Andy Carroll (now playing for Amiens SC)

Thank you to Sir Mike Ashley and Sir Steve Bruce for this.

Two finer men you'll never meet. God I wish they were my Dad's.

I'm nostalgic. I like this signing. Unfortunately it's also a smart signing in terms of getting more people back against Arsenal.

 

Anyway, Carroll said he just had started running outside. A bit worrying?

well he'd have to go through the full preseason basically, probably be "fit" after the international break

I properly hate Bruce's face

There’s a lot going on there.

Just saw this news. Fucking predictable cunts.

Don't see what's so complicated.  We've lost Perez and Rondon and Joselu.  We replaced them with the unproven Joelinton, a perma-crock Carroll and proven-to-not-be-PL-standard Gayle.  To improve on last season's team, we should, at a bare minimum, be selling Gayle for 15m or so (subsidising his wages, if need be) and buying a quality replacement for the Gayle money plus some of extra funds knocking around.

 

What we've done is a cop out and it's not good enough.

 

I dunno, David Luiz has just gone for 8M, really can't see you getting 15M for Gayle. Also, you should probably have appended a qualifying adjective to Joselu too .

 

That's always the mooted figure and seems relatively achievable given the fees paid for strikers.  But even so, let's call it 8-12m.

 

We should still be looking to get someone in who is better than Gayle by spending some money.

Joelinton - Rondon

Perez - Maxim

Almiron

Joselu - Carrol

Muto

Gayle

Not a bad line up to be fair. Anyone proven from a foreign league is unproven in the PL and anyone prem proven is out of our price range so it's kind of a moot point. I dont see too many proven strikers in any league going for £40m.

Joelinton represents a huge gamble by any clubs standards so I can't be mad with the signing in much the same way I wasnt annoyed with the Almiron signing who was equally unproven.

If we were to get a CM I'd of actuslly have been happy with this window up until the point I remembered Steve Bruce was our manager.

They're talking some proper embarrassing shite about this on Sky.

Nolan also reiterating how he was nudging him out of the door towards Liverpool whilst our captain.

Back for Liverpool away.

Where's he going to sleep after a night of smashy-smashy without Nolan about?

he was in limbo between Spurs and Liverpool? fuck.me. thought he didn't want to leave and was forced out.

This is in the "in isolation, I'm okay with this", category for me.

Did I just hear him say hes just started running outside

Fucks sake has this cunt got agoraphobia

So History has probably shown we sold him at the right time*. Is 8 years later the right time to buy him back?

*As in he was never better than when we had him.

Said he's 4 weeks away from match fitness. Christ.

Which year ?

Look how quickly these cunts can do business when they want to

Seeing that picture of him and Bruce makes you realise what a massive step backwards we have taken.

It really does.

What? On a free transfer you’re just silly man

If we're going down memory lane, can someone ask him about the dive when he was clean through against us for Liverpool? He had practically an open goal.

Yup.

Longstaffs, Colback, Bruce, and now Carroll. Should start calling ourseves the Bilbao of the north.

Don’t forget Dummett

I have always wanted to rewatch that match or the highlights of it but can't ever seem to find it. Incident packed and fun match I can remember of till this day.

How did I ever forget?
