Why on earth would you rather have Owen?

Don't see how someone who has scored 9 goals in his last 60 games is good for anyone, too much nostalgia and romanticism involved with Carroll for my liking and not enough clear thinking. We'd start attacking set-pieces, for a start. And it would get Jonas out of the team. Good partner for Cisse, to We would get raped if we tried that..... 2 strikers who don't drop deep and don't run behind and the 2 midfielders would get overrun at will. We cannot play 4-4-2 without natural width or having a striker who drops deep or runs in behind.... not to mention we would have 6 midfielders who never play. I never said I wanted to play 4-4-2. Carroll doesn't drop deep? Cisse doesn't run behind? What?

Need to send some of our lot to him asap, injured or not.

I can easily see him being back this summer, like.

Think he'll come back sooner rather than later. Think it'll be good for us, too.

No issue with him playing 15 minutes here and there. Problem is, he can't start games, and for that reason he shouldn't be any higher than 4th choice.

Try 25 years and you'd be right. They've been a non entity since winning the Cup. It's a shame, I always liked them when they were in the PL. Especially when they had Big Oggy in net.

Cheers. X

Funny how Peter fking Lovenkrands managed 3 league goals in the time Owen scored 0 and generally spent his time hiding behind defenders. You can't blame Kinnear, Hughton or whoever for that.

Freddie was a likeable man.

Will Krul not be back?

Im sorry, but what? Ethical obligations of a club captain? That's more important than his obligations as a husband then? The truth is that we don't know what the fuck is going on with Colo, but I have enough faith in human decency to give someone that has always been a model pro to not be low enough to lie about his wifes health. Well, we'll see, but I don't think it has a thing to do with his wife other than she wants to go back to Argentina too.

Feel real sorry for Coventry fans. For the best part of a decade they've been witnessing a slow crawl towards obscurity.

Him and a fair few other youngsters that 'came through' around that time.

Nobody cares that he went home while injured.

Mick's posts are the ultimate in being tenuous to irrelevant when his argument hits a wall, like. Shearer on a Jet Ski, ffs. Anyway, I think a lot of this discussion comes down to differing notions of what a club captain should be. Each to their own. Pretty sad what people are prepared to accept, though.

Nobody accused him of being an idiot. He's basically performed his contractual obligations, just not the ethical obligations of a club captain of a struggling PL team that's paid a large sum of money for him and to him.

One of the most level-headed posters on here just presented you with a list.

No coincidence he's playing so much better now he doesn't have to play the all-action role. Wonderful player when it's simply his job to keep the ball, occasionally win it and wait for the right pass.

If there's a fan out there that think he isn't doing anything wrong, they're not a true NUFC fan imo. He's supposed to be our captain. Can you imagine the laughing we'd do if a captain of one of the big sides or a rival announced he wanted to piss off for free to play in Argentina halfway through a season like this? I see it as a breach of his position that he'd happily sit in the sun watching us get relegated, which would've happened without January's investment.

No, I wasn't, but one game doesn't prove a point. Plenty of returning players have had great receptions. I hated Loven as a player but gave him his due when he left and would gladly clap him if he returned to SJP.

Both are in the same bracket as managers imo.

Don't remember Ba, Guthrie, Loven or Best getting much if any abuse when they left. In fact, who's abusing Colo? I think he's a coward and I stand by that conviction. I've no wish to dig the knife in, especially when it's a player I've supported massively on here and at the game.

Look at the state of that, man. Shame they didn't get a good kicking.
