Minhosa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Carroll is the sofa.com, Jack Wills or House of Fraser of the football world. The fat lad has wanted to pick up something for free that was previously worth £35m ever since he sold him tbh. He'll try to build him back into something saleable. That's a certainty. Personally, wouldn't touch AC with a bargepole but it's a very interesting change of squad dynamic and culture from finesse and integrity through to charva's like AC, Shelvey, Colback etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It’s going to work a treat to get fans back on board though. Stevey Bruce manager, local hero returning. And better yet, it’s incredibly cheap for fat Mike and none of them will make a fuss about achievement or anything inconvenient about that. Have to agree. It will be announced tomorrow or Saturday to whip up a frenzy. Tickets will be flying out. Hmm, probably. It doesn't align with the transfer policy in any way, shape or form; but - from the board's point of view - the negative of that is probably outweighed by the positives yous have listed there. Once again, it'd be a transfer which has absolutely bugger all to do with a genuine and methodical attempt to build a fit-for-purpose team. This is just being opportunist, more than anything. A bit like Ashley's business practices in the retail world. He's been a free agent for weeks and if we weren't involved he'd presumably be starting the season without a club. In today's world of analytical superheroes, that tells you everything you need to know. I like Carroll but there's clearly a fundamental issue with his body which has prevented any sensible Premier League outfit from taking a punt.

geordiedean Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So Charnley supposed working hard for last few weeks to get deals done and the best he can come up with is Andy Carroll What a complete fuckwit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Ah well. Andy Carroll from January-December 2010 is one of my favourite ever players at the club. In spite of everything in my last post, I'd be lying if I said I won't enjoy him wearing the badge again. Can just imagine his daft face smiling loads. Urgh, I wish Rafa was still here and I could properly enjoy things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don’t mind it. I’ve literally wanted him back every window since he’s left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Steve must think Andy Carroll is better than any other striker out there worth up to £30m given that's the transfer budget he has left (as was widely reported pre and post his arrival). After all he wants quality not quantity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 We’ll probably end up leaving out Joelinton or Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 How to get lots of folk onside while spending the least possible money. From a football standpoint, I tried to find that stat about Matt Ritchie hitting the most crosses in the league last season, but couldn't find it. It is a plan B I suppose, but an all too predictable one. If Carroll gets fit enough to play, remind the lad that VAR is looking every time he jumps for the ball. You can't raise your arms any more.
