junkhead Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Has already scored in the prem So has Chopra. Carroll isn't a premiership player yet, that's all i'm saying. and you're wrong. again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 He's a premiership player at this moment in time? I'd like it to be true but there's nowt whatsoever to support it. Anyone who thinks we should start him next season needs a reality check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 He's lethal in the air and will only get better. Shola has been starting matches in the PL for ten years now, don't see why Carroll can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can only improve by playing against better defenders, if he doesn't... well, we'll make a profit selling him on. That is if we don't go all Shola Tombola and give him random prizes/new contracts.

Anyone who thinks we should start him next season needs a reality check. Does playing 29 games in the PL not count anymore like? Fair enough the first couple of seasons, where it was here and there. But last year i thought he looked very promising in the PL, albeit relegated. So with a year behind him of CCC first team football where he's proved he can do a job, that experience should definately come in handy for him with the confidence & goals etc. However i'm not saying we don't need to buy any strikers, 'cos we do imo, we've got Xisco coming back, Best & Ameobi, who tbh, aren't upto standard. Fair enough Ameobi has atleast proven in the past he's scored in the PL and europe, but i (and most likely others) just don't think he gives as much to the team as Andy Carroll has done, plus he's injury prone and about 30 years old etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Carroll needs to be starting next year - since January has been superb. Sylvan ebanks-blake was superb all season in a lesser team, your argument has no substance. Carroll's not ready to be our main man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 If possible we need to be buying a new forward partnership. Wouldn't be the end of the world if we only purchase the one fast striker to play off Carroll but if the moneys there, go for a better target man aswell as in reality Carroll just doesn't have the ability to be an above average Prem striker.

Ronaldo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 That all depends on how much money we've got. Kevin Doyle is one option, Robert Aquafresca is another. Mbokani and Crouch would also do well but aren't realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvan ebanks-blake was superb all season in a lesser team, your argument has no substance. Carroll's not ready to be our main man. It works both ways though, look at Kenwyne Jones, plays in a similar fashion to Andy Carroll and in the championship he scored less goals and was a couple of years older. He's looked decent in the premier league, mind not worth the 20M the papers were touting him for a move to spurs for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO opinion we could get a more talented target man quite cheap if we look abroad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbokani and Crouch would also do well but aren't realistic. Wouldn't give Wolves the money they would want for Doyle because I can't see them making a loss on him & he's not worth what they paid in the first place. I'd not be convinced he would get more than Carroll over the course of a season either, had to check, but he only has 7 in the Premier League this year. Don't know anything at all about the other lad either, but there's nothing in his record to suggest he's particularly prolific. Mind I have no idea who we should be signing either.
