Aye. It's a total liability.

Marveaux is.

As if we're gonna play Benfica away without a defensive mid in the side.

Having an effect on games would be nice at some point.

Probably the right team.

You're wasting your energy, man. Not gonna happen, and I'm glad. Pardew's a shit tactician and all that but I'd rather him than that thief.

Love the fact you say 'the likes of Gouffran' when you're referring specifically to Gouffran and nobody else.

Aye, Ashley and Llambias recruiting someone respected for their achievements. Likely.

A 'fully qualified lawyer' because he has a law degree from some Mickey Moose Croat uni? Aye, right. Redknapp's such an abomination.

He doesn't have a clue what he's doing. His rigid, defensive setup however has nullified the slower pace we've encountered from European teams thus far.

Carroll is very capable of bringing other, more potent players into the game off scraps. He'll also attack the corners that our lot put their heads down for. You never saw that based on his Newcastle performances so you must be referring to his time at Preston and Liverpool. Never watched him there so i'll have to take your work for it. I saw it clearly in the final year of his Newcastle career and occassionally since. Nice try, though.

Let's just say Carroll was in the team this season instead of Jonas. I think we'd score another 15 goals at least through Carroll and the chances he'd knock down for others. I'm happy for the team just to be effective in the final third.

There's also 4-1-3-2.

Bit of a moot point when we all know which of the two would prefer to be at NUFC next season. Just like we all know that as brilliant as Colo's been, he came here for the money and in all likelyhood hasn't been offered similar elsewhere.

Barca could do with Gerrard blasting it over the bar at every opportunity.

And who's advocating a permanent return to 4-4-2? Not one person that I've seen.

Having the option that Carroll presents, or potentially presents, was a huge factor in our top 2 finishes under Keegan/Daglish and our best seasons under Bobby. No good striving for this carpet football notion when neither the manager nor the players can fulfill it.

Just feels like we're right for him and he's right for us.

I've no problem with Cisse, Carroll and Hatem (lol) alternating as a front 3.

Carroll is very capable of bringing other, more potent players into the game off scraps. He'll also attack the corners that our lot put their heads down for.

Useless cunt.

Think we badly need Perch in midfield against this lot. God Almighty.

At 18M? I don't think he's worth that, if that's what you're asking, mate.

Seems to me that people don't want to sign him largely because of the style of play it would imply. Personally I think he's exactly what we need. If we can sign him and a CB to replace Colo I'd be massively in favour.
