Andy Carroll back on the radar. I'd be happy with that at least we would hopefully score from a corner for a change.

He's someone that we've missed in the derby. Defenders can't live with big strong strikers like carroll. And he'll give a bit of passion

I hope so, I think we are on about getting him for 15 mil, but the only problem is his demand for wages, he was on 150,000 at Liverpool and similar at west ham and I know for definite that Newcastle would not pay that

{Ed008's Note - He was not on 150,000 a week at either club..

Have him back tomorrow.

yeah because 2 games a year count for so much. Short sighted or what! They'd probably be the only 2 games he'd be fit for any way.

A slow, non-scoring, perma crock, hoof ball magnet on huge wages. Yeah just what we need. We need fast mobile goal scorers, not a half season wonder we got v lucky on.

If we did go for this then I'd want another striker brought in as cover. When fit, Carroll is a very effective player but that's the problem, he's rarely fit. 15 mill is a bit of a gamble and for a similar priceor just a bit more we could do better. Not sure what the situation is with Benteke's fitness but he may be a better bet. Or perhaps Rhodes or Ings. Not sure what's out there tbh but hopefully the club do and we get a couple more good players in.

Think you're being hard on the lad. Yes he has suffered with a bad injury but seems to be finding his way back and as for being a hoof ball magnet he's very underrated on the deck and a lot better than most out there. IF we can get him for £15 mil that's a bargain after Fulham paid 11 for Mc Cormack.

how can you say we would play hoof ball we've signed attack minded players who play wide as well as thru the middle andy doesn't just win balls in the air he can hold the ball up and bring others into play,we played with 3 up front last season with wide players putting in crosses,and i'd rather have big andy on the end of them than remy/cisse or luuk de yong .germany won world cup they didn't play hoofball,but had klose who is a big lad and not the quickest lead the line.

Ings looks a really good player and is still very young. If we got him and say he had 2 good seasons in the premier league he would be £20mil+.

11.) 21 Jul 2014
Ings Whickham in diguise who would be a better buy at a lot less
