BrettNUFC Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ahhh the love him for him and excuses for his shitness when he's played us is unbearable by some fans. Probably the same fuckers who greeted Joey Barton's return at Harper's testimonial like he was the king of kings! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 What? You claimed that Andy Carroll was "all that's wrong with English football" and then backed this up with the hilarious notion of a "Carroll type" playing for Spain or Holland. Like there's anything actually wrong with playing a battering ram man, especially when he has the ability to score ~ 1 in 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I think a fully fit Andy Caroll has the ability to score around about 1 in 2, aye. Maybe not with consistency but he could definitely get 15+ in a season. His injuries are his problem, not his ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 He's 25 now, how long is this extended period? He was a 1 in 2 striker that time he scored once in two games but other than that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Carroll a 1 in 2 goalscorer? Haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's laughable how bad some people are on this forum for mistranslating posts like. He has the ability to score ~ 1 in 2 is not equal to "Carroll is a 1 in 2 goalscorer." He'll not finish his career with a 1 in 2 record but he can certainly get 15 goals in a season (if fit).

Hughesy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Saying he has the ability to score around 1 in 2 is such a vague statement. I imagine lots of strikers have the ability to score around 1 in 2. It basically means nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely can't disagree with this. In regards to Carroll consistently getting 15 goals a season I really can't see him starting 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I was criticised on here for praising Adebayor, now if you want a big man, he's got the attributes in his locker that you want rather than being just a big bully. Carroll couldn't lace his boots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hmmm. I am not sure where I could take those 4 months as a snapshot for measuring his ability. By this standard Cisse is a 1 in 1 striker too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Call me a naive and sentimental fool, but I loved having a Geordie No 9 smashing them in for us. Same. As TT pointed out though, it's depressing that you can't even rely on a local lad staying these days, whether he's forced out or whatever. Can't stand Liverpool but I look at Gerrard and wonder if we'll ever have that again; a top class player staying and performing for years despite not winning all that much. Doubt it. Shearer was the last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 To be fair, Carroll is still young enough to both come back and stay with us for a long time and also return to his form whilst he was with us, so you never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Call me a naive and sentimental fool, but I loved having a Geordie No 9 smashing them in for us. Same here. Say if West Ham go down this season, and if there is any justice in this world they will, I'd take him back in a heartbeat. For a nominal fee of course. I for one genuinely believe he was forced out of the club against his will and as someone mentioned above, supporting NUFC hasn't been the same since he left. It kind of proved once and for all that everything is for sale and there is absolutely no integrity or loyalty left in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
