He had his chance on the US tour and didn't look like he had anything to offer.Would prefer to see Carroll playing with the big boys; he needs to be given the chance to prove he has more to offer than the likes of Sandro, Paulinho and Dembele.
Interesting that Fredericks and isn't with the U21s, and encouraging that Mason isn't.
Squad for SpursXI game against Dagenham tomorrow:
Voss, Ball, McQueen, Lesniak, Sonupe, Winks, Miller, Onomah, Lameiras, Carroll, Ceballos, Oduwa, Akindayini, Obika, Coulibaly.
He was played as the DM which is unfair, when paired next to a DM he can do well. His best performances for QPR were next to Karl Henry but when he was played at DM thats when he struggledHe had his chance on the US tour and didn't look like he had anything to offer.
I genuinely believe that was because he was playing off soldado and then played with Kane.I'm wondering whether Carroll and Ceballos being in the squad means that there are loans on the horizon ? Carroll did not perform on the US tour, Ceballos a more mixed bag, looked very good in one game on tour but decidedly average in another - and those might also be good reasons given the size of squad as they can't all be in the squad to play Celtic.
Also no Coulthirst - is he off on loan to Cheltenham, is that the reason for his omission ? First sighting of Coulibaly this pre-season

Not writing him off but he doesn't deserve to be in the first team over academy grads like Mason and Bentaleb. They both showed more than he did.Bollocks. Almost everyone looked shit on the pre-season tour; almost everyone almost always looks shit on almost every pre-season tour.
Carroll had a total of 90 mins; and in the second game against Chicago he was practically playing in midfield on his own.
Christ people are quick to write off our young players.

And not sure what preseason tour you watched because i thought a lot of our players looked very good.
I've said it before, but a player like Carroll takes time to mature. There's no point expecting him to be a first teamer aged 22. I'm prepared to give him a few more years yet. I think if he can add some defensive nous to his passing game, and gain confidence in the right team environment, he could be a great player. But we have to be very careful with any loans, because we could destroy him if we're not careful.
Is maghoma related to jacques in any way?
