    Starts for West Ham.

    Looked very relaxed and happy on the way in.

    Probably worth a fiver to score at anytime.

And even if we sell him for £14m next summer, we would have recouped £19m as West Ham are covering his wages for this season. Good riddance - he was never good enough IMO
      While it may be true that he featured in 44 league games alot of those were from the bench, in terms of game time he played 2417mins which equates to a goal every 4.4 games, still a poor record but nowhere near as bad as 6 in 44 suggests.

      Anyway the issue isn't so much about whether Carroll went or not it is about him not being replaced. If he had been replaced I doubt much would have been said, the fact that he hasn't is cause for concern. For me I think Carroll could have got a decent amount of goals as a back up striker, in a side that struggles to score goals as we do this could make a big difference to where we end up in the table.

      Even considering it from a financial point of view if the extra goals he could have provided could get us an extra couple of places in the table his wages pay for themselves. If those goals make the difference between European football or not we make a big profit, if those goals make the difference between CL and Europa League we make a huge profit.
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        Involved in WH's goal just now after about 1min, a flick on.... apparently to someone who then set up a goal by passing for Nolan to score.

          Yep. Great flick on with his first touch and West Ham score. 54 seconds. We loaned them our £35m number 9

          We are a joke club now

            It's not about goals though, it's about style.

              Brilliant knock down again, should have been 2 nil had Diarra been able to hit the target

                Carroll's looking really good.

                  This Carroll fella looks a threat. Anyone know much about him?

                      Carroll is perfect for a fat Sam team - he was never the right fit for the type of football a team attempting to challenge for the top would play.
                      We come not to play.

                        He will thrive for West Ham as they play long balls to a big man. Our style is the opposite, and he wouldn't flourish for us- as last year showed.

                        West Han is his level and his style, all we can hope is that he has a storming season and sets off a bidding war

                          True, all that money last season was spent on players to play to his strength's but we then asked them to play a different system and hardly played Carroll at all.

                            Instead of buying Adam, Downing and Henderson we should have bought Kevin Nolan

                                They've got an option to buy him, if they choose to do so there won't be a bidding war.
