El Zen Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 He has been very disappointing this season, and has rightfully lost his place in the team to Heskey. If we are to sell one striker in the summer, not counting Harewood, then based on current form I'd say Carew was the one. But that doesn't necessarily mean I think we should sell him.

Richard Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Carew has been a let down Heskey hasn't been a let down as I didn't expect anything of him. Yet again yesterday he had a chance in the box and instead of letting the ball run acoss him and take a shot on his right foot he held it up and tunred to his left into the defenders! Carew has been crap alright but Heskey is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DalianDaley Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 How dare Big JC have a loss of form, its disgusting and totally unprofessional, sell him immediately along with anyone else who may have a dip in form or take too much time to come back from an injury! On a serious note, Carew has always been hit and miss and drifted in and out of form, which wouldnt be a problem if we had others to turn to... but we dont, Gabbys always knackered, The Fonz is still learning the ropes and Heskey is as much use as tits on a nun IMO we should bin Heskey off and keep Carew, at least Carew can come up with a bit of magic now and then, that and the fact he can actually hit the target. Thought he played well yesterday too, was unlucky not to score twice if I remember correctly Sell Heskey and The Hare - Keep Carew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poise Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 See this is what I mean, Carew misses two chances and he is unlucky. Heskey missed two chances also and he is labelled 'USELESS'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thread title and poll are not the same. And if we sold him we'd be looking at £6 million plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancharlie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 carews a loose cannon awesome one day, atrocious the next. he is reminscent of a certain dalian atkinson in that respect! i'd keep him as he likes it here and is a danger. i do not think carlton cole is the answer!

The difference between "unlucky" and "useless" is one draws two fine saves from the keeper, where as the other ends up sailing a mile over the bar and into the stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 See this is what I mean, Carew misses two chances and he is unlucky. Heskey missed two chances also and he is labelled 'USELESS'. Carews both resulted in shots and saves one of the keepers forehead that he knew nothing about..Heskey didn't even trouble the keeper with his 2 Carew for me isn't really the sort of player you bring on in games , I think he has to start and be in the right frame of mind ... Now if the plan is to get some shit hot super striker then Carew is pretty much useless to us as a 3rd choice striker so I would get rid of him ... I would of course without saying get rid of Heskey ... but with The Hare going as well that would see us having to purchase 3 strikers , which i just don't see happening ..so I suspect Heskey will still play a part next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Carew just isn't fit IMO. He should have played yesterday for 90 minutes even if it half killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 It's always a bit of a disappointment when it turns out to be Carlton Cole (8 goals so far this season for the 14th placed club); Darren Bent (16 goals for the 13th placed club) or Rocque Santa Cruz (3 goals for the 5th placed club). OK ill give you Cole and Santa Cruz...they are both shite...but Darren Bent?? Cmon mate get real even stevie wonder can see that he would score a shed load for us, in fact, the ONLY person that cant (or couldnt) is MoN. He fitted the bill so well it was untrue - young, English, knows where the back of the net is and had on hell of a point to prove when leaving spurs. Unfortunately we missed the boat and if we wanted him now we would have to pay silly money. If we sign Carlton Cole in the summer i honestly think i will cry. Lots.

Reality Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Been like this whole career which is why he has been shipped around Europe his entire career. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 for me, id get rid of both carew & heskey in the summer, and being realistic I think we should go for Penguin Jones and Kris Boyd........ both gettable, and both would fit our style of play...... plus both love getting on the end of crosses in the box.......

Stevo985 Posted February 15, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think Carew needs a run of games to get some good form. But to get a run of games he needs some good form. There's a name for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Get rid. Useless, lazy player who whenever we bring on, certainly doesn't change the game. Were prone to long ball when he plays which makes our football even worse and to add to that when we do find him, he just seems to enjoy giving the opposition free-kicks. Urgh.

There's a name for that... He started like 9 games in a row earlier in the season and scored 1 goal in those 9 starts. Hardly doing himself any favours.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Also, I don't get this "We all know Carew is hit and miss" Erm sorry but by hit and miss, that means in half the games, he's been unplayable and the other half useless. He's had 1 unplayable game this season against Bolton and 1/2 decent games and the rest have been useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I hope Carew stays with Villa for the next couple of seasons. I see him as a regular 70 minute sub when he can come on against tired defences and put himself about for the last 20 minutes. He doesn't need to be match fit or overly committed if his job is to deliver a regular short sharp shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poise Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Nice to see more agree with me than not. I don't wanna come across as a moaner as I'm very happy with the setup at the Villa at the moment. Its just that I know that with a dangerous on form striker up there with Gabby, I know that we can get into that top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Sorry but he comes on everygame and makes no impact at all? Much rather bring on a kid who at least runs around, lifts the crowd with energy, something like Harewood did. He's shit, yes but my God he gave the crowd/team a lift the way he ran about, chasing everything and winning the battles. If Carew scored goals regularly, I wouldn't mind if his overall game was shight but he doesn't and doesn't like he will either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
