Mick Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Knocking it down for Cisse to poach on in the box, hba around the edge or a little further back for Cabaye or sissoko to run on to. Tiote to never cross the halfway line, always having two close forward options to pass to. Dream on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The idea of Carroll really is terrifying. Why would we even want to go for a deal like that? That's the most concerning thing. £10m+ for an English forward in poor form. If we go for that then they really are all out of ideas. Don't be daft man, it's clearly a ringing endorsement for our scouting network and long term plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Carroll Gouffran Ben Arfa Cisse Cabaye Sissoko I hate myself a little bit for posting that. Cisse next to Carroll and a midfielder Instead of Gouffran in a 4-3-1-2 and we use Carroll like Fellaini is used at Everton as an outlet but we don't pump the ball to him aimlessly every time we get it and i think i can get behind it. Buy Carroll and don't pump the ball to him aimlessly? Moal pls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 In theory TT's line up should work my worry is we get over reliant on Carroll as an option and just get the CBs to lump it to him. For that team to work we need to be a lot more cute than that. Funny thing is if we played in a similar way to how we did under Hughton in terms of style of play i actually wouldn't mind i actually enjoyed watching that team. Watching us atm is just painful.

I wouldn't base our entire game around it, but it's an option, a nice one to have to put on pressure or relieve it at the other end. I think we'd be a better team for having him in, there I said it, I know a lot of people disagree but I think even Best in the squad and we'd see a much better forward line this season. Carrolls ground work is also a lot better than people give him credit for, he's not just a battering ram, however he is the best. Battering ram we will ever have.

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Everyone does realise Pardew is still our manager right ? Nah i fully realise that but the reason we are so shite to watch is because we are forcing a style of play on players that can't do it.... Imagine if Cisse was the CF in the Hughton era i don't think it would be as bad if we had a target to aim for ( Carroll or otherwise) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I get the impression that we've wanted Carroll back for some time and there's some money set aside for his transfer. Me too. This sudden good form might make others raise their head mind. I think he'd be a good buy at the right price. Unplayable on his day. Would benefit Cisse too.

So you set the time period? Sorry king mick. Carroll is in his stride now, looking good and scoring goals. This is the Carroll we'd be looking at taking back, it is the most recent version of him after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
