Carroll not much good at dropping deep? Not true.

At least it's practical. A popular view on here is that you just fill your outfield positions with technically solid players and they'll always create and score goals.

Even with Raylor taking them we wouldn't score.

Virtually no chance, sadly.

Me too. This sudden good form might make others raise their head mind. I think he'd be a good buy at the right price. Unplayable on his day. Would benefit Cisse too. 100%.

Don't think Gouffran will ever work in that position, tbh. If we're buying Carroll it's basically to get him out of the first Xl.

I get the impression that we've wanted Carroll back for some time and there's some money set aside for his transfer.

I'll never tire of this. I really hate the 'kick him when he's down' mentality on here at times (the irony, lol) but this is gold.

The poll really needs to be changed, like.

Just got a flashback of scoring headers from crosses. I'm pretty fucking confused.

Probably Sewelly. Parky was saying it the other day. Utter weirdo that he is.

He'd get grief on here for not being good enough on the ball.

Who rates him these days?

It's a combination of awful organisation, poor delivery, and, in particular, lack of willing and able attackers of the ball.

Who's got a big nose?

He's still a kid for a CB, though, with loads to learn. He'll need a physical defender alongside him for a long, long time. Wish people would stop pretending there's a chance of Colo being here next year, like. It won't look very good when he leaves in late August and the same people accept there was a lack of time to find an adequate replacement.

It's either "lack of stamina" or "carrying a knock". He can't just be playing badly. He can't be! Of course he's playing badly. He's been dreadful for weeks.

In Ronaldo's eyes it is. I think it's been since somebody compared Yo Cabs favourably to ol' Frankie Lamps. Don't think anyone's daft enough to have done that, tbh. Chalk and cheese.

Is that 7.3% really an approval? I think it probably represents a fair few who never had faith in him in the first place.

He's a much better 'footballer' than Tiote and is (this bit is funny) better physically than Anita. We could've done with him. When he's at his best he's a really good Footballer, but it was very rare. I know, but I'd rather have him at his average this season than the two mentioned.

Pace isn't everything if you're not able to compete shoulder-to-shoulder. I have more faith in Taylor than anyone else.
