bulivye Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 i like that he puts a bit of pressure on opposing defenders & keepers he'll chase a bit trying to force an error, and i had to chuckle when he gave the sunderland keeper a bit of cold shoulder. carroll & lovencrayons for me, if oba ain't back...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 had a good game, looks 3 times the player sholagoals is...and we've just give that silly cunt a new contract, prolly sell carroll now and i disagree he ain't got goals in him as well, i think he'll make double figures with a regular game no bother at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought the lad had improved considerably since the last time I saw him`; his physical presence does unsettle defenders and that is something we have lacked for a long time. Also, his laying off of the ball, and bringing other players into the game has improved. IF he keeps at it, he could be a useful addition to the side because it seems to me that most of his problems have been related to his attitude... He is probably the type of player Shearer would have been able to develop, being a CF. At this stage, he could go either way - develop into a good player, or become like Ameobi, hyped up to the gunnells and then failing to reach his potential, but he is better than Ameobi in some ways right now.

La Parka Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought his hold up play was brilliant, is very good in the air. Didn't see much of him with regards to his shooting ability but seems to have a lot of key attributed which could make him a useful target man in the future. http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php looks like he is injured too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 He isn't the answer yet, far too one paced and lacking in technique. If only we could send him out on loan for a couple of season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Jumping for balls 10 minutes before they were knocked forward, what's all that about? Abysmal performance from our strike force, neither of whom are Premier League material. For anyone in any doubt that we need a striker, let yesterday be a stark reminder.

Dave Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_4913580,00.html Newcastle starlet Andy Carroll has turned down the club's offer of a new contract, skysports.com understands. The 20-year-old has made a big impact on Tyneside this term after breaking through into Joe Kinnear's first-team squad. Premier League goals against Manchester City and West Ham have firmed up the belief at St James' Park that Carroll could become a hugely valuable member of their squad. However, Newcastle's current offer of a five-year deal has been shunned by England youth international Carroll. The Gateshead-born front-man has two-years left on his current deal, but Newcastle are keen to extend that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 From what I heard it would put him eventually on £10,000 a week. He needs to prove he is a competant striker at premiership level before he can go demanding better wages tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Shame, he's looked good in the games I've seen him. Hopefully he'll change his mind when Owen fucks off and only really have to be better than Shola to get a start (assuming Viduka will be out injured or not given a new contract).

I don't blame him for knocking back a contract on those terms, I'm sure there's room for negotiation. He's a long way from being good enough yet IMO.

Guest Heneage Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If I was going to offer him anything it would be a one year extension with a higher appearance fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 But if he does go on to improve and becomes a good Premiership striker - 10k at the age of 25 would be very poor wages so I understand him knocking them back. Maybe, they just need to do something more incentive based as he lost his way for a while but seems to have got back on track recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The Skysports.com story looks like they have took their information from the Sunday Sun. Wouldn't say theres much in it at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The fact he has two years left on his current contract means there is nothing to see here yet. If he has turned down the offer fine, see if he improves over the rest of the season and consider a new contract offer further down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Better than Shola but nowhere near ready for the premier league, daft time to be offering new contracts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If I was going to offer him anything it would be a one year extension with a higher appearance fee. Yeah, agree entirely. He's done alright in very few appearances... we've made these sort of mistakes countless times before. There's a chance that next season he'll be fifth or sixth choice again.
