JH Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Carrick will be 30 come the summer. He was 27 the last time he had a good season. He's on the decline. Nobody is arguing against that man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The way I see it is that Carrick wouldn't make our starting line up. Tiote > Carrick, and we need a much more attack minded midfielder to partner him. Therefore there's no reason to sign him, pay big wages and let him stagnate and decline further while sat on our bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is arguing against that man So how is he any different to Smith and Butt when we signed them? We shouldn't avoid signing players from Man United entirely, that would be ignorance, we should avoid signing players who are ageing and not looking anything like getting back into form though, irregardless of which club they come from.

Kaizero Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Carrick would be a massive step in the wrong direction when we've finally (apparently) heading in the right on when it comes to our signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If West Ham stay up I can see him ending up there. Why has this provoked so much discussion anyway? He's not even been linked to us and there's next to no chance the club would actually be interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Carrick would be a massive step in the wrong direction when we've finally (apparently) heading in the right on when it comes to our signings. There is no wrong direction or right direction. Is Perch a step in the right direction? There is no problem targeting older players as long we hedge the risk presented by them and supplement it with other types of signings. It is just foolish to pass up signing a talented footballer because he does not resemble other recent signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a problem signing older players who would cost £8m+ and want £40k+ when our budget is likely to be relatively small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just foolish to pass up signing a talented footballer because he does not resemble other recent signings. James Perch is a 25 year old and was arguably brought in as defensive cover for various positions. Whilst he's turned out to not be a very good player, the intent of the signing was very good. Campbell, the other bad signing this season, was also a good one in theory as he'd cover us should we get injuries and could aid the younger players with his experience. I also think there were talks of him taking up a coaching role with the club once he'd retired. Carrick is an aging player on the decline with a very likely high wage for the one position we actually do have enough players for. It'd be a silly signing and one in the wrong direction.

Thespence Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Tiote, Carrick & Barton in midfield I would get bored of us retaining possession better get Taarabt for the left to mix it up. Carrick on current form over the last 2 years is a lot better than Ireland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyb77 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Watched a bit of QPR v Cov earlier and Taraabt stands out a mile in that league. Debatable whether he's a "realistic" target, but he's impressed every time I've seen him. Heard rumours about dodgy attitude? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
