Here's a thought. How many of the current premier league strikers would you take as a straight swop for Carrol?
There arent many. There-in lies his true value
Its the Toon way.
We do well. We are the best.
We do badly. We are the worst.
Player scores a goal. Best the world has ever seen.
Player makes mistake. He should be shot.
Manager wins a game. Messiah.
Manager loses a game. Manager Out.
please dear budda, when smith has the ball, and has a mackem in front of him.....
please...
please...
please...
dont panic and roll it straight to him....
please....
Better than anyone we have other than Carrol
Capello scouts must also have seen something in him
not a gamble if cheap and a good edition if Carrol is out
Blessing in disguise
Why would we spend money and wages on someone that is only ever so slightly better than Raylor?
Raylor cant beat his man
Raylor has a good cross
Raylor is a dead ball specialist
Rather spend the few pennies we have where its absolutely urgent
its amazing how slow and uncreative our midfield is with smith in it
whats the point of having a midfield if we just hoof it? rather stick on an extra striker and hoof over the midfield
who the hell are you? and did you just register to post such bollocks?
no need to be a twat? i thought i was make a pretty valid point. he did represent england as a striker did he not?
if he HAD TO PLAY in the team, i would rather it was as striker than as midfielder
he was an english international as a striker, cant be such a mad choice considering a) we dont have strikers and b) at least he wont fark up the midfield
I voted Disgusted above as im terrible angry at his appointment....
but here is a thought....
2 years back, if you had a choice between Houghton and Pardew, who would you have chosen?
