i honestly don't know what'd be best to do about Carroll. i can't see him really appreciating significantly in value, especially if we sign a replacement. i'm beginning to think we should just cut our losses, though. what'd we get? i reckon defo more than £10m, but possibly no more than £15m.
i'd sell for £15m, i think.

If his Geordie roots aren't a problem, then we should consider loaning him to Sunderland. He'll get minutes under MON, who sets up his teams around a big striker and wide players supplying crosses. If he can get Carroll scoring again, we'll either salvage some value or get back a player in better form.

Was thinking abt a loan spell out for him too, when we have enough striking options to afford that. Enrique certainly benefited from his season of football in the Championship and Carroll also developed in the same season. Give him a season of regular, PL football. MON likes targetmen, doesn't he?
