Carroll has really impressed me whenever I've seen him and there is that saying if you're good enough you're old enough, but i'm sure AVB would prefer to get some points on the board and ease the pressure before blooding kids in the league. I hope Thudd can get himself fit and back in peak form and shape. I think him and Dembele could potentially be a good combination like Thudd and Modric were the season we first got 4th and the CL.
