'He's never been prolific' - bollox, check his stats. I've already posted them on this thread.

He's had one season where he scored 10 goals for Roma and that makes him a write off.. ****ing hell <yikes>

He's managed to (just barely) hit a 1in 2 record once in the last six years... In the last two seasons he's managed 16 goals in 71 appearances all comps - worse than 1 in 4. To be fair he did have two seasons at Wolfsburg where he did well but that was a long time ago so is more or less irrelevant imo - although fair play "never been" was the wrong choice of words.

And, as Tony says, he's the wrong side of 30 now so resale value would be very low, if anything.

As I said, I wouldn't be horrified if we signed him, it's just a bit "meh" for me. I don't get why some seem to be jizzing their keks over this rumour...
 
I feel the same. Surely he'd get teams in European competitions wanting his services. Although look at the players Stoke have been signing...

Anything is possible in this league now.
I'd imagine there would be min 5-6 teams that would have him.

Stoke are signing younger lads who are basically on a payday. We would have to pay Dzecko 100k to be in with even a sniff imo.

Unbelievable if BSA pulled it off like.
 
I know what's coming but I would take that money and put it towards getting Carroll.

I stand by for 'Dzeko another level' but he isn't in the Prem. A fit Carroll is unplayable, something Dzeko never has or will be.

We have a good record of keeping players fit recently.

Whens there ever been a totallly fit Carroll though? He barely plays 20 games a season. We have enough crocks as it is with Kaboul and Rodwell.

Mixed reaction I expected, but looks like we all agree ability wise?

I know it's a risk with his record, but so was Jan, so was M'vila (different reasons I know), Kaboul...

Sometimes you win on these ones, and the lad would be a monster for us.
 
Lad is something different. When fit an absolute beast, defenders don't seem to know how to react to the lad

I'd have him even if it was for just 20 games a year

I agree. Let's not forget we have Defoe as well. If we could have them both fit and complimenting each other the in game options would be exceptional.

Carrol is a hulk in the air, Defoe plays on the shoulder. It's an ideal fit.

They dont know how to react cause hes never fit, therefore hes hard for defenders to do their homework.

Im not gonna argue. He got lumbered with a 35m price tag years ago.
 
He hates us anyway. I nearly got into a fight with him 4 years ago in a Liverpool nightclub for putting my Sunderland badge screen saver off my phone in his face. He wasnt impressed neither were his cronies <laugh>.

Dzeko would be a great signing. I can't see him being on £40k a week though, when he went to City we were also interested and they offered him silly wages, so I can't see him being on a relative pittance now.

He's on around 130,000 Euros pre tax apparently, so about £45k per week given Italy's high tax threshold.

He has a child with a lass i'm acquainted with mate and he really doesn't hate Sunderland, I had a convo with him several years ago at a birthday dinner and he was actually quite a sound lad.

He is a Mag, but his family is split and it's certainly not a case of he wouldn't come.
