    I noticed him a while back and thought he looked a good player so have kept an eye on him.

    He looks a cracking player technically good, good passing, good positioning, a threat going forward and good defensivley.

    Do you lot rate him? Do tou think you can get him on a permanant deal?

    I like him, still a bit rough around the edges, but he is still growing, I personally see him as the next Leon Britton, and as a result would love us to sign him permanently.

    Carroll is a brilliant replacement for Leon and could do great things in Swansea but there are two factors which go against that.
    1) He has said he wants to go back to Spurs a better player.
    2) The game we been playing where Britton is so effective is changing and his type of player will become less effective for us.

    From what I've seen this season he could be outstanding at a Leicester (or us if we return to our passing game).
    I am especially impressed with the work he does off the ball, always moving, always making space, always getting into a position to receive the ball.

    Possibly now surplus to requirements , he has a gained PL experience but we've bought Grimes for the same position and he was on the bench yesterday so imo it's unlikely he'll be ours next season.

    And Cork. Fulton showed a bit of maturity yesterday too.
    But I'd have Carroll in an instant but the £5 mn quoted seems a bit steep.

    If we don't sign Carroll I'd have a crack in trying to bring Joe back.
