Andrew 4220 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hopefully that won't be a problem next season for two reasons. A) No Williamson, different set pieces tactics. Hope for the best, plan for the worst and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Nope. a fit carroll is as good as any striker we currently have, almost certainly better than anybody we are likely to attract and probably able to form a decent partnership with cisse or perez. the only thing that really goes against him is his atrocious injury record.

That and his over-valuation due to his nationality. Mitrovic is a better shout imo (as are Ings and Austin) Edited May 28, 2015 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrovic is a better shout imo (as are Ings and Austin) ings and austin are also english, and as such will also be over-priced. i don't see carroll re-signing unless it's for a bargain basement fee, because that's how we roll. and his injury record doesn't suggest he's worth otherwise. the thing that separates him from the other two you mention is he's more likely to come to us. ings and austin have both been linked with spurs and liverpool so why the fuck would they consider us? i don't know a lot about mitrovic, but he's been linked with man u (no brainer), and swansea , who, it pains me to say, are also probably a more attractive proposition than us right now Edited May 28, 2015 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing between us and others is tricky, but as I've said elsewhere, the right Head Coach appointment is vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2415 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I reckon having Carroll back would be a terrible signing. He'd want big money. His injury record is one of the worst going. I can't see how signing him would be worth the risk. Like Davey said, there are better options who will be cheaper and less injury prone. Plus Carroll is an egotistical bellend. No thanks.

I'm hoping that, should he ever read that comment, he is a rational enough person to recognise that he isn't good enough for the team, but that this doesn't mean I think he's in the 'fuck off, you cunt' category, like some...

The Fish 8989 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 aye, and sammy is still young don't see why we wouldn't offer him one, he did alright tbh constantly sub, featured in 25 league games, got a couple of goals and a few assists not the worst of the crowd Plus, he's an Ameobi, so that's nice.
