Having an option such as Carroll, not only to keep our options open at the start of games, but to offer something entirely different at the end of matches when things get tight, namely the ability to get forward and get involved in those tight spaces, could be crucial. So I think continuing to stockpile these more physical options isn't a wise idea, as we limit our options late in games and make ourselves entirely too predictable.

I think he acquitted himself very well at Swansea and would love to see him graduate into a Modric role. I still worry about his frailty, he hasn't had Modric's experience playing in the Bosnian 3rd division!

My Mrs works in the city for Rupert Lowe and I've been driving her mad for info about schneiderlin, apparently Rupert signed him . Anyway sadly mutd or Woolwich , can't see him coming to us. Also hated redknapp called him a shipwreck of a manager,really liked Glenn as a coach but thought him strange.

Love that transfer rumours now involve social media. Imagine the pandemonium if he made Lloris his top friend on Bebo

Just because Bayer L are in the CL does not mean we can't get Lars Bender. Ajax were in the CL and we took their two best players on separate occasions. Money, PL and London do have their advantages like I said. They are only in the qualifying round of the CL anyway, and are not a European elite club.


A good point, didn't we get berbatov shortly after he played in a champions league semi final ?

Didn't he give an unattractive verbal descrip of the owners daughter and was cast out?

In all fairness, the team he was loaned out to is one of the top teams in Bosnia :cool:

At 25million I'm not having Schneiderlin at all. Southampton are asking for a disproportionate amount of money.
That's close to what we sold Modric for who is truly world class. As good as Schneiderlin is he's not close to Modric's quality.

Paulinho, Soldado and Lamela say hi.

If Rupert Lowe's calling you strange, you can rest at ease....Kettle/Pot/Black comes to mind.

Did he? Gosh, Carroll seems such a nice quiet boy. I don't remember any stories about either Caulker or Carroll allegedly doing that... quick google came up blank on the first page

Yeah but market inflation and all that plus two entirely different circumstances as well.

As I remember it, it was Caulker who made a comment, and it was a nasty comment about Lewis' daughter while on the squad's visit to Uncle Joe's boat that summer which the wrong set of ears overheard.

That is complete rumor of course. I don't remember anything at all about Carroll saying anything at the time. Maybe it's that he made it in jest to Carroll and that's where the association came from (if it's at all true of course).

We way undersold Modric. In today's market he's 50 million
