West Ham agree fee in region of £15m with Liverpool for Andy Carroll


Recommended Posts

Would be interesting to see how he fits into the current system.  By all accounts, a lot of his success was down to the crosses of Barton from the right, and we haven't had the same service with Big Hatem/Obertan.

Not sure how the fook we would get AC and the Demba's on the pitch at the same time.  Cannot see that happening with Tiote, HBA and Cabaye needed on the pitch as well.

 

Krul

Deb?  Taylor  Colo  Santon

  HBA  Tiote  Cabaye

  Cisse Carroll Ba

 

Not sure that would work IMO unless Cisse and Ba are prepared to get back to for a 5 if under the cosh.

 

Think he won't be a surefire starter right away, but with the extra European and cup games we'd tinker around more oft, so he'll get his chance.

Either way, we shouldn't fucking move Cissé for him.

I don't understand why everyone is trying to work out how to fit all three of Ba, Cisse, and Carroll into a system. We have European football, two domestic cups, and the league to contend with. Ba and Cisse will not be playing every game. We've already shipped out Best and Lovenkrands. We need decent players to come in that we can rotate. 

 

Carroll would be to us as Crouch was to Spurs.

Either way, we shouldn't f***ing move Cissé for him.

 

I agree with the Scandinavian, Cisse has proven himself to be a top, top finisher.

 

We have s*** loads of games next season and the ACN to deal with.

I just want to forget Andy Carroll even exists TBH, I really think this would be a bad move.

 

For footballing reasons, squad harmony, style of football and all that, I don't see how bringing Carroll back would be positive. He'd be a useful extra body, but I think we need better reasons than that bearing in mind all the negatives.

No trust in Pardew and the club then? Funny that. :razz:

We wont have to worry about the ACN if the Ivory Coast beat Senegal. Would prefer we went for someone more versatile who wont need stupid wages tbh

Quite suprised that according to the poll, majority would have him back on loan.

 

Think we should be staying well away from this one. Far too many negatives outweighing the postives in this deal.

 

Can kind of see where we are going with this one in the sense he can give us a different style of play if needed, but personally think we should just be staying well clear.

Usually I have, this just feels like one of those Ashley moves that are not really on message. Like the last-minute bid for Brian Ruiz.

Totally agree.  We needed a bigger squad throughout last season and we will need an even bigger squad with Europe.  This notion that we somehow need to fit Ba, Cisse and Carroll into the same team for every game is just a bit bizarre.

Ba/Carroll/Cisse/Shola

 

 

Power forwards.

 

Carroll- battering ram who hold ball up

Cisse- finisher with great movement

Ba- good all rounder who can finish but also link up

Shola- great impact sub

 

I think they all have different attributes tbf
