Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll is delighted at being handed the club's iconic number nine shirt.

More...
 
soon enough we'll see if he's worthy of the shirt. not sure why but my feeling tells me that im gonna be disappointed lol
 
'We love you Carroll, we do!'

Let's hope he doesn't disappoint but currently my number 1 Toon player. (K)
 
I have the same feeling as cmh as well :S
 
Bit early for him, he's gotta lot of pressure.


Lol jk, it's only a number.
 
obviously hughton believes he has what it takes to live up to the number's reputation, i hope that he does well and doesnt feel the pressure of playing in it.
 
I like him. Strong player, decent finisher, good in the air. Doubt he will come close to shearer but I reckon he will develop into a good Premier League standard striker.
 
I think this is basically just saying 'We can't afford to bring in another striker this summer'.

Meh.

He's even worse than Heskey!

Though, his goal against Carlisle was decent, I think League One is more his level.

Who knows what Hughton was thinking, eh?
 
Team then:


GK: Harps
LB: Enrique
CB: Colo
CB: ??? (Steven Taylor will leave)
RB: Ryan Taylor (I think we need a better one though)
RM: Routledge (Again, better needed but £££ is the problem)
CM: Nolan
CM: Guthrie
LM: Jonas
ST: Carroll
ST: Lovenkrands (Could use better?)


It's not too bad to be honest. We have a good chance of staying up.

Stevie Taylor will go though. :(


Strengths: Carroll, Nolan, Jonas, Guthrie.

Weaknesses: Right Midfield, Right Back, Colo (A liability).
 
Team Should be this:

GK: Harper
LB: Enrique
CB: Colo
CB: Williamson / Steven Taylor if he stays.
RB: Perch / Simpson / Gosling
RM: Guthrie (Routledge, if we are desperate)
CM: Nolan
CM: Smith
LM: Jonas
ST: Carroll
ST: Lovenkrands

IMO, we need someone to replace Lovenkrands, and a better right winger.

Pretty much agree though Gosling is injured until the end of the year I think.

The Right is looking pretty poor at the moment and Hughton should know this.

I saw reports of us snapping up Diarra but can't see that happening unfortunately. :S
