1. He's slow and lazy - Slow maybe, lazy he'll no. These past few games he's actually worked his socks off.
2. He doesn't score enough goals although primarily playing as a main striker (Bring out the stats children) - I agree, I personally think he'd be better in a 4-4-2. But he's young and still learning.
3. He's on high wage (I believe he's on 90k a week) - He also signed a 6.5 (or 5.5) year contract. So he won't be getting a raise any time soon.
4. He doesn't link well with other players in the team. - Let's just wait and see.
5. For his size and height he has poor heading ability - Bull
6. He cannot play alone up front (See reason no 1) - Yes, but give him some time. It's something he has to adapt to.
7. He has average passing and shooting ability - Average passing yes, but his left foot is a cannon. His precision is questionable though.
8. We hoof the ball whenever he plays up front - Correction, Carra hoofs the ball whenever he plays. I'd love to see how he plays when Suarez, Meireles and Gerrard are in the team.
9. His pricetag - Can't argue with you there. But it's still too early
10. He's sluggish when getting across his man and he don't stretch the oppositions defence (I know Suarez does that but Suarez are not going to play for us ALL THE FUCKING TIME). No he doesn't but he occupies two defenders. This will also give Suarez space.

I appreciate you answer my post Modo...good man.
1. He seldom make defence splitting runs, always wait for the ball to come to him. I would say that lazy.
2. He played in a 4-4-2 formation with Kuyt alongside him against Arsenal and what happened?
3. That's more than 20++mil in 5 years...add that with the transfer fee it would be a mind boggling 55mil.
4. THe question is how long?
5. Tell me how many crosses were straight to him be it from Downing, Enrique or Adam and his header just doesn't have enough power.
6. He played for Newcastle regularly upfront and why the fuck does he need more time to adapt?? ??
7. You agree with me there.
8. You didn't answer me there, i said the team play hoof ball when Carroll upfront, do you agree with me or not? Just a simple Yes or No. Thanks.
9. --
10. I was merely arguing about when he play alone upfront. And you only need one fucking defender against Carroll.
