Potential Andy Carroll replacement?

£17m? :lol: Fuck off.

 

Honestly, the one thing that could make this transfer deadline day any worse would be some mad panic buy. Carroll's an absolutely colossal loss, but we don't need to panic buy. We're safe this season. Let's not waste this money we've just been given.

Anyone we can likely promote from youth that will be anywhere near as good as carroll and please don't say ranger because he won't be.

 

Only one remotely similar to Carroll would be Dan Taylor, but that'd be a HUGE ask. He's improved over the last 12 months, in that he's now scoring goals to go with his excellent targetman play, but this is at U18 level. Great work ethic on the lad, but, again, huge ask to expect him to develop into 'the next Andy Carroll'.

Bendtner season before last:

 

26 starts

14 goals

4 assists

 

Bendtner lasts season:

 

19 starts

12 goals

6 assists

 

This season:

 

10 starts

6 goals

3 assists

 

 

He's still improving, just 22 and would be a sound investment for anything under £10 million.

Bendtner is fine as long as we are able to reinvest the rest of the money.

I'd be happy with Bendtner, but can't see it happening.

What's the rules for transfers now though? As long as we've launched a bid, they don't have to have completed the medical before 11 pm, is that right?

I've always been a fan of his. Not quite sure why he gets such bad press. As you say, anything under £10m and it'd cushion the blow of losing Carroll somewhat. I'd rather have him than any of the other names mentioned this evening. But we don't need to spend daft on him, no way.

 

Another shit thing to come out of the Carroll saga is that everyone's gonna know we've got a shitload to spend.

Be happy if we can get Elmander. Better than what we have already and should be relatively cheap.

 

Hopefully we can bring someone a little bit pacier in aswell. 3 hours right.. no problem.

 

Expect to hear in the morning that our hierachy worked tirelessly but we had a last minute bid for Elmander rejected and SWP's wage demands were too high.
