Guest BooBoo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think he may well be my favourite player since Beardsley hung his boots up. Sure there's been more talented players but it's always a bit more special to see a homegrown player with a genuine love for the club terrorising defences.

Yorkie Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I still pinch myself at the fact our academy actually produced this lad. After the dog-turd we've had, particularly upfront, in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Anyone know what his stats were for the under 18s and reserves? Seem to remember he scored a couple of hattricks v Boro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how naturally gifted the guy must be. Imagine if we had a top coaching regime for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the coaching staff I actually think he's come on in leaps and bounds in the last 12 months. His all round play has developed phenomenally.

Stifler Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Anyone think he has a realistic chance of scoring more then Shearer did for us? How many has he got for us already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Anyone think he has a realistic chance of scoring more then Shearer did for us? How many has he got for us already? Not a chance, if he even comes close to being consistent over the next year or two he will be bought by a bigger team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Anyone think he has a realistic chance of scoring more then Shearer did for us? How many has he got for us already? Not a chance, if he even comes close to being consistent over the next year or two he will be bought by a bigger team. Sick of this to be honest. Sure, Ashley could decide to cash-in in a couple years time (or will be forced to if we go down), but barring that it's far from set in stone he'll leave. It's not as if he's counting the days until he gets to play for his dream club - he's already doing it and seems to be loving every minute of it. The club has come a long way in the last 15 months and he's a big reason why. Plenty of people on here will say "yeah, but he'll want to win trophies." Carroll will dream of leading Newcastle to glory at Wembley and given his confident demeanor he's likely to think he's capable of doing it. I'm sure he's never pictured himself raising a trophy for Manchester City, but I can bet you he's thought of doing it while wearing the #9 shirt for Newcastle United. Also, as long as Newcastle's in the PL then he will have every opportunity to play for England, so that's not an issue. Last season went better than most expected. This season to date is better than expected. Maybe we push through to the end and finish mid-table. Maybe we make a couple more good signings next summer. Maybe we finish in the top-half next season. Who the hell knows, but a little optimism goes a long way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It's hard to believe that less than 12 months ago he hardly looked capable of making it in the Championship and now he's one of the brightest prospects in England. I can’t remember a player ever making so much good progress in such a short space of time at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
