Minhosa Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Carroll's nowhere near good enough man Your mental if you think Carroll has suddendly become a good player after playing a good twenty mins for us,every other time I have seen him play hes being pure shit. Carroll is shit. He'd be out of his depth in the baby pool at wet n wild. Awful, awful footballer. At this level anyway. Are you Stu? Are you Stu? Are you stuey in disguise?

Guest Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 At that time he was nowhere near ready. Even this time last year he was struggling to score in the Championship! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 At that time he was nowhere near ready. Even this time last year he was struggling to score in the Championship! I think even 4 or 5 games in this season I am on record saying he looks decent but lacks a goalscoring threat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I thought the same at the time tbh, amazing how much the lad has progressed, I can't recall seeing someone who looked so mediocre develop into such a player tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 One season wonder. nobody knows but when we talk of potential it could go both ways. He could be England's next main striker or he could just be a one season wonder. That is why taking 30M and getting a player who has been proven at the highest level many seasons over plus 1-2 more players is a really good deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I remember seeing him play against Birmingham when they beat us 5-1 in the League Cup a few years ago. At the time he was so awful that I just wanted to punch him, and I was hoping that they wouldn't offer him a pro contract. How times have changed.

Yup I'm gonna be flamed for saying this, but many are glossing over his weaknesses (ability and character) and overstating his strengths because he is a local boy.

Dokko Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Carroll is here to stay. The club want to build a team around him and the lad himself doesn't want to leave. Spurs are not big enough for them to take him off us, if it were Manu coming in offering £30m i'd be 100 times more worried. Also if I were the board i'd reject all inquiries but listen to all bids, even if its to say to the next bidder we were offered X amount and said no, what makes you think we'll accept your offer?

Dave Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Where's this £30m figure come from? I remain worried about this. Spurs have now told all and sundry that they want him (if it is old news as that journo points out then today's events are simply to tell the world) and that has to be for a reason. Would Carroll be interested in such a move? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Was £30m not the figure someone made up after the original 'deal' from that Spurs forum ITK? No Hope in hell Spurs would offer anywhere near that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Character can be a weakness for him, but ability certainly isn't. His technique is excellent now. Only when winning the ball in the air, he still has some work to do on ball control, dribbling and shooting. Right now he is the type of striker that will score when he gets decent crosses, and useful for knock ons but he is not able to create things on his own. His shooting consistency also can be improved, like I said very good potential, the best we've had in a long time but far from the finish product.
