Guest neesy111 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Carroll's rise reminds me to how Andy Cole stepped it up from Division One then. Different players though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The former. Wow, you've gone from completely underestimating his potential to vastly overestimating his ability. A testament to his development certainly, but also to you bipolarity.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 If Ronny likes arctic bears of both the male and female variety that's up to him but let it cloud your judgement on his views on Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's performed better than any other striker in the league this season. And the vast majority of football fans nationwide would agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's currently performing better than the likes of Drogba or Torres does not make him a better striker ("the best center forward in England").

Ronaldo Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Doesn't make him better overall, but he's been far better than those two this season. I did use the words 'at the moment' in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I don't think people are saying he's a better player than Rooney or Drogba. But so far this season, he's the striker who's in better form and who has consistently put in the highest performances. Obviously as the cliche goes form is temporary, class is permanent and it's a question of whether he's got the class to sustain the form and put himself up there.

So, since you seem to be involved in another discussion on an in form player where you seem to be much more level headed, would you classify Tiote as the best defensive midfielder in England at this point in time, or would you agree that would be a bit of a knee jerk?

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I would say it's been Carroll and Tevez who have been in the best form so far this season. As for the overall player, from what I've seen, Gareth Bale. Another one who was written off. Strange game, this football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Wouldn't write him off too soon, last season was probably his best. he's now 32 and had malaria. the touch will be there, the legs, strength and eventually desire will ebb away. thought he was poor on sunday and has been whenever i've watched him this season.

Coloccini and Enrique too in terms of players who were seen as flops in the media. I'm sure there are more too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
