Is that because of attitude or ability? He's definitely better than Vincent.
He's also 28 years old and in the same country that he's been in for the entirety of his life.

Not to mention the most important thing a player can be is available for selection - which Carroll practically never is.

Injuries and attitude are Carroll's problem, I may get laughed at, but I really believe he could have been something special

Carroll just doesn't score enough goals when he plays. That's his biggest problem.
His stint at Liverpool showed us how 'special' he might have been.

Carroll is effective at times though but no more than a 10 goal a season striker. Kane is on a completely different level

Would anyone have Carroll in our team as back up to Kane?

No. He's a good player on his day, but he's made of glass. How long do you think he'd last with our training? He'd probably get injured just watching us train.

MotD has turned into a shit sandwich of a show.

Jonathan Pearce should stick to Robot Wars, and to not show all the chances??

Licence payers deserve more.

Carroll regularly has 'injuries' because he has a big cocaine issue. This is well known. Could be a beast but loves the white powder. A big fat no from me.

Tune in next week for another addition of 'he could be a decent Kane back up' when Ighalo scores his first goal of the season for Watford.

When they were showing the Hull game the commentator said something like:

"Hulls new manager doesn't speak very good English but he must've got his message across at HT"

I was expecting a translator in his post match interview and when they got to that bit the guy speaks amazing English, better than Poch.

Call me crazy but I like Callum Wilson and think he could potentially thrive in our system. He's a grafter too, so would likely fit in nicely with our work ethic.
I also think his movement is quite intelligent, Eriksen would like him.

Can Phil Neville be more biased? John Stones was shite, pure and simple. Trying to vindicate him by saying "everyone was culpable" and blaming Otamendi and Clichy. No, they're all shite. Kudos to Shearer for sticking it to him. Phil was hysterical at one point.

That was ridiculous. For the first goal he blamed Toure for not following Mirallas' run. The only reason that was Toure's job in the first place was because he dropped into the back 4 as Stones was 20 yards up the pitch for no apparent reason.

The last goal as well Neville blamed Otamendi for not being closer to Lookman. He said "Otamendi should be expecting Stones to make a mistake" (referring to when his clearance was blocked). Why should he? How about he trusts his partner to clear it properly instead.

I mean they were all crap on the day, but to say that Stones wasn't at fault was stupid and incorrect.
