If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Erm, Valencia?

Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Bilic likes experimenting with players, perhaps he could put Randolph up there.

Fletcher, hopefully.

But probably Valencia.

Won't be long till Calleri gets here and he'll be fit from playing for Argentina. In the meantime, I suppose Norman Stanley might get a chance.

Beat me to it Hermit.

Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Trouble with Ayew getting injured is that it means we're less likely to get shot of Valencia.

Sakho

Sakho should be played Thursday with fletcher in a 4-4-2
Get the cunt fit and get him in the window

Antonio would make a good striker

What's ayews injury ?

Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Noble up front, Adrian CDM and Quina in goal. Sorted.

Ginge pele up front ...sorted

Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

I think Valencia played 6 league games up front last season and scored 4 goals. I'd rather him play there than on the wing where he does fuck all. Actually I'd rather we sold him and got another striker in but...

If Carroll is injured probably Ayew

Or Sakho
Or Calleri
Or Valencia
Or Fletcher

If Bilic sorts out Sakho .... he could still be massive for us

lab 10:23 Tue Aug 16
Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Of course dazz , he won't wanna sit on sidelines and if he wants to move he needs to score .

Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

I don't think Bilic has got any choice. The bloke is worth £15m+ and has 3 seasons left on a contract and is too injured to be transferred.

If he doesn't play Sakho and drops him from a 25 man squad then we are paying his wages for fuck all and his value will plummet.

Or if Sakho refuses to play, or keeps claiming he's injured, nobody will want him.

So for best parties Sakho getting fit and being part of the first team is a no brainer all round.

Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Antonio!!... i think would be a revelation up front ,strong,quick and knows where the goal is!!..better than that one dimensional player we have up there at the mo..without crosses the guys brings nothing to that team!! ..and it's not like he's gonna get many games at RW as Bilic fancies Feghouli there clearly & also we've got boat load of them now!!

Eddie B 12:23 Tue Aug 16
Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

Bilic couldn't sort out Sakho last season, what makes people think he's got the inclination to do it now?

i-Ron 12:31 Tue Aug 16
Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

didn't he score in our last home game when we beat man utd?

Geoff 2:08 Tue Aug 16
Re: If Carroll gets injured, who goes up front?

I would play Antonio up front. He is more mobile than Carroll, faster than Carroll and, although he can't head the ball as well as Carroll, he has proved capable up top in the past. Having him in the starting line up in his best position, and not somewhere where his attacking instincts are curbed, would give us more options imo.
