jimmymag Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 The usual Sunday rumours of a return for the prodigal son. I'd love to see him back here, but I think we'll only go for him if Pardew is our manager next season, which tempers my enthusiasm somewhat. No fuck it, I'd sacrifice Carroll if it means no Pardew next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

krybel Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just saw a video on the youtubes analyzing his play on the opening day 2010-11. Whats the name of that video? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 In answer to the poll question; given how certain I am that Pardew's staying - we really could use a player like Carroll to try and salvage something from the God awful style of football that we play.

Barnes23 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If Pardew stays, worse is better (to a point). Would rather we start the season poorly enough for him to get sacked by Christmas, with him continuing to struggle to get the best out of our technical players, than settle for a few 13th place seasons in which Ben Arfa, Cabaye etc have departed and Jay Spearing and Andy Carroll are in the side.

Guest teapot Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Cisse isn't good enough. Carroll is the best and shouldn't have been sold He might be a Geordie boy but I don't think he'll want to take a huge pay cut from his 90k a week at Liverpool. Your point is what ?

Guest teapot Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I don't get it. Are jumpers a fascist nowadays? I'm confused. Yeah people on trampolines are all nazis. Didnt you know? I thought only students wore jumpers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Cisse isn't good enough. Carroll is the best and shouldn't have been sold Why isn't Cisse good enough? and what has Carroll done to prove he's better apart from the fact he's a local? Cisse scored more PL goals in 12 games when he arrived than Carroll did fullstop and he's outscored him this season despite Pardew's idiocy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 rb ch ch lb hba sissoko cabaye marveux cisse carrol could be fantastic imo with anita & tiote rotating the midfield spots depending on injuries/subs/opposition away, cisse picking up scraps from carroll knock downs or cabaye through balls or carroll sticking chances away from hba/marveoux crosses higher or low into the box with sissoko sitting a little deeper and making surging runs when required much like yaya but obviously not as good. it's got the flexibility of a 442 ish which is how (unfortunately) pardew wants to play it (again i don't want him here but its lookngi like we may be stuck with him so play to the strengths or we could narrow that by having carroll/ cisse from the bench with the 2 fb's bombing forward with anita/tiote tightening the midfield a little when needed such as tiote/anita sissoko cabaye hba/marv carroll/cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 anita & tiote rotating the midfield spots depending on injuries/subs/opposition away There-in lies the problem. No matter who we play and where, we will see the same line-up/tactics/mind-set, assuming "they're" fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 i know, im just trying to put a positive spin on it if carroll was coming. the season has been a shambles but i think with carroll added into the mix of his crap tactics i think it would work, we don't know what players will be coming and going but looknig at what we have currently and adding carroll i think it could actually work up front at least with a decent striker that hopefully could add another dynamic to the attacking side. mind no way do i think hes worth anything over 10 million either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've got little doubt he'd be the main man with Pardew, since he has no interest in the team actually playing Football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
