Assuming the Eriksen signing gets done, Carroll needs to be loaned out for the season.
I can't even see him being involved in Europa league matches with the amount of depth we have acquired during the transfer.
With Rose and Townsend returning better players from loan, and Luongo looking very good for Swindon, Carroll on loan needs to happen this season. He didn't play much last season and two seasons of little football is not good.
His development is going to stall if he doesn't play, I don't want him to turn into another Bostock.
Plus with Rose and Townsend returning, our home grown quota should be OK for the 25 player squad purposes. We also have Fryers who will probably be the last player on the 25 player list to cover Rose at left back (would probably be a 2nd cover option as Vertonghen would shift from CB to LB if Rose is unavailable) and as a 5th centre back option should injuries hit the defence.
