Decky Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 If he gets injured, we're totally fucked. Just saying. Only a few weeks until we can buy another striker. Fucking hope we get one. 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...

I can’t remember a player ever making so much good progress in such a short space of time at Newcastle. A fair few people on here could see he was talented despite not scoring often... not to mention being totally isolated up front alone most games.

Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 i would say to carroll, if he goes to chelsea, arsenal, man utd, man city, he isnt going to play. if he goes spurs he would be bench to start, maybe only liverpool he would start. everton are going to be no better. if we said to the the lad tiote, ben arfa, krul, williamson, showed him the solid spine, and promised 4 players to be solid around this. he would have no need to leave for at least 2 - 3 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 If Carroll keeps being as good, we get Ben Arfa, maybe a couple of decent signings... we will be the club that is signing players from rivals, not the one that is selling them.

sturla Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Drogba wishes he was as good as Carroll at 21 tbh Drogba's first prolific scoring season was at 24(stats from league 1): Guingamp 2001–02 Apps 11 Goals 3 Age 23 Guingamp 2002–03 Apps 34 Goals 17 Age 24 Marseille 2003–04 Apps 35 Goals 19 Age 25 Chelsea 2004–05 Apps 26 Goals 10 Age 26 Doesn't mean that Carroll will become better than Drogba, just highlights that Carroll is still very young!

sturla Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Carroll could also end up as Andy Johnson. There are some similarities ( but bear in mind that Carroll hasn't finished the season and could well only score a handful the second part of the season). Andy was at a similar age when he had fantastic season with Palace in the Championship, scoring 32 in all competition. His first year in the PL he was only a year older than Carroll is now. He finished that season with 21 goals, although 8 of those were penalties ( a record in the PL). He hasn't been able to produce such a season since then, only making double digits once with Everton (11 goals). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
