Andy Carroll signs for West Ham

The Premiership - General Discussion

Postby laza » Fri Aug 31, 2012 1:03 am

Strange for me , im shook my head when he was signed for that price.

My head sunk lower as last season progressed.

However I just felt for guy and was made up when he starting showing glimpes of his potential

Im actually now sad to see him go and wish him all the best

I dont want him to return after loan personally, i think its best for all parties he is success  at WH and we get a decent fee for him

SERIOUSLY, sort this forum out or go back to the old tried, tested, and not bloody broken format. Nobody can quote other points, and all we have are stupid looking posts attended by people who dont know how a forum works.

The message quouting Laza being:

Your message contains too few characters.


Here are some characters for ya, sort this %$*& out because its !(""£*$ me off. This forum is becoming a $*(")%$ joke with the $!"£%"£ bots and the tedious %_+(&%$ tediousness that comes with it.

well... Carroll was never really Liverpool material... West Ham and Newcastle are probably the kind of clubs that suits him more... We could use him as a squad player, but for 35 million and 80k a week he is just too expensive to be playing 10-15 mins a game...

No I cant Maxi, we might lose advertisers who were offended at Fit birds.  ???

Or maybe we got it wrong and the advertisers saw fit birds as competition  :D

Not sure what went wrong with quote but I think the forum isnt too bad, its the Bot Spam which is becoming increasing annoying even though hang my head in shame the ones with fallen madonna with the nice boobies

Now as im sure mods will arrive at some stage and delete this rubbish out of Andy's thread therefore it really wouldnt exists

Then in that case Mr Kharhaz Rimmer Sir you are complete Smeghead    :D

Its a strange situation and shows the naievity of the football community.

Torres wanted out and Liverpool let him go at short notice.
Liverpool paniced and bought a 'likely lad' who'd done reasonably well for 12 months.
But did Kenny properly consider how and where he could be used when replacing Torres?
The team was set up for a SG=> Torres partnership, how would Carroll compliment that strategy?
So Kenny bought a handy footballer, but not for the team and style of football Rafa Benitez had set up.

Today we see it a lot clearer, BR constantly states a player must fit the role in his vision of how the team will play.
We never heard Kenny justify buying Carroll in those terms.
Kenny gave lots of support to the lad, even went to a pop concert to make him 'feel at home'
but the amount of time Kenny had him on the bench showed that he'd bought someone that didn't fit into his own vision
nor, as we see now, BR's vision of a league championship winning side.

The key question is did Kenny actually identify Carroll as being 'the man he wanted to fill Torres' place, or if he just bought a player.
As the lad never established himself as a starter, you have to conclude he was both a panic and a completely mistaken buy.
Kenny himself, bless him, never came out and said he was building the team around 'X' style of play and that Carroll was a pivot man in making that style a successful reality.

So a difficult to admit conclusion, Kenny bought him and once he'd arrived, had no idea whatsoever what to do with him.

Clearly Comolli nor Clarke had any solution so good riddance to them as well.

What a total fiasco.

If we cant bring in an established attacking player capable of slotting straight into the starting 11 and having a significant impact then this transfer is going to look really bad for Rodgers especially if things dont go according to plan early on. Big gamble letting a 35mill striker go out on loan one year after signing him.

Cant say that i'm sad to see him go but i dont like this loan deal, it looks too much like the aquilani situation.

Hopefully we have another striker lined up.

Just look at all the scabs on here now, they can't wait for Carroll to bag a few goals so they can say "I told you so".  It's all "Carroll will score loads, big mistake" or "Brendan Rodgers will be sorry for loaning Carroll out cos he'll come good" or a good one from another internet gangster  "Carroll will prove BR wrong he will score at least 17 for WHU and anyone want a bet on it?"...   really? 

yeah your all correct. We should let the manager pick a player that really doesn't suit, fit or play particularly well in a system. Your only as strong as the weakest link I suppose. But your all way off if you think Carroll could do a job at this club.

He'll do well at West Ham no doubt and then we'll await the gloating.

sad state of affairs.
Sex, drugs and sausage rolls!
