oldtype Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think calling Carroll "the most promising striker of his generation" might be a wee bit over the top. Who is, at least in the UK, a better candidate? Nice last minute qualification there, you're on a roll! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Just to repeat - Carroll is a very promising player but his injury risk are a lot higher than you guys think. Another injury to his legs could greatly reduce his leaping ability and then that's it. I think most people would agree that our squad has improved since relegation - including the sales of Carroll. Just that you cannot deny that WE COULD DO MORE. Say a bid of 20m for Hulk would please a lot of parties here - although I stand firmly against such a risky attempt. We could buy a new CB and have Williamson as our 3rd choice CB, can have a quality right winger, can have another ball-winning midfielder to partner Tiote and complement Cabaye, can have a much better RB than Simpson... I do hope we could sign a few more players, just I won't say I am too disappointed by what happens so far. To have players with Marveaux, Cabaye and Ba's quality, we probably have to spend around 25m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 There is also the issue of his off-field behaviour which could easily sabotage his playing career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think calling Carroll "the most promising striker of his generation" might be a wee bit over the top. Who is, at least in the UK, a better candidate? Sturridge. Not that I don't rate Carroll, I do, but think Sturridge has it all. Hernandez, Suarez, Ballotelli, Sturridge, Walcott? Just off the top of my head? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The amount of optimism we had when we saw Cabaye, Ba and Marveaux all come through the door in quick sucession is now pretty much at an end, I believe it's because we've simply been too quiet as of late, however I think some perspective needs to be taken. It's not August yet. We all know the majority of activity occurs in August, so I still think we need to hold fire for a minute and see what sort of squad we have come September 1st. It's so hard to trust the cretins who run our club though, but I'm just holding on to the candle of light in the gloomy darkness that is our future with that lot in charge. As it's often said, you never know what's going to happen next with this club. There's still time for us to get a few more signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm irritated that the club aren't bringing in quality players. That doesn't NECESSARILY mean that I think the players we've brought in aren't quality (I wouldn't know tbh). The two statements aren't mutually exclusive, nor do they cancel each other out. If you're reducing the argument to semantics, not to mention semantics that has been translated from another language and put onto a website that encourages brevity, I think it says more about the incessant will to defend Ashley/Llambias/Pardew that exists on here than it does about Jose Enrique.

Christ, even if you don't see it as a direct attack which is fair enough, to not see as entirely disrespectful towards the players recently brought into the club is frankly astonishing. What I will say though is his usual mis-use of the language give's him the benifit of doubt for me over whether any offence was even vaguely intended.

RupertCommunicator Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 TBF, Jose has to go. He's not going to perform, and if we don't get a fee for him, we'll only have to pay his wages for another year before he leaves on a free. Great player, but either him or the FCB needs to go, and I don't see the cunt going anywhere soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
