Andy Carroll (now playing for Bordeaux)

[HawK]

Hang on, isn't Wayne Rooney the longest?

Think so. Pav is the longest at the toon.

[HawK]

Think Steve Staunton's first Liverpool spell predates the PL, otherwise that'd be a neat 7ish year gap.

 

Edit: Oh longer than 9 years basically, wow.

[Happinesstan]

Not sure if by 'history of the tournament' they mean only the EPL, but Chris Turner might be one for Sheff Wed.

 

Again no. Sheff Wed were in the 3rd div. before my time.

 

Although the 3rd division is now the first division.

[HawK]

Eidur Gudjohnsen.. if only Bolton were back in the Prem when he returned, 14 year gap there.

[Disco]

Leigh Clarke

[SteV]

I reckon Adrian Mariappa for Watford is one.

[M1tche]

Joe Cole for West Ham

Good shout.

[toon25]

Brewcie will 100% play him at CB at some point this season.

[Guest godzilla]

He made a difference when he came on, don't think anyone can argue with that

[Flip]

Impressed. Won almost every header and fought extremely hard.

[TRon]

Great signing for this sort of manager tbf. Just imagine what he could have done with Rondon.

The same thing; punt it long at him.

 

Carroll's played his part in the last two games, like, without a doubt.

 

It's not like he became a bad player, he's just unsustainable.

Rondon is more mobile, scores more goals, and will be fit for more games in a season. Decent free kick taker as well, but in hindsight that £16m price tag is probably not worth it for a side that only needs to avoid relegation.

[Yorkie]

Oh I definitely agree that Rondon is several times the player Carroll is these days. He was mint.

[samptime29]

That cross for the Shelvey goal was fantastic like.

[TRon]

£0million well spent tbf.

[Happinesstan]

Ashley is on the phone to Klopp as we speak.

[Newcastle Fan]

Both games he played a vital role in our win, he's been giving it his all and we should all get behind him, don't understand the negativity towards him from some people here.

Much better than Joelinton at any rate.

[Happinesstan]

Seems to be getting on well with Jonjo. Maybe he has genuinely changed his laddish ways, and it is rubbing off.

[xLiaaamx]

I can't help but like him. Surprised he's been available as often as he has to be honest. Think there's still a use for him but not if you're playing 541. Need to get someone near him, preferably 2 or 3 near him. I liked the way Longstaff and Hayden did that late on today.

[huss9]

did well today. slowly but surely getting up to match fitness. much cleverer player than people give him credit for. also he's a leader and very vocal.

 

in an ideal world he'd be no where near our club, but in the current circumstances he's a great option off the bench.

 

what gayle and muto must be thinking watching joelinton though...

[TRon]

He should be starting every game from here on in. The way we play now we need a big man up front who will battle and scrap for every high ball, and he is much better suited to this style of football than Joelinton. It's a worry that we have reached December and he's only started one game. That is the reason why people are still sceptical. If he can get a few starts in a row then fans will be more confident the deal wasn't just a safety clause to keep us in the premier.
