Andy Carroll...

[dave u]

Really rate this lad. First saw him against us in the youth cup, and he was almost unplayable. I've kept an eye on his progress since then, and I reckon he's a really good player.

 

Couple of people I know in the North East say he's a bad knobhead though, and when I saw him with cornrows in his hair it did set off the alarm bells.

 

I read in the paper today that he broke Steven Taylor's jaw, which I can't decide if that makes him a good lad or a bad one, as Taylor is a massive twat and was apparently banging Carroll's ex bird or something.

 

He's also up in court at the end of the season for assault I think, but then so was Gerrard. The only thing that would put me off making a move for him is his character, as I reckon he's going to be a top player one day.

[Lucky Pierre]

Wouldn't mind Taylor or Carroll in the squad. No way he's a Geordie though. That's fake. Have you seen him!

I've seen a fair bit of him and like you I've seen games that he has been unplayable in.

 

I'm firmly convince that he will be the England No 9 for a long time within three or four years (Probably sooner). He's a great athelete and has all tools to be one of the best in the business.

Taylor is shit I reckon.

Except maybe the right mentality, that's my concern.

english babel then?

I remember that. He looked fucking ridiculous. Think you're right though, he'll end up being a very good player. Good balance of technique and presence.

True that - some of the Geordies can't stand him. Which is very strange for anyone playing at No 9 for them.

 

I wonder if that won't calm down when he get's a little older.

 

I'd certainly take a chance on him though.

 

Not sure if Benitez would put up with his antics (presents Craig Bellamy as exhibit 1 M'Lud)

[PaulMcC]

I think he might've bottled someone and that's why he's up for assault.

[Dougie Do'ins]

So he's a combination of Bellamy, Barton and Babel. The three B's

[Brownie]

I must be watching a different player to you lot because I think he's shite; alehouse player!

samer here, don't see where people are getting this praise for him from.

[Monster Masch]

I have been banging on about him for months. I think he is a fucking powerhouse of a striker. I am adamant he will make it in the premiership next season too. He's only 20/21 and is absolutely one for the future.

 

Bar being lethal with his head in the opposition box, he wins almost everything in his own box too. And he can play.

[WaltonRed]

I'm with Dave but he's a loon.

 

If Taylor pressed charges and with this other charge hanging over his head he's be doing time for it.

 

That said I do think he's a cracking prospect.

[BolshieBastard]

Dont normally disagree with our erudite forum owner but, carroll's shyte. He looks good because he's in the second division.

 

He looks ponderous to say the least.

[Torvald Utne]

Here he is performing opera mid match...

I thought he looked good last season in the top division when he played. He does seem like a loon though, you'd think maybe having Joey Barton as a team-mate would make him realise what can happen if you don't keep your nose clean, but apparently not.

[Rush 346]

Let's see how many he gets in the premier next season will reserve judgement until then, Taylor not really up to it imo

I live in the north east and I can tell you that there's barely a bloke up here he hasn't started on. He's a bad bell.

 

He was good on footy manager a couple of years back, mind.

If he stays out of trouble, he will be their main striker. And I think he'll score goals and get a move the following summer.

 

But will he stay out of trouble?

[Trumo]

[WaltonRed]

I like Nile Ranger they have as well.

 

I concur, lets see how many he gets next year in the prem

[dave u]

Just seen his goal from tonight. Tidy finish.

 

Manny's post is very similar to the things I've heard though.
