    if he attempts to sign Andy Carroll. WHU bid of 15m acceptable which makes him a snip, and he could meet the requirements of PDC striker quality.




    THIS NOT A FRIVOLOUS POST TO STIR THINGS UP, JUST A GENUINE ATTEMPT TO GAUGE HOW MUCH SUPPORT THERE IS FOR HIS JUDGMENT OF PLAYER QUALITY.

    I think one ex-Geordie striker at a time is enough for our squad lol.

    As a matter of pure academic interest, I think Carroll is quite decent and he's performed well for West Ham this season. Even ignoring his previous ties, I still reckon we could spend the $15m better and get better value for money.

    I know that there are some who just can't accept Geordies at our club, but I've never been one of them.

    If a manager, coach or player is good enough then we should be signing them regardless of where they were born.

    I think that Andy Carroll's nocturnal activities will not impress PDC at all, so for that reason alone I wouldn't sign him, unless we want another Phil Bardsley style **** storm!

    Played in the right way i.e not how he was used a Liverpool, he is a real handful and a threat.

    Two things that put me off is that the price is steep, and he has had off field issues. I do not know if he has moved on from the latter, or if being back in the NE would perhaps rekindle these issues.

    As for him being a Mag, doesn't he apparantly have family that aren't that way?

    not for me either. I want open attacking football..not route one hoof ball aiming for a central striker. There's that reason and I also think he is a twat, which doesn't help his cause with me at all

    Talent-wise; yes. But he is injury-prone and, as mentioned above, a bit of a dickhead. The mag thing doesn't worry me as much as the other stuff.

    Hes always injured, or drunk. Would cost too much and would want too much pay. Not for me

    15m for that piece of ****...

    You could find somebody outside of Britain, similar to Andy Carroll, for a third of the price.

    Carroll would be fantastic for us alongside Fletcher.

    Simple as that.

    I would support PDC, simple fact is Carroll would not fit into PDC's ethic so he wont try and sign him.

    Introducing a code of conduct and discipline while signing andy Carroll is a direct contradiction in terms

    He needs Kevin Nolan to keep him right, he has only really played well with Nolan somewhere in tow. Can't see either coming to us.
