Mole_Toonfan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Decent striker, nothing more. Really didn't want him in the summer but with the way we've been playing so far, we'd be doing a bit better if he was here. Outside of 6 months of insane form there's nothing to suggest that tbh. He is playing under a team that suits him now as well and he's still struggling. Think what he was going through under Hughton before we sold him was just a purple patch tbh.

Sifu Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Still no goals in a West Ham shirt, correct? More touches in West Ham's box. His abilities are being put to good use then From what I've seen of him this season, he is being used in exactly the way we thought he'd be used - as a targetman. Still quite surprised that he hasn't scored a single goal for them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Still would have him back in a second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get some goals but he does bring other valuable assets too, he's decent in my book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If he stays on loan at West Ham all season and hardly scores any goals Liverpool will be lucky if they get £5m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he's a typical target man he's never going to get loads of goals IMO but he will assist and create space for others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 He'd be a lot better on the end of a lofted ball than Williamson at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Carroll on his form he had during that first half of premier league is the best striker we've had imo. Don't get me wrong, the two ones we have are awsome aswell. But Carroll brought more to the overall play with his holding up, tying up several defenders at a time. He also scored goals and had a decent amount of assists. How many assists does our senegalese strikers have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Think he'd offer something totally different to our first 11, while opposition CB's were getting distracted by stopping Carroll imagine how much space that would open up for HBA as teams would stop tripling up on him.

Mick Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Carroll on his form he had during that first half of premier league is the best striker we've had (in 2010) imo. Don't get me wrong, the two ones we have are awsome aswell. But Carroll brought more to the overall play with his holding up, tying up several defenders at a time. He also scored goals and had a decent amount of assists. How many assists does our senegalese strikers have? I've fixed your post, you missed the bit in bold out.

I really like Carroll and would take him back in a second, but I don't think his half-season eclipses Ba's a year ago. I'd actually say that Ba's the best overall striker we've had since Shearer's injury at Goodison in '97. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've seen him have 2-3 good games since he's left us. People forget when he was with us, he was either unplayable or utter dross. WBA away, Spurs away and West Ham away (before he scored) stand out off the top of my head. Him coming back would just further encourage even more hoof ball, but at least it would be effective I suppose. I've seen him three times now for West Ham and he's been wank. Not even taking his price tag in to consideration here, he just generally looks wank. If it was Carlton Cole or Heskey putting in similar performances. Fans would rightly be slating them. He huffs and puffs, wins a lot of headers but can't direct them and whinges at the ref a lot. Average striker, wouldn't want him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just to compare Carroll's form since he left us at 22, with Ameobi at 22 upto 2 months before his 24th birthday... Carroll - 6 goals in 52 appearances Ameobi - 9 goals in 50 appearances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
