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


Recommended Posts

His performance was excellent and he's shown real hunger in both of our matches so far.

 

I really hope he keeps his head down and works hard because there are still areas of the his game where he could easily improve (movement around the box, right foot, stamina), but that'll only be done if he works hard and doesn't let performances like this go to his head.

 

The presenter on the tv channel I watched last night said that Hughton had already had a talk with him concerning his behaviour off the pitch and surprisingly, he said that Shearer had also had a long, long talk with Carroll about the responsibilities of being a top striker, of being the #9 at this club and about being someone who other people will constantly focus on. Carroll has good, experienced people around him and I hope he takes their advice to heart, knuckles down and works hard because you don't fluke a hat-trick in the Premiership; you certainly don't fluke it with the type of goals he scored last night.

 

He's been our most improved player over the past year and like Hughton said yesterday, he's still very young and has a lot more growing and maturing to do. Let's hope he's able to fulfill his potential with us because we'll be quite a team with a beast like him up front :thup:

Got a mate that's a Stoke fan and didn't get why TP sounded so desperate to sign him. I think he realised why yesterday.

We[England] are doing it again. A player has 1 good match and suddenly he is Englands saviour. He needs to score 25 goals + this season to be considered. I watched him a few times last season and his touch is poor, his pace is poor[ looks like he is treading water when he runs]. I guess he would be competing with crouch for a place. Crouch beats him on everything apart from his heading. Jury still out

his pace is poor  :lol:

Almost as people saying he's a better version of Duncan Ferguson. ;)

Chuffed for the lad, it would have given him such a confidence boost. Lets hope this kind of form continues because he was pretty impressive v Man Utd considering the scraps he was feeding off, just a pity about that header but its not going to be the last sitter he ever misses is it?

Main thing I'm worried about is him staying out of prision and not being sold to the first team who fancies a decent punt on him.

 

If you're worried about the club selling him to make some money, I don't think that will happen.

 

Ashley will like the fact he's ready-made player that he doesn't have to splash out a transfer fee on. Hopefully he'll realise that it's false economy to sell a player like that.

 

Obviously if he becomes world-class he might eventually have to look elsewhere... unless we develop at the same time of course.

Aye, well the main thing i'm now concerned about is the court case. The mackems seem to be clinging to the hope he is jailed before the derby.

Hopefully nowt much will happen from the court case. Fine + a few mornings scrubbing graffitti should be about all he gets.

 

Just hope the judge isn't a Mackem then.

nice and random from his Wiki:

 

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon considers Carroll as a "paintbrush striker", who applies the finishing touches to attacking moves. Buffon also hailed Carroll's awareness and ability to find players.

 

 

 

Remember that, it was following a pre-season match a couple of years ago.

aka Gigi Buffon begs Andy Carroll to not cave his face in after Buffon attempts to murder him with a ridiculous challenge.
