David Edgar Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It was widely known that he was only good for short substitute appearances in his last few years at West Ham. I can't imagine anything has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It would be nice to see Gayle get on the pitch as I'm certain he'd offer more to actually scoring, at least AC does well to defend long balls and set pieces thus far. I still would love to see him bang in a trademark header at home though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I think that's the point half the time - the extra solidity Wor Andy provides defending set pieces. He's certainly not adding anything to the attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Wonder if he'll ever start a game? Or is he so permanently crocked that he's only good for a 20 min sub appearance? Of course he won’t They’re lucky he’s running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not adding anything to the attack. Could we not just have bought a big centre back to do that? Nah I think we're more than covered for centre halves! He is a good option to come off the bench for the last 20 minutes and we are either needing to defend a one goal lead or chasing a goal. His best work this season has come in our own penalty box and not the opposition's so far, it has to be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 not his greatest fan anymore, but the bugger got a decent shot on target at least. just happened to be straight at their fucking keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hope he starts on Saturday. I do, so people will see he's absolutely finished. Yep. Seeing loads of people saying play Carroll & Gayle yet we managed to look even worse after these two came on. Gayle was on the pitch for 20 minutes and honestly can’t remember him touching the ball. Carroll managed a decent shot then spent the rest of the time literally falling about the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 One thing was noticeable after Carroll and Gayle came on, we started hoofing the ball even earlier. The ball was coming down with snow on it, but poor Andy just couldn't get a clean deflection off his bonce into some random space where Gayle may or may not have been.

Yorkie Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 That effort on the volley was pretty tasty, like. For all he's basically broken, he still looks more potent than Joelinton. And at least when he's on the pitch, there's a discernible gameplan; even if it is useless, it's identifiable as route one. Contrast that with whatever the Almiron/ASM/Joelinton mess is supposed to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Carroll has been utter shit for years. The only good spell in his career was the year and a half before going to Liverpool and a year of that was in the Championship. I honestly cant believe hes only 30.

Aiston Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 He's showed he is utter shit in the minutes he's played for us. It's hilarious some people want him to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 To think we got 35m for this fucking plank. When he comes on the field he looks like a fan that's won a competition hes utter fucking garbage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Looks like his body has given up the ghost and he's lost all his physicality. As soon as someone makes contact with him he's off balance and tumbles to the floor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hope he starts on Saturday. I do, so people will see he's absolutely finished. What sort of threat could Andy Carroll possibly pose the Manchester fucking City defence? Regardless of how utterly shite the options are - Joelinton, Carroll, Gayle, Muto, shifting ASM - Andy Carroll must be the worst option against whichever billion pound player they pick on the day. He could conceivably go an entire match (or until getting hooked) without touching the ball with his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'm pretty sure he cannot start a Premier League game. And if he does by some miracle, he won't make the distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Makes it the worst signing of the summer imo. When we signed Mitrovic we at least had Cisse who could still come in. Absolute disgrace that we went into the season with only Joelinton with a realistic chance of being fit most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I bet in January you’ll see the likes of Palace, West Ham & Everton all going for Giroud. He’d be perfect but we’ll not even be in the running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
