Who cares what players cost? It's not coming out of your bank account.

 

Stop holding price tags against players, it's got nothing to do with anything.

Okay I'll take it a step further, he's fucking shite, at any price but especially at 35 million GBP. The entire planet is howling with laughter at that deal, he's useless, a gigantic, lumbering, usually injured waste of space.

He couldnt. His movement off the ball is non existent. He just stands there waiting for the ball to be aimed at his massive forehead.

 

Could he make the run Sturridge made for the second goal against Norwich? Could he fuck.

 

he was arguably our best player in the last 2 months of last season, changed the fa cup final then destroyed chelsea again days later, had a decent euro's then we fucking loan him out and end up fucked for strikers.

 

he is a good player, not worth 35 million but regardless.

 

could sturridge have scored that header against everton?

He isn't even that.

 

Yep.

 

Suarez is miles better in the air and he's not even 6ft.

 

Carroll's biggest flaw is the fact he never attacks the ball. When it comes into the box nine times out of 10 he's about 15 yards away. Said it loads of times, but the 'striker's instinct', the thing Fowler had in spades, Carroll hasn't got an ounce of it.

 

If you gave Andy Carroll a golf club, he'd probably try and fuck it.

No he did not and he is shit. He cannot control the ball make runs and is generally average in front of goal. Carroll would be great at Stoke, other than that is is shit. The whole world can see it.

We may have been fucked for strikers but getting rid of him was right. He's done nothing when fit in a team that supposedly plays to his strengths so what makes you think he'd have made in a difference in a team that doesnt? That's not even factoring him being injured for about 3 months.

He is good in the air, you never see him losing an ariel duel

 

He is a goal scorer who cost 35m with a talent in the air (alledgedly) but consider this - he went the whole season last season and did not score a single headed hoime goal in the PL and in fact only managed one headed PL goal in the whole season (away at Blackburn).

When he can be arsed to get in the box to go for a header he loses it 50% of the time.

 

He really is shit.

 

That's more down to positioning and movement. My point is, when you hoof it up the field to him he normally wins the flick on. It's one of the only things he can do with any consistency.

Not disputing that. The reason he didn't score many headed goals was because most of the time when a ball went into the box he was hanging around the halfway line.
