Where´s Carrol then....loan or permanent move?
Got to be one of the hardest jobs in football when assessing academy graduates. Will they be good enough as a pro, if yes are they good enough for Spurs (what is good enough for Spurs?). Look at Ramsey at the scum, almost everyone writing him off, then has an amazing season, now looks average again. Then there is Mason who never looked anything than a championship player (I think Millwall fans even booed him when he was on loan, might have him mixed up with another loan player), then from out of nowhere and at the age of 23 brakes through into first team and holds his own.
As for Carroll, I like him but has he got what it takes to play for Spurs? Will he make us better? I'm not convinced. I am in no doubt however that for the
short term he could improve the spirit and mentality of the team if played with Bentaleb, Mason, Kane, Walker, Townsend, Naughton, Rose and Captained by Lennon. I'd rather watch this lot give it their all fighting for the club and each other than what I am currently watching. Weather he or the others have the talent to make us into a great side again (by that I mean a team winning cups and challenging for titles) I'd have to say no unfortunately.
