Carroll - is it possible? And would you even want him?

    I think we all know he will be back somewhen, didn't think it would be so soon, id love him back as he seems to regret leaving and we will make a huge profit, then he would be our -£20M man

    Think he would need to stay off the drink a bit more if he came back too.

    For £15 million I sincerely ****ing hope not! Thought the plan was always to have Ben Arfa playing behind Ba when HBA finally got fit and firing, why waste £15 million on someone to warm the bench?

    It's weird because I can imagine us as the only club he'd ever leave Liverpool for. If he starts playing well they wont sell him and if he continues to underperform then only we would buy him.

    I think if he was to leave Liverpool and we didn't want him I could see him joining somebody like Aston Villa.

    I do not want him anyway. If we did have 15million to spend on a striker, we could get someone much better than him!

    I have just decided there is NO CHANCE we will pay 10m for Mandy.

    Can't see that happening , maybe maybe maybe a loan deal but 10m? <laugh>

    10m based on what? The fact we sold him to them for 35m and we want to make their losses smaller?

    Ha-ha.

    Krul

    Santon - Taylor - Colo - Cissokho

    Ben Arfa - Tiote - Cabaye - Jonas

    Ba - Carroll

    Would do me nicely :)

    Would Ben Arfa thrive on the wing in that rigid formation though? I see him as a winger but in a more advanced 4-3-3 sort of wing role

    Pardew has said he'd like Carroll back, but we all know Pardew isn't the one who decides who we sign.

    Carr will have found us better players for the £15-20m

    Aye, even 10 million could get us far better players from Europe.

    Hmmm. I agree with judz. 4-3-3 would be better and we have the players to pull it off

    Yeah probably lol, just came out the top of my head lol.

    Also, on Mandy - Pardew said players he will sign this January will have to be happy to stay on the bench and wait for their chance, not sure a £15m would be willing to do that, or Ashley would like Pardew to put him on the bench

    Giroud would be a massive step up! Good call! :)

    For the sake of formation porn we could play a 4-3-3.

    Krul
    Santon Taylor Colo NewLB
    Cabaye Tiote Guthrie
    Benny - - Carroll - - Ba​
