cp40 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 As long as it doesn't get in the way of developing players like Ranger/Carroll, it's gotta be a good move.

Shearergol Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I can't believe anyone can pick any holes in his performance, if Ameobi had played as well as him everyone would be saying "wow Ameobi is getting better and better", and probably likewise Carroll. He was given his opportunity to shine, and I think he showed a lot of people exactly what he's capable of. if Ameobi had played like that he'd be slated for not scoring.

Heron Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 People bum Caroll compared to Shola. Shola has had longer to prove himself though tbf. Good signing if we get him, provides plenty of muscle for up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 We should prioritise the development of players like Ranger and Carroll whilst we are in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 We should prioritise the development of players like Ranger and Carroll whilst we are in this league. fuck that. We won't win the league with Ranger and Carroll upfront, I'd rather go up winning than stay where we are and develop our youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythelads Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The priority is getting promoted before we fall even further behind. As it is right now the present lot would be relegated from the PL, so we need to get promoted and invest in the first team squad and also in youth, bringing them through when we're on the up, not when things are desperate. Relying on Ranger and Carroll is madness. Course, we know there won't be much (if any) investment while the inept fat market trader is running the show.

Obviously Ameobi and Lovenkrands would be ahead of them, but what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't want a player who isn't even ours starting ahead of players who could gain a lot of experience in this league.

We'll worry about the premiership if/when we get there. Ideally we'd be signing players now who would also be good enough if we go up, but we've got to be realistic given the shambles of a situation at the club.

STM Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I actually think he can be a handful, didn't he score a few when the hammers got promoted? Everytime i've seen him play he always causes quite a few problems, not that i've seen him play alot like. As a loan signing, he might be a smart addition to the squad. He's no worse than Leroy Lita who alot on here would have had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
