Well Cole is coming to the end of his contract, we had a chance for a nominal fee and the opportunity certainly in the case of Adebayor to bring in a better player to raise the standard of the squad. Adebayor could have had a real impact second half of the season, more so than Cole so I can totally understand the reasoning whether Carroll is fit or not.ashbanki wrote:If Carroll is not serious, what was the point in chasing Gomis,Adebayor and Lambert (who would all expect to play) as replacements for Carlton??
The whole objective should be to look to continue to raise the standard of the squad. It would be Allardyce's problem to fid out who to pick and leave on the bench. The top clubs have had these same problems for years, good to see us finally having these difficult match day decisions to make
