Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Kenneth]

Forgotten how crazy this place is during the day.

So why did Kenny sanction a £35m transfer for him if he doesnt rate Carroll?

That was before he trained with him, 12 months on however, still hasn't managed to nail his spot. It is possible the manager got it wrong, the fact that Carroll hasn't been a regular kind of proves it.

So why has Kenny kept backing him and not decided to sell him?

[Norbs]

The most depressing thing is that David Ngog was a more useful player.

I liked Ngog, wish he'd stayed

We're not exactly spoilt for choice with strikers right now are we ?

I expect nothing else from Kenny, he's no Bodgson. As for selling, that may not be up to him, there also needs to be takers, there's got to be reasonable offers and there also needs to be replacements as our only other striker is banned.

[Craig_H]

I'm sure a) Newcastle would've taken him back for about £15m and b) we could've got someone else in from Jan 1st if Kenny really thought Carroll was ****.

[Kenneth]

Newcastle would've taken him back for about £15m

You think they would?

[Craig_H]

Maybe not now they've signed Cisse, but i reckon they would have done 2-3 weeks ago.

[Lecter]

Yeah, that's their policy. Also need to add, there's very little room for mistakes like Andy Carroll and Stewart Drowning.

There is room for error

Every good business plan allows for margins of error (such as poor signings, not getting 4th place)

Thats why Hicks & Gillett failed so spectacularly there was absolutely zero wiggle room

The current board are generating increasing revenues the club is in pretty good shape off the pitch and as such they can continue to invest in the playing staff

Obviously they wouldnt want to make more mistakes but there will be contingencies

[Darkon]

Funny because that is EXACTLY what I think FSG are doing

[el matador]

lec...

35m spunked on carroll is a ****ing huge mistake. its hard to know what fsg are thinking. henry and co expect.a top four finish while the rest of us know its looking a long shot right now.

the thing in our favour is that arsenal and chelsea only lookly marginally less **** that we do so its wide open. arsenal will score plenty but let plenty in.

chelsea look vulnerable in every match ive seen and we look pants going forward.

if any of these three teams can win five or six on the trot that would put them in pole position for fourth but all three.teams have huge deficencies and right now no one wants it.

on paper we have the best balanced squad of the lot but can the players rise to the occasion.

he wontr have had chance to scout him, So sure he will have called up the likes of Shearer and others for there thoughts.

bet you Kenny has deleted their numbers now.

wonder if psg will swerve putting ant more major money into comili/kennys purse after seeing how well its been spent and the return from these big money signings?
