you are wrong. his movement is slow. he was at the wrong place at the wrong time on the pitch most of the time. for a target man he assist very little and score very little. in the FA cup final, carroll didnt score from 3-4 yards, it fact its been the story of his lfc life. near misses.

Towards the end of the season, or as a few have pointed out, since the Newcastle game, Andy Carroll started to come into his own.

He dominated defences, he scored goals, he was a bigger threat than Suarez was. Go on, I dare you, tell me im wrong.

The decision to send Carroll out on loan was a bad one in many ways, for me mainly, because he was the one who finished the season as one of our most impressive players. Of all our players, he finished the strongest. Am I wrong?

He then went on to play for England in the Euros and scored a blinder. Once again circumstance has denied Carroll his glory, in the Euros case, Rooney the useless donkey.

Carroll is definately not a bad signing, but ill used? yes, I could agree with that.


Carroll is rubbish and the fact that you think Shrek is a "useless donkey" compared to him, pretty much sums up why no one will take your opinion seriously.

Oh wait just noticed you said he is a bigger threat that Suarez......  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Good one. You were just having a laugh all along.

Carroll did improve twoards the end of last season and was a threat for England, I think England would have progressed if they hadn't brought dropped him for Rooney in the last match but I don't think he's mobile enough to play the sort of style that Brendan likes to play.

Don't know if there's much truth to this, but the Irish Independent would be a fairly reputable outfit and wouldn't be one to report on hearsay

Read that too....
Bigger fool Carroll if it's true....
And ammunition for Rodgers to get rid.....
In all seriousness, Carroll sounds like a complete to$$er off the pitch; he should grow up and cop himself on. The g33bag doesn't realise how lucky he is to have had the opportunities he's been given, and still wastes them.

All it said is they were interviewing him.  A photographer claiming assault on a player? Seriously? Are you surprised?

Carroll's unfortunately had a history for this type of thing, but he seemed to have it sorted.  Can't say I'd be completely surprised.

Not a bad signing? He is arguably the biggest flop in the history of the league.

you are wrong on both counts, he has never been and never will be a bigger threat than Suarez and he certainly was not our best player at the end of last season. Scoring one goal in a championship does not suddenly make you world class.
If as you suggest he was getting better and better why has he failed to deliver as West Ham, a team which does play to his "supposed" strengths?

He was and is the worst signing we have ever made and I hope he never pulls on the Red Jersey again.

At that time he was on top form. All the pundits where saying on that form he is unplayable. He was better than Suarez at that time. The downside was, the season ended. And my opinion of shrek is simple, he is simply playing on past reputation. For me he is over rated, and when he playes for England, he simply does nothing.

But its good to see the amount of evidence to prove my opinion wrong, oh wait, there wasnt any, just idiotic comments shooting down my support for Carroll. It should surprise me, but going on todays "supporters", it doesnt.
