Give Sam time.

The thing with carrol is, he won't score goals. He can do whatever wonderful stuff he does but he's a centre forward who won't score goals.
IMO a full season of carroll (which won't happen) and people will want him out the team as he won't be scoring

yeah like now!

perhaps we'd be better advised to judge players more on their performances and less on their signing fee's

Cole isn't in the same class as Carroll,

simple really.

We'll have to disagree on our assessments of Carroll mate.

Having seen him in our colours I'm happy to admit he's better than he looked when I saw him play for Liverpool when they were on the box. But I'm afraid I just can't go along with all the hype surrounding his "ability".

And I'd suggest that it's difficult to judge him this season on his performances because we haven't seen very many of them, have we?


As for transfer fees, players have always been judged, by fans and the media on the basis of "are they worth it".

And in my ever so humble( not) opinion , Man City did rather better business when they bought Negredo for around 16 mill than we did when

We bid for him before we signed Carroll

Keep up ffs

Think he was SAMs second pick after Grant Holt!
