The case for keeping 35Million Carroll

In light of Suarez's ban is the original question I posed now more relevant? I'm sure my point about maybe keeping Carroll is a little galling to some given the love for Suarez - But it surely has to be considered. It's not ideal but it is a means to an end ultimately.
Unless we can sell and replace him with someone decent, do not sell - we need to have at least 3 strikers next year (Borini, Sturridge & him).
I'm not Carroll's biggest fan I assure you. I just can see how in light of the Suarez ban he might prove to be a good option (to explore at the very least)
But chances are he will be shite for the first couple of months anyway. Fuck him off and get someone in who can perform immediately. I suggest Wilfried Bony.
Whenever you say sign Wilfried Bony I think of 'Billy The Kid' - Damn my knowledge of late 19th century cowboys.
Why would Carroll be shite at the start of the season? Hopefully he'll start the season
A) Not injured
B) Have a good pre season behind him
C) LFC ban him from going to Ibiza et al.
D) He'll be motivated to succeed.
Maybe.... 😉
I love William H.Bonney myself. He is possibly my favourite cowboy.
Carroll is more Billy The Fish. As in his drinking. And about as much use on a fitness bike.
LOL @ Billy The Fish
More like Billy the Cod then
Is the right answer.
Bony has 30 goals this season in 27 games.
Suarez and Van Persie also came from the Eredivisie.
Carroll also looks like Billy The Fish by the way

Billy The Kid said he shot 12 but really he shot about 6. 😉
Regarding Carroll - He was fucking immense today.
Finally! Someone who agrees with me. Me and you @Portly against them all.
LOL - I suppose that's true.
That's only about 2 league games I think, which is hardly worth the risk of him picking up injuries scuppering a deal, should we want to sell him.
West Ham will buy him. 15-17 million I reckon. Fat Sam is just blowing bum smoke to try and drive down the price. He's perfect for them.

Is he looking alot leaner and faster on his feet than when he was with us ? If so is that just because he's now getting a run of games or because West ham have changed his training plan ( wasn't he on some muscle building plan with us ? )
I think so too. I'd be made up if we got anything like that however. It seems more likely that they'll negotiate the price down to something closer to 10M. I hope we don't give in and insist on a high fee.
I agree he is more than just a big lump up front.
If they can give us Diame in part exchange, I'd even settle for 8m.
No way is Diame worth 9 million then according to the logic price of Carrol is 17 million.
We should stand firm, we shouldn't appear to sell a 23 yr old English striker on the cheap good form with ability to do a lot more than he has credit for.
I know LFC should back the manager but I really think the lad deserves a go, if players like Downing can be a given another chance then why not. He's more than a big lump up front...
