toontownman Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Official NUFC twitter has just retweeted someone using this hashtag : #STILLOVERCOMEWITHACNEWSBACKINTOON. 'still overcome with acne'? Tweet was from Jimmy Milner. Luke Chadwick? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 No one reckon Pards can envisage playing Carroll on the left? What? Left of a front 3. He is a strong runner and left footed. Not at all what I'd do but I wouldn't be surprised if it was being thought about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 KKK's comments of 'we dinnae buy him for a few games, we bought him for 5 and a half years' comments were wide of the mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Glad people are bringing up the Hughton era. AC is far from inept with the ball at his feet, he is pretty decent for a bigger guy. He showed a lot of promise previous to Liverpool. It is an odd one if it happens but I will welcome him back. Still feels wrong seeing him playing for Liverpool or England when he is not a toon player. 'He's got good feet for a big man'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Still feels wrong seeing him playing for Liverpool or England when he is not a toon player. Still can't bring myself to forgive him for that dive. Still think he was going down before he realized if he'd stayed on his feet, tap-in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm coming round to the idea of having him on loan for a year, but even for £10m he's a downgrade on a decent ball playing £10m striker who can play on the wing, which is what I'd prefer to have.

Tsunami Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If we pay 17M and 80k or so a week for the season loan we would surely agree with Carroll up front that he signs for 5 years on around 40k a week. That would mean that Lpool will have paid us around 3 million to have Carroll for 6 years. Is that right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 No one reckon Pards can envisage playing Carroll on the left? What? Left of a front 3. He is a strong runner and left footed. Not at all what I'd do but I wouldn't be surprised if it was being thought about. Can't see him playing anything but centrally, wherever he goes. However, one attribute he has - which appears to have been completely forgotten about - is his crossing ability. Looked half-decent in the Championship.

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Has it ever been played and has anyone ever heard it ? If so fair enough, if not then its just hearsay. And if Dekka really thought that why would he be willing to stump up over £10m now ? I thought it was a mate of somebody on here who sold the recording to McNally? You'll know that better than me mate, i dont recall it at all, must of missed it (on here i mean). I do recall that my boss in one of his chats he's had with Dekka, was along the line of " look at Man City they can bring on Balotelli, we've got Perch (that was after mentioning i was a Newcastle fan). True story that like, Dekka goes to family get togethers/birthdays etc that my boss goes to, my boss got his pic taken with him, just to show me (and got bought a pint too).

Guest Phil K Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 'He's got good feet for a big man'. Hasn't got much between his ears. That said...which footballer has ? Look at that daft tit Rio, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hobshobs Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 BTW long ball aside, Ba, Cisse and others scored plenty of goals from crosses this season. The majority of the crosses coming from Ben Arfa, not our so called winger 'Jonas' who rarely beats a man and even more rarely delivers a decent cross.

He is a bit Shearer-esq with his flank running and crossing imo. Obv not quick, but a strong runner, gets momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just epitomized how far he has fallen imo, sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not saying De Jong is the same type of player as Carroll (I know fuck all about him tbh), but wouldn't we have had all the same problems of accomodating three first-team strikers had he joined? Can't remember so many people being as concerned about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Still feels wrong seeing him playing for Liverpool or England when he is not a toon player. Still can't bring myself to forgive him for that dive. Still think he was going down before he realized if he'd stayed on his feet, tap-in. Not again. He blatantly bottled it/panicked when he realised in a split second he was going to score against his boyhood club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I see this as a brave move, opportunism, and evidence of the struggle to land our other targets. It's a gamble, but on a loan deal maybe worth it. If it doesn't work out we ship him back and he's their problem. If it does work out, he'll probably want to come back and the deal will surely have a fixed price agreed. Another big question is can the club afford the wages of Ba, Cisse and Carroll? Or is Carroll to be a replacement for Ba? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would p**s myself laughing if he came back here, was a success, we bettered last season, and it led to the scousers squealing because they aren't top 2, and Clodagh Rodgers getting the sack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
