AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He's actually gone below even my incredibly low expectations. I thought he'd hardly be fit but would be quite effective when he did come on. In hindsight I'm not sure why I thought this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Just as getting rid of Rafa and replacing him with Bruce and the shit we find ourselves in, Carroll getting injured was just as predictable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Cracking signing. Feel for Joelinton a bit, he’s been thrown under a bus being expected to lead the line on his own with no capable replacement or backup to take the pressure off him if he needed taken out. Injury prone Carroll and Championship standard Gayle. Absolute wank, but expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I couldn’t fathom why some were so excited by this like I said that at the time - the hysteria was baffling especially as he only played 19 times in the Premier League for us previously and with his recent (well, last five years!) injury record!

TBG Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 You's are forgetting he's a geordie and we used to be able to rub shoulders with him in Blu Bambu. Hes one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what we did with Mitro in a way, far too much responsibility on a new young signing without the record to suggest he can take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Waste of fucking space really. Only here cos he's "one of us". No other premiership club would touch him. only nufc would get a perma-crock and see it as some no-risk masterstroke. Like mentioned above we could all see this coming but what really boils my piss is that it was reported (can't specifically remember where tho) that when Bruce was appointed one of the first things he did was inquire about Carroll's availability/status. REALLY? Appointed to manage a team in the english premiership, and even with budget restrictions imposed from Baron Greenback and his minion, one of your first transfer targets is this washed up has-been? is that the extent of your knowledge of strikers within the game? Arrgghhh!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Yimentov Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 We bought him to get the punters back through the turnstiles and forget about Rafa. He's been a magnificent signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Only training 2 days a week as well I see. He's completely finished. Someone should be sacked for not signing him to a pay as you train deal instead. Big loss for Mikes wallet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 To be honest I think that Rondon would look crap being left on his own up front under Bruces set up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 To be honest I think that Rondon would look crap being left on his own up front under Bruces set up Rondon can still jump for the long punts from the back. If it's true that Carroll can't even jump high any more, then hard to see what he's been brought in for other than be a drinking buddy for Bruce and keep the mongs on the terraces happy with the odd wave from the subs bench.

Guest Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 To be honest I think that Rondon would look crap being left on his own up front under Bruces set up No different here than what he experienced at WBA under Pardew & Pulis so probably right.

Disco Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Heard Sir Andy is going to do a rendition of Crocodile Shoes prematch to get the Donnay Army going, is there no ceiling to his overt Geordie pride? What a signing by Mike and Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
