.

Because Gareth Barry won't wear a t-shirt? I really can't see this having an adverse effect on the player's respect for him, i'm sure most of them have done something equally as bad.

Most championship strikers are an improvement on Carroll. 3.5 year deal does sounds ridiculous tbh, still just a rumour at this stage though.

Lets wait till 5PM, but I certainly expected nowt better.

Sounds like a massive improvement on our most used striker.

I've seen him play twice I think, (Pompey game last month and once earlier in the season) so I can't really comment tbh, he appeared to be good though. Genuine question: If he's inferior to 'every one of our current strikers', why does he have twice the league goals that Carroll does in a considerably lesser team?

Grow up man.

All i'm saying is, we're not in a good position to sign premiership players as things stand. Hughton is part of that.
