Massively massively overrated player. Terrible technique.

Only a prize idiot would sell Carroll now for £2 million.

Not since 2005. They used to seem to get quite a lot of stuff right. not so much now.

Exactly this. provides decent cover that we need. No point buying a player that isn't good enough for the Premiership and if we do go up, we should be able to attract a better calibre of player to the ones we can now. Sensible decision.

Viana a fan's favourite?? No-one liked Viana. Which is a shame because he was actually quite good.

We are hardly comparing Zidane with Maradona here, but I genuinely can't see much of a discernible difference in the touch of the two players. My opinion is that Carroll is technically better.

Don't really understand how Shola comes in for criticism for his touch in comparison to Carroll. Neither are impressive but at least Shola has some ability on the floor, whereas Carroll has just looked a big clumsy lunk mostly. Zactly. As if Shola has a better touch than Carroll..

With the players we have, we should be top of the league. I would say he has done what should be expected of him to be honest.

Parker was underrated, if anything.

Sorry, I don't agree, I think he was anything but limited with his technical ability. He was a proper knob though. He showed a remarkable inability to pass a ball more than 5 yards, shoot with any kind of accuracy or indeed even control a football. I think there was even a quote to that effect in one of SBR's books. As a team we played best when we brought him on as an impact sub in the last 20 mins of a match.

No question really - Dyer every single time. Such a technically limited player should ever be rated. By anyone.

Dyer and Gerrard

based on? Just based on what someone told me. Apparently Nolan was fairly disparaging of Shearer as a person and a manager. Not saying it's 100% true mind you.

I'd heard fairly reliable rumours that Nolan was meant to hate Shearer - odd that they would be out drinking together.

Both awfull, will get destroyed in the EPL. Yeah... both awful.... What are you on?
