Tom Carroll signs season long loan

[moon_safari]

Imo he will play for England, he's the absolute nuts

[QPRDave]

Is he anything special?....I realise he must be quite good, to be a Spurs player but will he improve us?..What does he do ...winger?...Adel type? ...Defensive? ...all of these?

[Yousef]

Don't know how good he is but I really hope he makes the same impact Kyle Walker and Andros Townsend did.

[QPRDave]

ok cheers yousef

Creative CM. English lad from Watford. Spurs won't sell him, only loan him. That'll do for me!!

[Shepherds Mush]

He's a creative CM who Spurs reckon given time and games will be the new Luka Modric.

Havent seen that much of him personally but if he is getting interest from Ajax (reportedly), then he must be decent !

Thanks chaps....so cm?.....so we'll play only one of Barton or Henry in there then alongside this kid

He ain't here yet, but we could sometimes play five in the middle

Barton Henry
Phillips Carroll Holliett

With one of AJ or Austin up front.

Or

Barton Carroll Henry Holliett

Or

Phillips Barton Carroll Holliett

Lots of options. Fingers crossed we get him and keep Barton and hopefully a striker and some left sided defensive cover.

When have you seen him play then 77?....Seems alot of excitement from a few

Haven't seen him; not remotely in the know. A Spurs pal says he's good; Spurs don't want to sell him; he did a good job at Derby on loan; Harry wants him; and we've done we'll with Sours loanees in the past, haven't we? Worth a punt for little cost. He seems young, hungry and keen. You've gotta be good to make it as a trainee at a top ten club because English lads rarely get a look in because of all the foreign talent endlessly imported in.

Maybe but I think more like start off on the flank rather than straight into CM, probably as a sub for a while too, when the team needs extra twinkle toes to open teams up.

Just thought that was why we have SWP Hoillett Phillips?

well 46 games is plenty for everyone.

hes not a winger, i was just guessing if he arrives he might ease into the team as a midfield sub and take time to adjust to cm in the championship rather than be dropped straight in there.

I guess the strategy will be to let Henry and Dunne to kick lumps out of the opposition, bring Carrol on just after half time, sit back and enjoy the resultant massacre....
