Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Daniel 7]

Heskey was athletic. He could have done the lot but the mind was never quite in it. I hate to say this but he almost had a streak of cowardice about him. Those last days at Liverpool were pitifull. He practically hid during matches and would roll around the ground as if he had been shot. A mate of mine (a Celtic man) went to a match with us and described heskey as playing with roller skates on!

I hadn't heard of Carroll this time last year and on first viewing assumed he was just going to be a gig raw battering ram. His skill level surprised me right away and stepping up to the prem and being in a mediocre team he has managed 11 league goals. He was also fantastic against us. A toon mate of mine said that he is also their best defender due to his aerial prowess and marks the opposing strikers at set pieces.

I can't wait to see him in action for us and think he will add a bit of devil that we have been sadly lacking for years. Let us do the bullying for a change.

I remember being hugely impressed with Drogba for the same reason. I'm not going to join the love-in for Carroll yet, he hasn't played, but the prospect of having a fella of this size and stature bullying Man Utd is pretty exciting.

I wonder if top defenders will be able to handle Carroll...

Andy Carroll could make his debut for #LFC against West Ham this weekend

Any substance behind this?

Possible but not likely. He maybe on the bench but I don't think he would play.

I personally expect his first start for L4 vs. Mancs in front of the home crowd.

Just looking at the pics on Getty's site it looks like hes stepped up his training and whilst he might not be involved in fulll sessions it looks like hes very close to joining in full training

Looks very promising.

As a side note, Luis is much taller than what he appears on TV.

Yeah I heard TV subtracts a few inches all right!

There is a big difference between Heskey and Carroll:

Heskey had a big physique but wasnt very athletic, more of a carthorse

Carroll has a fantastic natural physique and is extremely athletic, he is a thorougbred

You're also missing out on the most important factor in all of this which is Heskey being the biggest pussy on the planet.

Bad business as it puts on pounds too. I'd end up looking like Ram Man.
