Rich Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Apologies York, I had my little rod out. I really like Carroll but I tend to agree, he's been nothing like value for money since joining them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Carroll will grow into himself physically, the injuries will clear up and he'll be banging them in again. Now would be a great time to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 What's that based on though? Could just as easily go the way of Duncan Ferguson, can see the similarities myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has in the games he played. Cba to look but I'd reckon their with/without record is a lot better with him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nothing to suggest his injury record will improve to be fair. If anything since leaving us he's become worse in regards to injury's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Clearly v injury prone, whether or not that has anything to do with how he looks after himself is up for debate. He's 25 now so I'm not sure how he's going to grow into himself like Was going to say the same, he's hardly a kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 What's that based on though? Could just as easily go the way of Duncan Ferguson, can see the similarities myself. Totally agree and called it as soon as he picked up the injury for Liverpool. His heel injury (picked up at West Ham) could have been a career finisher if he didn't have top drawer help. I know a guy who was a very good semi-pro player and he ended his career with that injury just 3 years ago. Apparently (so he reckons) it can go again with too much weight applied to the heel (i.e: landing off balance) and is more widely known in basketball circles. My feeling is he'll suffer injuries throughout his career a la DF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Man that first season back up when he got that hattrick against Villa. Then the domination from him & Shola against Sunderland. Fun times, he was really flying for us. Big shame he took the decision he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm still not overly sold on him, physically he is a beast and can dominate any defender but the technical side of his game isn't the greatest not to mention his injuries and lifestyle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If we are going to persist with Bassett Pardew then surely it would make sense to give him the target man he so clearly needs and of that kind of player, there is no better than Andy Carroll in this country anyhow.

The sort of money it would take to get Carroll (wages and fee) we could probably get Remy who would be a lot better signing imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Think he's more than good enough technically, given what else he offers. Attitude, price tag and durability are my concerns. If we could get him cheapish he's more than good enough for our level of "ambition", issues aside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the lad who f***ed off at the first chance Did he 'fuck off' or was he pushed? Mind you having seen what Ashley is like at first hand and close up I'd have wanted to 'fuck off' too. Moot point really. We wont be spending this type of money in the near future anyway. Loanees, swaps or frees all the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm sure Carroll didn't think twice about leaving, can't blame him in retrospect either. His stock has plummeted since then though, of course he'd be back in a flash if he had the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
