Carroll's role for next season

If he can stay injury free 20 plus goals would be nice.

a good start to the season for him will make all the difference and keep the paper talk sh*t off his back
carrol and suarez will hit the ground running although we need a winger or two
feel like i,ve been saying that for years

His performance against City put me in mind of Cristian Vieri. He was simply unstoppable and the way he pulled that back four and midfield around winning every 50/50 and bringing people into the play as well as scoring himself twice.

I think we could have a very special target man on our hands and if he can recreate that form consistently then even 35m will look like a bargain.

The thought of him and Suarez fully fit and rampant is mouthwatering, bring it on.

First thing, get your f***in hair cut laddie, you look like a girl(no offence ladies), and you remind me of Veronin,
Second, you need to slow down your Geordie accent so we can all understand you,( Kenny's is allowed he's the boss), shouting 'Whay aye' everytime you score will only confuse your partner wee Luis and of course young Jordan who hates hearing it, for obvious reasons being a former Makem,
Third,
if you have to go clubbing, it does'nt mean literally, in and around Liverpool, clubbing means going out dancing, getting extremely ratarsed, and bedding some tart who will pleasure your every need, and dont forget your court injunction application form has to be completed before your taxi comes,

lastly, you know that round thing full of air that your teamates like to keep a hold of ? well your role is to stick it between the posts and beyond the bloke with the fat gloves,if you can manage to do that 20-30 times a season, the folk in red will quite like you you know, godspeed fella, YNWA.

My personal belief is that we will get the best out of Carrol and the whole team if Kenny sets us up in a 4-2-3-1 system, similar to the way Benitez used to set us up.  We would have two attacking full backs (a new LB needs to be a priority) to swing crosses in from deep or get to the endline and cut balls back across the box.  Have two deep lying midfielders - one holding midfielder focused on defending (Lucas/Spearo) and one deep lying creator with a range of passing and good long shot (Gerrard/Hendo/Shelvey) who can dictate play, keep possession, and guard the back four.  Carrol will operate as the target man to hold the ball up and allow the attack to develop, and also to bang in goals from crosses, set plays, and even a few of those left footed thunderbolts which we all know he is capable of. 

In my opinion, the effectiveness of this system will rely on the movement of the 3 attacking midfield players behind Carrol.  We all know Kenny likes to play pass and move football.  The movement and interchanging of positions needs to come from these 3 players, so it is important that all 3 have a bit of pace, good dribbling skills, the ability to pick a decisive pass or swing in a decent cross, and an eye for goal.  Suarez and Meireles fit this billing perfectly, and I think Maxi will prove to be a good backup in these roles.  I don't particularly fancy Kuyt filling one of these positions because his dribbling/passing is not as good as it needs to be.  I see Kuyt as a backup option for the target man spot. 

So, this leaves us with another position that needs strengthening.  We need a player who can drop deep to receive the ball as well as run through the channels.  Someone who can help create goals for others, as well as score a few himself.  And most importantly, we need someone who will help defend from the front and put pressure on the oppositions defense when in possession of the ball.  I personally believe that a player like Kun/Mata/Turan/Sanchez/Hazard/Lavezzi would be perfect to fill this 3rd attacking midfield position. 

This is, in my humble opinion, how we will get the best out of our Geordie Giant next season. 

Carroll= reason for hoofing, nothing more nothing less. Sorry i just dont like that type of strikers,for 35 mil i rather see 2x Suarez.

Carroll= reason for hoofing, nothing more nothing else

Uh?!?  Surely a reason for crossing or considering his shot has some welly, a reason to cut back to him on the edge of the box.  If we can get him a bit more mobile, he's a daunting prospect.

Come back from your holidays fully fit and raring to go and stick the ball in the back of the net as many times as u can.

Striker

It all depends on who we start. 4-4-1-1 with suarez in the hole giving him the ball and wingers out wide to cross it to his fabulous head.

eat brains, kill people, burn sh*t

Center half .FFS.The lad's a striker.433,,442,4411 he's still a striker

Crap goal scoring record for Newcastle - well for top notch strikers it is. Can't see how he fits into Kenny's fluid quick football plans either. He's plan B at best & thats an awful way to spend £35M

The more you think about it, the worse the deal was...

His main role will be to score goals, surely. Dependant on what sort of quality wingers, left back and midfield options we get then Carroll would have to be lined up for 20+ goals. If he does,nt then I cant see him being able to change his game to suit us, hes not very quick and we seemed to change our game when he played last season (hoofball). I hope i,m wrong but 35 million was a lot of money to waste. If he succeeds, no problem but i can see him coming off the bench alot next season.

Paisley talking

Ah Yes. Quote by Paisley.

Honourable Thoughts Of Chairman Bill.

Owing to current developments a 4-3-2-1 formation looks likely:

                    Reina

Johnson     Agger   Skrtel    Enrique

                   Lucas       
     Adams                   Meireles


Gerrard                                 Suarez
                      Caroll

Errr to stick the ball in the F***ing net as many times as possible,oh and to stick that retard rio ferdinand flat on his arse with a split lip,that,ll do for me.
