Agreed. Carayol is a very good player and too good for L2. He got stronger throughout last season and, like any player, improves if you play him regularly, which obviously the imbecile Buckle did not - despite having the forethought to sign him in the first place.
He is an exciting player to have in the team - he loves taking defenders on and skins them with both trickery and pace. The good thing about him is that he has a very good end product, either telling crosses or powerful finishing. Don't be concerned about his current L2 status - your Albert came from L2's nether regions and he's one of your most powerful attacking weapons, ditto Rickie Lambert - a L2 player who will now do well in the Premier League.
I don't want Muzzy to go, but I'd certainly listen to offers around £800k for him. That kind of money is good business for a L2 player.
I'm intrigued about these Clarkson to the Gas rumours - where do they come from? I would agree that he is probably too good for L2 but I'd love to have him as he does appear to be a good player on his day - you paid £800k for him 3 years ago and he was good enough to get a couple of Scottish caps.
