wtf?
It totally answers your question.
You think that Carroll will be a better player than Shola because the latter didn't develop properly? What absolute nonsense.
He's not even saying that
Also Carroll's hold up and link up play is miles better than Shola's was at his age.
If this story is true, along with whatever else we've heard about Kevin Nolan, he seems to be just the kind of guy you want playing for your club. Good stuff
