Dunno whos idea it is that Carroll the goal machine donkey is a good purchase but that will be up there with thinking that bringing in an injured Kim Kallstrom was a good idea

To be fair in terms of winning headers and as an aerial threat, only probably Fellaini is on his level in the league. Though Fellaini is technically better with his feet than Carroll.

But it's not really the type of football any fans would want to see their club play.

No doubt Carroll is a handful if you just hoof direct balls up to him.

Which club is just going to do that all game though?

If we are counting cripples then Zlatan is up there too.

In terms of purely just winning headers from long balls i still think Fellaini and Carroll are out on their own.

Zlatan is just miles better at everything else than the other two.
 
I know everybody laughs and calls him donkey, but he can be a real handful for any defence.

Agreed ... but personally I would not want my club signing Andy Carroll, Daniel Sturridge, Charlie Austin or, for that matter, Jack Wilshire ... at least not until some other poor fcukers have managed too get a full season from them without them having weeks out on the treatment table <ok>
 
I thought you lot where on the wind up about Andy Carroll going to Chelsea, now see it on SSN, are they for real <laugh>

I wouldn’t spend any great sum on hm for those reasons, as I’ve said. And I certainly wouldn’t think of him as a starter in any team ( he probably wouldn’t last 90 mins anyway) but if you’re struggling and can’t break an opposition defence down, and there’s 10-15 mins to go, sometimes route one can be the answer.

... if you do take the better earning job... please transfer the extra £50k a week to me if you don't want it <smooch>

That's kinda the point.
50k per year would would massively change my life.
50k per week for 1 year would set me and my daughters up for life.
Sanchez has earned over £150k per week at Arsenal for 4 years...a total of over £7.5m per year...making £30m in total. He was on big money at Barca for several years before that. Then there is his endorsements and sponsorship money over the years.
Even a mild estimate would be a total career earnings of £60m so far.
He will get a round £10m to leave arsenal (it is common practice for players leaving in the final 6 months of their contract to get approx 30% of the transfer fee from the selling club as they would get a masdive signing on fee if they left on a free) and hr will get a further x amount of millions as a signing on fee
So he will get a round £15m -£20m in signing on fees plus city were offering 250k per week for 4 years
That would make £48m in wages...
So the city deal would make him around £65m not including sponsorship deals over 4 years...so like I said ... I do not know why an extra £50k per week would turn his head.
But like I also said...I am just a sock dodging hippy mo fo
