Fulham Broadway 17,367 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Not against this -we have no one roughing up the opposition, he'd be good for long balls knocked into the path of Hazard and Morata when he could be brought on later in matches that are at stalemate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Wooden-legged hoof-ball typecast, can't play flowing technical football with (players like) him. Relegation/mid-table level signing would that be. Would prefer a backup striker in the mould of Jesus of City, Morata is good in the air as is. Only thing going for him is being English, if he was from a foreign no-name club you can bet we wouldn't even look at him. Would be a very underwhelming signing.

Reality is Caroll is average player and he wont have any serious impact. We have been through the same with Ba, Remy and Bats. And they are better strikers. They just dont have the impact we expect. We need another Etoo. Someone experienced who played for big clubs, someone who may be past it, but his quality is still high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Moyes literally came out today and said he hasn’t heard anything about it. He would obviously not be a nice signing but just trying to bring some calm to the page I guess.

I can’t think of a good striker available this January that’d be willing to come here to sit on the bench. Would love like an Anelka-esque signing but my mind’s blank.

Moyes would probably be the last to know if the WH board are anything like ours.

Yup its sometimes foregoing Waitrose eggs for value ones etc. I actually think Carroll coming on to bruise a defence in the 75th minute isn't such a bad thing- if the board seem insistent on penny pinching.

Just make due with Morata and Bats and the occasional false 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
