I'd have loved it if because we beat Blackburn 3-0 whilst Souness was 'between jobs' if we'd handed JC a 3-year deal and told Souey to fuck off. This was Shepherd, anything was possible.
Ferguson should be on our bench. I find Jonas' work-rate and ball-carrying abilities useful to the team, but having three shit forwards on the bench is pointless, I'd sooner have a genuine left-wing option that might make an impact on there.
PL teams Carroll has scored against:
West Ham
Stoke
Manchester City
Arsenal
Chelsea
Aston Villa
Blackburn Rovers
Wolves
Bolton
That's a canny looking list imo, bearing in mind that he's played against very few.
