I was just a bit shocked of why it had any relevance to the discussion..... Also i don't feel i'm a European know-it-all i only really watch PL, La Liga and Serie A and CL and EL ( which is the reason i have seen some dutch based players play) I know a fair bit considering a watch a lot of football but i don't consider much a European football master mind. If i were maybe i could come up with more names that fit the criteria that has been asked, i just would like to see a striker who could play out wide instead of a target man like Carroll i don't see what's wrong with that. Ok maybe i might have come of a bit aggressive with my opinion and it might have rubbed some people the wrong way, but the core reasons of why i would prefer a different type of striker to Carroll a fair reasons IMO.

I just stated the type of player that i'd like to see us go for, i don't have to state names because that isn't my job. All i want is a forward who can play wide so we can stick to 4-2-3-1/4-3-3. Carroll can only play 1 position. I have never been against Carroll's ability as a player and what he can bring i'm against his attitude, his tactical versatility and his price. But because my opinion is different, i'm a football manager freak and a foreigner who has no right to give his opinion on the team he has supported since he was 4 years old. Tbf, if you've only been supporting us for 10 years, you should be able to remember how good Carroll was. Try 18 years smart arse Plus of course i remember how good Carroll was, but i'm convinced that Carroll cant be replicated on a regular basis. Carroll was the go to guy in that team and everything was built for him, now he would just be another player and i'm not sure he could perform to the same level in such a scenario. Anyway i have said many times why i dont want Carroll and its not for ability reasons. It's for tactical, attitude and financial reasons. Where then, it's honestly not a problem if it's not Fenham but the way you're avoiding the question has made it an issue. I'm from the outskirts of London if you must know, but i don't see why that has any relevance to this situation. It's not like i'm against Carroll for personal reasons or ability reasons like i have been accused of..... i'm against him because i feel fee and wages wise he costs too much, attitude wise he could cause a problem in the dressing room and tactically i would prefer to see a striker who can play across the front 3 or in the very least wide left.

I'm sorry, but that's not our job. You can't discount the opinion of anyone that disagrees with you because we are incapable of coming up with a viable alternative. I am just confident we could do better. So yoy've got no answer then. Thought so. . Maybe we should see if Peter Beardsley fancies one last season. I have answers but what's the point in even coming out with random names which fits the criteria when the club probably are not even scouting them. I don't have to come out with a short list of players that fit the criteria just because you disagree with it. What is wrong with wanted a striker that can play wide so he can play centrally in a 4-4-2 or wide in a 4-3-3? like Remy for example just to shut you up.

Your getting tired of what exactly? the fact i dont want him because he costs far too much and would rather someone who is versatile and fits more than one system and can play in more one position. Dont see what the problem with that is. Also why does where i'm from matter? Also i dont even play football manager

unless it's mainly based on cost or tactics, which is fair enough and a different argument. That's exactly why i dont want him

Oh ffs, i really hope we don't get him ( obviously)

Class

who ever thought up these rules has some serious issues.

Krul

1 season wonder, get rid etc etc

Bit unfair on Sammy and Abeid IMO but agreed on Vuckic he has disappointed me.

It was Almfao i think. Was it? fail lol, looked like Santon from a distance. Fantastic cross none the less

Fantastic cross from Santon.

Jinxed it

This ref is f*cking awful.

Yep, he's done decent tonight but i dont see anything special in him to suggest he will be a good player in the long run.

Clearly based on 5 mins of play but Obertan looks much better on the left

Gotta love a diagonal to Williamson that never ever works

So happy for Saylor, but have to say that was great work from Gosling in the build up.

Shola

Amazing how when Williamson doesnt play we hardly see a long ball and when he does play we see a long ball inside the first 30 secs

If only this were the case
