They're certainly not a passing team. They're very direct, either through counter attacking or simply relying on a big target man.

Hull would be an ideal option. Bruce is building the team around Big Tom . At the very beginning of the season i doubted their players for example David Meyler , Rosenior , Danny Graham , Sagbo etc.....could play the passing game. However from what i have watched in the first half season especially in last two months they started playing well ,at least better than i expected .
Plus they do not have many CMF (Hud , Livermore , Meyler . You can count in Koren as well) .

Not sure about ideal but certainly the right kind of club.

Not really. He reminds me more of Leon Britton.
Not at all. I would like Carroll to Carrick perhaps. Holds his position in the middle of the pitch and generally uses the ball quickly and well. Left footedness helps the comparison as well
Agree , much of their game is about passing .

Interesting. Comparing the scum to us, our passing ability sucks. There was a period under Rednapp when VDV and Modric were playing where we passed the ball well. But now its an issue. It maybe due to the lack of stability and team shape, or the personnel. But it sounds like Carroll could help our midfield pass the ball around more.
Caroll and Eriksen
- They are almost exactly the same age - born just over a month apart
- Same height 1.77 m
- Same weight 71 kgs (though I haven't weighed them recently : )
Both technical players. Whatever that means!

I always thought Carrick could play equally well on his left or right foot. That's how he looked to me.
Modric THFC

Play him for the next 6 months we have nothing to lose tbh.

Carroll for me needs to be playing in a more techinical league than the Championship, he's not suited to it. Then again maybe if he gains some upper body strength he could be fine but I will say that he's another player who best suits a 3 man midfield. The guy can influence a game from deep or up top
If Carroll comes back, I think Holtby will be sent out and possibly sold in the summer. Likewise, I think Capoue might be let go in the summer and Livermore brought back, assuming Sherwood keeps his job. Sig is another who might get sold. I think Chadli will change in and out with the forwards rather than the wide players.
Then it goes:
right------------------------------centre--------------------------------left
lennon/lamela------paulinho/dembele--sandro/bentaleb/livermore----eriksen/carroll/townsend
There's a lot of versatility within that group too.

Carroll isn't proven at all so he needs to show his mettle wherever he's at, and then prove that he's better than Holtby.
Also we need to consider the other scenarios may include the possibility that for whatever reason, we lose our established and best midfield players. Would hate to see Capoue go and then we get raided and then have to resort to panic buys.
