Shush Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm not too bothered about Carroll being on a free - I thought it was going to happen and far sooner than it has. Given it took until now to sign him it really must be a "oh well, we've spent our budget and he's still available" sort of thing. It's just such a cliche signing with bringing another Geordie home after Bruce. I'd be surprised if he managed to play many games, but surely he's more of a threat than Joselu?

ujpest doza Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Remember when we brought Beardsley back? This is the opposite of that. I remember a little murmuring of unrest when we did that as well as we didn't really sign anyone else that summer and he was getting on a bit, he got chinned off Ruddock pre season and was replaced temporarily by Malcolm Allen on the cheap as well. Things worked out quite nicely though as it happened. This time is a bit different mind as Beardsley at the very very least was fit to play other than the busted eye socket that Ruddock gave him. Carroll has never been properly fit since he left us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Don't see what's so complicated. We've lost Perez and Rondon and Joselu. We replaced them with the unproven Joelinton, a perma-crock Carroll and proven-to-not-be-PL-standard Gayle. To improve on last season's team, we should, at a bare minimum, be selling Gayle for 15m or so (subsidising his wages, if need be) and buying a quality replacement for the Gayle money plus some of extra funds knocking around. What we've done is a cop out and it's not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you should probably have appended a qualifying adjective to Joselu too . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even so, let's call it 8-12m. We should still be looking to get someone in who is better than Gayle by spending some money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 How and why is Muto being written off as shite exactly? Because everyone's fucking miserable and no matter how much rationality you try to use, it doesn't fit their outlook on life/NUFC/the world? Can't write Muto off yet, need to see how he performs this season to make a fair judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm nostalgic. I like this signing. Unfortunately it's also a smart signing in terms of getting more people back against Arsenal. Anyway, Carroll said he just had started running outside. A bit worrying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I must admit, this has made me feel something, not much, and not enough to make me interested, but i can see this tempting a lot of on the fence fans to go, it's obvious what Ashley is doing.

Joelinton - Rondon Perez - Maxim Almiron Joselu - Carrol Muto Gayle Not a bad line up to be fair. Anyone proven from a foreign league is unproven in the PL and anyone prem proven is out of our price range so it's kind of a moot point. I dont see too many proven strikers in any league going for £40m. Joelinton represents a huge gamble by any clubs standards so I can't be mad with the signing in much the same way I wasnt annoyed with the Almiron signing who was equally unproven. If we were to get a CM I'd of actuslly have been happy with this window up until the point I remembered Steve Bruce was our manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
