Guest Phil K Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 As we well know, he carries a lot of baggage with him. I have noted that the press aren't so keen to dig up sh*t on him while he's at one of "their" clubs. That would change immediately if he came back to NUFC (not that it's going to happen of course) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Was just thinking about his career has gone since he left... In 2010, on top of the world, Geordie number 9, Capello says he's one of the most promising strikers in Europe. Then the move: All NUFC fans hates him, season goes to shit and only plays six games after his move. Starts the next season on relatively shit form and can't score for the love of his life, slated by all Liverpool fans as well. Dropped from England, his manager loses faith in him, then goes back up to Newcastle and dives, gets substituted, laughed at and falls out with Kenny. Then re-discoveres some sort of form (has 2-3 good games), gets picked for the Euro's, does alright, comes back and they want to LOAN him to fucking West Ham. I bet he regrets the move every day. http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5299/hahafa2.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I bet he regrets the move every day. Counting his unearned £90,000 a week will ease his concerns But, as that is the cause of his poor post-Newcastle form in the first place (obsession with money) thats not going to change for a few years yet. He's not the brightest button on the tray after all, is he ? Oldtype - on the Nelson Muntz pic - my thoughts exactly !!! aye, london is where carroll needs to go, london.... It made a better man of Nile Ranger, after all...... http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb252/Ronnies_Pets/smileys%20emoticons/2gx4htv.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 As if they would lose £25m on him in a season What's the alternative? Lose £25m on him in two seasons, plus piss a few more million in wages away on him, too? Wages that we could be spending on another player. I'd hold onto him for another season, as he was playing much better towards the end of last season, but if the manager doesn't want him, best to bite the bullet, suck up the huge loss and get shot now.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 They can't avoid a massive loss, that's the fault of the muppets who sanctioned the deal in the first place. Moving forward from now, best Rodgers dumps Carroll if he doesn't want to play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Would it be so bad to have Ba LF, Carroll CF, Cisse RF? Cisse has a great cross on him. Don't think it's a great idea, but would at least be entertaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Still kinda like the guy tbh. Partly because we'd not be where we are now without him going, greater good and all that. Plus i still think hes capable of being one of the best strikers in the league & Englands best in a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Really don't want him back now after that dive, also think we need to evolve passing and build up wise and he would be a step back imo. Seems to have grown up a little bit at least but may revert to type back here again, don't see what he would offer us different to Cisse or Ba tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I do actually think he would play very well as the figure head of a 4-3-3 but dropping Cisse for him x infinity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'd take him as backup, as another option if we need him, but not for £10m and not on big wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I wouldn't have him as backup as every week he's on the bench cos we don't need a big man up front there;d be a load of articles about him being a flop etc and it could ruin his confidence.

oldtype Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 If he's willing to come back on his old wages and accept that he'll be third-choice striker, sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Have said I would welcome him back, still would tbh but I don't think he is what we need in this window. We certainly need a striker but someone like Hoilett that can play on the left side of a front 3 and is more of a pacey creative striker is what we are lacking. We have Cisse and Ba until the January window and given their draw it is possible they might not make the African cup anyway. If they are away we can sign another out and out striker in January. One striker signing this summer would be enough for the first team provided it is someone as mentioned above, that can compliment Ben Arfa on the other right wing. We desperately need a couple of strikers for our development squad though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 As I just said in the Ba thread, it would be interesting seeing him and Carroll playing together, as Ba performed better with a 'target man' playing alongside him in a 442. It would be an interesting option to have anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I would not want him back on loan to groome him for the bindippers. Though for 5-6million it could be decent tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
