Is Carroll still overrated?

 

Yep.

 

I see what you did there, clever.

 

You think? ???

 

It wasn't one of my best, tbh. Pretty shit really. But you know, it's the level so many people on here can relate to...so I do my best to just lower myself to that level.

 

Meanwhile...we're fucked aren't we?

Injury disasters starting as usual then. So thats Guthrie, Butt, Carroll, Barton, Ameobi & Jonas missing matches now after only 5 games.

 

And still theres some people who wouldnt mind further selling off certain players for the right price.

Where in that report does it state that he has a broken foot, will take it with a pinch of salt until official..

 

But considering the Mirror have ran with it makes this 100% cert..

Newcastle rocked by new Shola Ameobi injury blow

 

Published 22:43 27/08/09 By Simon Bird

 

Newcastle have been hit by a new hammer blow with striker Shola Ameobi suffering a suspected broken foot - leaving a massive hole in their weakened squad.

 

And to add to the Geordies’ woes, Argentine winger Jonas Gutierrez has pulled a hamstring and could be out for a month, scuppering the chance of cashing in on him for £6million as the transfer window closes next week.

 

Chris Hughton has warned that Newcastle’s winning start to the season has so far  “papered over the cracks“ and the latest two injuries prove the Geordies have big problems sustaining a viable squad.

 

Ten players have left this summer leaving United with a squad of only 14 players who have experience of more than 10 games for the club.

 

Ameobi netted his fifth goal of the season coming off the bench against Huddersfield in the Carling Cup on Wednesday, but Newcastle have paid a heavy price. If there is a break in the foot and ankle region he could be out for six weeks. Gutierrez also came on to inspire the 4-3 comeback win.

 

Managing Director Derek Llambias is now under pressure to sanction some incoming deals to strengthen Hughton’s hand.

 

But club sources say Hughton has been told to restock his Newcastle squad WITHOUT spending a penny over the weekend.

 

The caretaker boss will only be allowed to bring in free transfers or loan signings, with Spurs' Gareth Bale, currently out with a foot injury, and fellow wide-man Danny Rose on United’s radar.

 

Peter Lovenkrands, who is also a free agent, wants to join Newcastle, who are looking to strike deals to sell at least three more players.

 

The club is trying to push through deals to get rid of centre back Fabricio Coloccini who earns £70,000 a week with Steven Taylor also a major asset.

 

A club spokesman yesterday insisted that Kevin Nolan would not be allowed to leave on a loan deal despite United wanting his kind of wage bill off the books.

 

Newcastle entertain Leicester on Monday.

 

Jesus f***ing christ.

 

Key word.
