RossM 8,082 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 There is no doubt he is a good player, had a good time of it at Newcastle, but IMO he isn't as good as some make out and like to think, sure his header in the euroes, he took it well, he is a big lad, and I'd expect him to do well in the air, he uses his physical attributes to make up for his lack of skill, and if I'm honest that's how a striker should play, bully the defence into where you want them to go, not lead them, class player? Yes. World class? No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 if he is going anywhere it will be AC milan,,,, ......Well pre-season is started now so he should have thought about a weekend holiday before now.............. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. World class? No. Nobodies sayings the boys world class......but i certainly dont think he lacks skill.......seems to have a good football brain and doesnt usually need an extra touch to get a ball under control...........in todays times a big old fashioned centre forward like Carroll is going to spend most of his time with his back to goal so there touch has to be good........with good service i think he could be a 20+ goals a season striker regularly.........but its whether he gets the service and sides play to his strengths. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with everything you say gnash, you sort of put into words what I tried to, first touch is a must for any player on the park, when I say skill I meant he's not going to use fancy footwork on the edge of the box to get a shot away, he's going to try and knock it past and use his strength, it all depends on if the players providing the service to the front men know what they are going to do before they even do it,I suppose what I'm saying is he needs team football and a consistent team Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greengrass 201 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 If he goes to the Hammers I reckon he'll do them a turn, there are worse strikers out there, ok their not on grand a week but Carroll will score goals wherever he ends up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,024 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 With all due respect to you Man Utd lads.......if forms anything to go by ( Euros ).....the only England striker who DIDNT look championship standard was Carroll !!.......Rooney looked like he could of spent his career at Barnsley and Ashley Young,well he looked like he,d never played the game before !! Carrolls a young lad who wont even of got near his peak yet with the right service that boy will do some damage...............you got to look past a silly 35 mill price tag.
