LRD Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 His style of play is more to due his injuries than his life style for me, he keeps getting ankle injuries and quite frankly he wouldn't be the first big striker to suffer that. Surprised no one mentioned Duncan Ferguson yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Rumours going around he could be out for 4 months with an ankle problem. Such a shame the way his career is going. I have heard on more than one occasion that his ankle is fucked over the last year like. Yeah but ankle in London means Mam or Dad's brother. most appropriate use of it in a while.

Tsunami Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My info is that they have no real idea how long he'll be out for and hope to know more once he's seen the specialist. I didn't see it but apparently their new expensive midfield signing took a bit of a naughty challenge against Wellington and isn't expected to be fit for the start of the season. Still says that it's complete bonkers behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I hope the club - under Pardew's requests - have not been basing the new season on being able to sign Carroll as the main striker because if so, a struggle lies ahead. Even though the guy is out of action until December, I wouldn't put it past idiot to keep hanging his hat on Carroll returning. Time to drop all this and get a proper goal-scorer signed and preferably, one who isn't injury prone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 We don't have anyone left who'll command a decent fee to pay for a new striker. Krul possibly but you would hope that even Pardew wouldn't want blob jelliot as his number one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Think Ferguson was a lot more of an intelligent player and less of the battering ram that Caroll is. Carroll was infinitely more than just a battering ram, when he played for us. Many people, including myself, were gutted that we accepted that £35m. In hindsight it was the right decision, but in the intervening years a lot of people seem to have forgotten just how good he was back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I was livid/heartbroken. I remember being and people started saying he was off, i was in total denial saying there's no way he'd go. Gradually throughout the day it looked more and more likely. By the end of the day I lost total faith in any footballer having any ounce of loyalty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't as intelligent as Ferguson when it came to holding up the ball and laying it off for people. The amount of times he would just head the ball into nowhere was quite high.

Jack Flash Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 He was undoubtedly good but half his magical year was in the best team by some distance in the Championship and he got dropped for Shola because he was doing so badly at one point in the PL. I wouldn't have sold him fwiw. No point at all in doing so when he'd have kept us up comfortably and we'd have had a real figurehead for the next 10+ years.

Given how much of a crock he is we did the right thing selling him despite it not appearing to be the correct decision at the time. The real issue is how poorly we handled reinvesting the money into the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
