Tom Carroll

[nicdic]

Called up to the England Under 21 squad today! Congrats!

 

[Spurger King]

I still find it hard to believe that he isn't really a 12 year old boy.

 

[Krafty]

Good stuff. He's certainly got the technical ability, and he looks like he is improving on each performance. Certainly a player with potential and it will be interesting to see how far he can go.

 

[mattyspurs]

Has Stuart Pearce finally noticed him then?

He must have finally realised then that Michael Mancienne is shit!!!

Look, Spurg, it's simple. If in doubt you just aask one very easy question:
Is he attracting unnatural attention from Obscene Whinger?
If the answer is YES he is a 12 YO boy.
If the answer is NO he is not a 12 YO boy.

Gettit :shrug:

Glad I could be of help in this matter :wink:

Glad to see Tommy get in the squad..... not sure if he'll play though. But the experience should be great for him

 

[liam17oi]

When is it?

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

I'm delighted for the boy. He's a good footballer.

 

[hughy]

When is it?

Carroll's 18th Birthday?


6 years, apparently.

 

[seany]

When is it?

Iceland is next Thursday on espn and Belgium is on the Monday after not sure if it's live.

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

Well done, Tom!

 

[tommo84]

Maybe playing for the U21s (if he gets any game time) will give us a better assessment of how he's developing as we'll see how he stands up against players at a similar stage in their development.

 

[Dharmabum]

Adam Smith (on loan to MK Dons) was also called up.

 

[stemark44]

FFS don't let that knob Pearce anywhere near him!

 

[not_tenth-again]

Agreed. Pearce was a hatchett man when a player and is doing a equally good job destroying young careers and Englands future prospects.

 

[Narnill]

He did have excellent free kick tekkers though. Not as good as Woan though - the bastard.

Seen him in all four Europa games now and I don't know what the fuss is over this boy. There are some good young Wilshere-type players coming through in England (McEachran, Delph) but Carroll's not in the same league.

I'll be happy to be proven wrong in time though.

50 50 on him, looked great to start with, still young but needs to start producing more, plenty of time for him

i disagree about carroll.. given a little protection & encouraged to be positive & take/run with the ball more i think he could be exceptional.
