TRC Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Would be an awesome signing, would be my perfect replacement for Carroll. How do you mean they are quite different in style? I've mentioned on here before that I'd rather we changed our style of play than go for another lumbering target man. Also it means we wont have to pay Barton ridiculous wages, as he would be ineffectual... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Radamel Falcao linked - Two years ago: "The Colombian born forward has been watched by a number of Europe's top clubs, but according to reports Spurs and Newcastle were the two clubs who registered firm interest during the Janaury transfer window. " Today: "(...)However, "local sources" say Manchester United are now being joined by several English rivals ahead of the summer market. Representatives from Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United have all been tracking Falcao since the closure of the January market" Hope there's some truth too it. Fantastic player with a great goal ratio. Possibly, or maybe probably, a bit too expensive though. would be a hell of a signing though I can't see it happening at all.

oldtype Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 You'd think we already had an ample supply of mediocre strikers. Probably just the mail pulling a story out of their asses based on Pardew saying that they had a scout watching the Ireland game anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it means we wont have to pay Barton ridiculous wages, as he would be ineffectual... What a load of s****. Loves to bite. In all seriousness, I don't really see any point in changing our style of play, we've got a pretty shit team to be fair, but with a big guy upfront we have a very balanced and efficient team. A bit like Villa under MON, I don't think many of there players were anything special, but they were very balanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Spot on. But people are also re-writing history by suggesting we played s**t football with Carroll in the team. When we clicked, it was thrilling stuff, and the lad scored more for us this season with his foot than his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wouldn't knock Shane Long. He's a very good player, don't be fooled because of the team or league he's playing in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Shane Long is the fastest footballer I've ever seen. He runs like the T1000 as well. If that is the case we should sign him. If we have a T1000 and a TIOTE24 will be unstoppable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've never rated Long when I used to go and watch Reading, but that was before he really broke into the team (Doyle/Kitson was the front two). Seems he's come on recently, but I haven't watched him enough to comment really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 We were "linked" to Long on the last day of the January window. Uninspiring loan or words to that effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
