AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It takes as long as it takes TBH, as long as we don't rush him back and make it worse I'll be happy. We're coping much better than I expected without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It's becoming increasingly likely that Pardew will continue the "We hope to have Andy back for Fulham" and then when the game comes about, he's "not quite ready" but oh look, it's February 2nd. Oh well, too late to sign anyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonbaz Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 wouldnt be surprised if they waited till the window shuts before revealing the full extend of his injury by which time it will be too late to go looking to bring a forward in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 wouldnt be surprised if they waited till the window shuts before revealing the full extend of his injury by which time it will be too late to go looking to bring a forward in But even if they didn't 'reveal' the extent of his injury, surely they would know if they needed to sign someone. I'm not saying we will sign anyone, but if we don't it won't be because we don't know how long Carroll is out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pardew took his squad to Faro for a mid-season break yesterday morning, with Carroll on board the flight. When asked about Carroll’s fitness, Pardew told the Chronicle: “Andy Carroll will be the closest. But he was less optimistic on centre-back Taylor. He said: “No chance on Steven Taylor for Fulham, and Tiote’s still suspended. “He’ll (Taylor) be ready for Arsenal, when I think Andy will play. “It’s just a case of whether Andy makes Fulham.” Andy is only going across to smash some Portugese lass's hips in.

James Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 As we have been trying to buy a striker, it would actually be very wise to lie about it if Carroll is out until April, and in this scenario it is quite possible that we have been lying about it for the past month. Reason: To prevent being held to ransom on the negotiating table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 What on earth are you going on about now? Say Andy Carroll really does have an injury that means he is out until April, clubs and agents would be using it to justify higher fees/wages. Think about it.

N.A.G.A.S Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Taylor27 is saying that if Carroll was knackered we wouldn't want other teams/agents to know. Because if they knew we were desperate for another striker it would weaken our bargaining position. This would mean we would have to pay "over the odds" for whoever we brought in as a replacement. Taylor27 is suggesting that the board have been lying about how long Carroll will be out so that it is easier to bring in a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Isn't there a bit of a contradiction here? The thread title says 'two to three weeks' but the Fulham game is in 9 days and it sounds like he's 50-50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
