I hope you're being sarcastic... I really really hope so. But I can never be sure because of your Engerland bias.

Just in case you're not (and because we can never ever get enough of this goal).

Im never sarcastic. Zlatan has nothing on Carroll right now because Zlatan has been fit for like 2 months and not even played.
He hasn't scored a bicycle kick like that in a competitive league If you say the one for Sweden in that friendly vs England which was just a lobbing one then it isn't the same nor as good.
Carroll caught that bicycle kick pure and perfect due to the insane power he generates from the strike, it is unstoppable.

This is just a lob..

i suspected you were crazy for actually wanting carroll and thinking he is a premier league winning player, but now its no longer suspicion. youre definitely crazy if you think carroll is anywhere near as good as zlatan. zlatan at 21 was probably better than carrolls been his whole life.
his bicycle kick was tremendous but that doesnt suddenly make him better than zlatan rofl. its not even fair to call zlatans "just a lob". the accuracy in direction and power executed in that kick is absolutely immense
also if were comparing bicycle kicks (i still think that zlatan one is one of the best), a like for like comparison against carrolls would be rooneys vs city. rooney wins that comparison easily simply because of the quality of opposition and historical significance

He hasn't achieved what Zlatan has of course not, Zlatan got carried by Mourinho god then played in little leagues :D :D

But in seriousness i stand by Carroll bicycle kick is best ever, its outstanding the power, the precision and it was against a great Big Sam palace side :3

Maybe Chelsea is planning to emulate the Liverpool's Sturridge role here.

Yo Mourinho is the Bulba nayumi xD
GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME

But Carroll offers us alot in terms of what Conte wants as plan B or maybe even a pairing who knows.

Anyway some bad news came out Jim White who is friends with Brady/Sulivan the West Ham owners spoke to them and they said Chelsea have not been talking to "us" (west ham) about Carroll at all.
My guess would be that the only dialogue the two clubs have had is over taking Batman on loan.

no, that happens to a player who has spent a considerable amount of time injured and has shown glimpses of being good enough to be a first team player at best.

Lots of people love Arsenal and mean it. Doesnt mean shit if it doesnt translate on the football pitch. Guess we should just put that Arsenal Fan TV dude on the pitch to replace Sanchez then eh ? Who needs Miki.

It's just PL in 2018, so 2 games. Still proves that big sam is shit


Bullshit, Big Sam is a proven PL masterclass. Give him 500 million and watch what he does... Guaranteed 4 shots on target!


I'm sure Arsenal can do better man, or at least pick a better time to do it. They just lost Sanchez with no replacement in sight, Ozil plus some other key players are in the last year of their contract, and you offer a paycut to the only player that is performing well and might be the future captain of the team? That's just bad management imo.

i severely doubt the paycut was the only change in his contract. it is probably the only one that got reported because it talks shit about arsenal.
id bet that the contract contains clauses that guarantees bonuses based on number of appearances which, if he manages to stay fit and play for a full season, will result in him actually having gotten a pay rise. its a very reasonable thing for arsenal to cut his pay if he cant be relied on to stay fit yet promise a rise should he recover form


even if that were true it would still put him down below Theo Walcott a lot which is a fucking joke


Yes it is, but thats because Theo Walcotts contract is a joke. Shitting on Walcott getting all that money is fair game, because it was one of the dumbest b but I see nothing wrong with the Contract Wilshere has gotten.

Criticizing a club for smartening up "somewhere" is at best counter productive.

The two biggest earners in Arsenal are about to leave for free though (in Sanchez case they going to get a player probably instead) so i don't think they have "no money" to offer Wilshire though.

Sanchez & Ozil on 140k a week each
Wallcott was 110k a week

All of that is now gone, making Kolsasanic the highest earner lol then followed by RAMSEY who is injured just as much as Wilshire on 110k a week too. Yet they going to offer Wilshire like 70k a week or something and offer him huge incentives in terms of getting top 4 and winning a cup gets u more money. Seems a bit harsh for a player who wants to stay and loves the club.

Ask any Arsenal fan who their favorite player is right now and im sure 99% of them will reply Wilshire.

rooney's vs city is the same style just better, imo. I mean for sure this is a great bicycle kick, no disputing that, I don't actually mind putting it above Zlatan's, that's all personal preference.

But if you were to compile a list over the 25 best goals scored by Carroll+Zlatan, there would be 1 Carroll goal there and 24 Zlatan ones. I know/hope you were only trolling, but those two players just are not comparable.

I think Carroll is a quality signing as long as he stays fit. He is technically good. A poor version of zlatan/ lukaku. Definitely an upgrade over bats.

And lol chelsea and Morata...

I think both have underperformed, but it's not entirely their fault. Manchester united lack creators for lukaku, especially when pogba is absent. He can't really do much without the supply.

Conte's style doesn't suit Morata. He is not strong/aggressive enough to play a lone striker tasked to chase stray balls. Thing is Costa was a good fit for conte system, but clearly the coach thinks otherwise. Lukaku is probably a better fit too, but he chose man u.

I think Morata would suit arsenal or liverpool more. These teams don't leave their offence so isolated.

I think Morata doesn't suit EPL football at all. Liverpool's game is too quick for his liking and at Arsenal he'll just be another Giroud to be completely honest with you. He'd be better off going back to Liga or Serie A. If Real is getting Icardi this summer then Inter might be a good destination.
