Which player would you like to see take over from Luka Modric?

In my opinion he won't work. For teams that want a target man to hold the the ball up then great. For teams the use pace and movement he'll struggle to be effective.

Can you imagine Carroll keeping up with Bale or Lennon to get on the end of their crosses?

If he was mobile with pace then yes I could see him working, but he's neither of those.

He'd be back up to Ade and a pretty good plan B (as Crouch should have been), but I wouldn't want to pay much more than 10m for him and Liverpool wouldn't let him come to us for anything less than a ridiculous fee.

I've always been of the opinion he moves rather well for his size and tends to dominate defenders.

I'd also rate him as one of the Top 3 strikers aerially in the Prem

I believe AVB is fortunately cultured enough to not result to lumping the ball up to the big guy for his plan B therefore the purchase of Carroll to Spurs will never happen. Now if Harry was still here....
 
Daniel, you know that to do

I actually think he could thrive with us - all about the right context, imv

I agree, I think with the support our team looks like providing he could fire them in regularly.

Strong in the air, strong in general - but also has decent feet. Can work an angle to score.

I think he has been a total flop at Liverpool, and honestly I cant think of a solid reason why (perhaps the price tag/expectation?) but he was very good at Saudi Sportswashing Machine - people forget IMO.

One of his last games was against Arsenal (Saudi Sportswashing Machine won, iirc) - he dominatied every single ball in the air - had never seen such a complete performance from a Prem striker in the air for a very long time - an absolute monster, immense.

He was very good in the Championship with Saudi Sportswashing Machine, OK in the Prem but 6 goals in 42 appearances for Liverpool says that something isn't right with him.

A loan back to Saudi Sportswashing Machine would often be what happens in these situations, unless he's burned those bridges.
