Poor loan move, he's 21 isn't he? not really a kid anymore, I'm stunned he couldn't get a prem loan.

Surely it is better to see what happens and the details of the loan before we jump to conclusions
Modric THFC
Jimmy McCormick
Bet he wont start more than 2 Championship matches before he is recalled in January. I mean neither Jenas nor Faurlin can get a start there in his position.

Arry talking about Carroll now and it sounds very positive. He's apparently going to be an integral part of the team and "they're going to play through Tom".
if he isn't part of the plans by next season then we should sell him. Cant loan a player out for years, we have to either play him eventually or sell him.
That's a good point.
I am disappointed by this also but realistically his chances are going to be limited at Spurs to say the least.
We know he's technically very gifted but lacks strength and speed of thought both of which should be improved by Championship football. Hope he does well and Harry isn't bluffing about his importance.

Exactly, Carroll is a player in the style of Modric, and Harry certainly knew how to play Modric.
If Harry plans to build the team play around Caroll, that's exactly what he needs, along with pitch time, highly unlikely he would get both elsewhere.

Like many here I'm quite positive about this.
The important thing for Carroll is the playing style of the team he's at, not the style of the league he's in.
Carroll's strengths are on the ball, in possession. Playing for a team fighting relegation in the PL might not have allowed him the chance to play to his strength. As a result he could very easily have been replaced by some more experienced "clogger" as that can be more useful in that situation.
There aren't a lot of PL sides that play a style that suits Carroll, most of the ones that do have some very good passers in midfield already. Overtaking them might prove very tough. Redknapp apparently wants to give Carroll plenty of game time.
Redknapp knows all about Carroll, like he did about Townsend. He knows what he's getting and he will know how to fit him into his side. Another manager might not have.

According to a QPR supporting mate of mine, Redknapp has been talking him up and saying that they will play everything through him.
It will be interesting to see how they line up. I could see them moving to playing one up front and a five man midfield to accommodate him.

I thought Carroll was excellent tonight for the U21s, popping the ball about, slide rule passes, that little chip at the end for Kane through on goal, beautiful stuff
But oh my GHod how good is Wilfried Zaha? Makes Redmond and all the other guys look like amateurs. He played Ronaldo on acid tonight. In a good way.

you know what, i forgot they signed both :lol:
I was just going back on the team that beat Leeds.
in that case, replace Hoillett with Niko and replace Hill with Benny
