if you need a strong centre forward who can hold the ball and head the ball and is good with his feet (unlike Heskey) you do well to look at Andy Carroll
Me and my big mouth!!
I remember posting that last summer in the world cup thread.
Andy Carroll is gonna be the best English forward for years to come , worth £35 million no doubt.
He has an excellent left foot and is immense in the air, never seen a defender get the better of him yet, really strong and still only 22.
If he had to go anywhere then i'm glad it's Liverpool, who look to be rebuilding quite well. Trouble is do they have anybody to supply him?
The circumstances surrounding his departure are hazy to say the least, but i think the transfer request smokescreen was surely down to peer pressure.
Ashley & Lambias have kicked us in the nuts again, but hey we're used to it now.
To be honest nobody will want to come to Newcastle for years to come now or at least until the present regime have departed.
Left it too late anyway to sign a replacement, so we are left with an ageing Lovenkrands, Nile Ranger who is a bit like Bambi on ice at the moment, Leon Best still not sure about him and Ameobi who is very hit and miss, usually miss.
Money has killed the game, lets face it, next it will be a European super league, us piffling little teams just won't be able to compete.
