Tom Carroll

[Barry Mead]

I like that, should give him some decent game time and will thus give him an opportunity to show if he can step up

 

[felmani26]

I see no problems with this move whatsoever.

Actually surprised Swansea have gone in for him but if he gets game time and in a position where he can be more influential further forward than chasing shadows then who know's what this loan move might lead to.

 

[Anurag Jo]

This is great.Now we'll know where things stand with carroll at the end of the season.

 

[Essexyid07]

Officially joined Swansea on a season long loan

Just wondering if this could maybe be a "sweetner" for any deal for Bony that we may have in mind?

 

[OneBaxter]

Make or break here. Could come back forcing his way into our team after a great season or he could find himself on the transfer list after doing nothing.

Hope he does well as there's certainly a player there.

 

[Hoddtastic72]

Think TC will rip it up with Swansea this season. Great deal for both sides

 

[yojambo]

Brilliant move, delighted for him.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Such a great loan move for him. It was actually where I wanted him to go last season.

 

[Kiedis]

Great move. Last chance to show himself capable of cutting at our level, methinks.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Just hope he gets more time than McEachran did, they were rated fairly similar.

 

[Syn_13]

Such a great loan move for him. It was actually where I wanted him to go last season.

Same. It's the perfect move for him.

Big season for Carroll if he doesn't impress at Swansea,who play to his style I can't see him making it at spurs.

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

What he need to do is be an automatic starter if he can't become that at Swansea he will never be a premier league player.

 

[Spurs Lodge Kittens]

I wouldn't be surprised if this loan goes the same way as McEachren's - Swansea haven't even got Europa to spread the games out and I imagine that once Britton is fit again then he'll take any minutes Carroll will get

 

[Living Legend Colm G]

I really hope this is a season where he comes good. Said it the other day on here, I think there is a great player in Tom Carroll and hopefully he proves it in top league and then for us in years to come.

 

[Spurger King]

Looking forward to seeing how he does. He's shown glimpses of real talent in the past, but there's always been a doubt about whether he can step up to the level expected in the Prem.

We've obviously seen enough to want to persevere with him, so Swansea gives both us and him a great opportunity. If he performs well enough in training he'll get chances with the first team...and if he performs for the first team he'll be answering a lot of questions. If he remains a peripheral character during his time there then it's reasonable enough to conclude that he's not cut out for the level of football we'd be hoping for.
