Linked with Tom Caroll today

1.) 21 Aug 2014
Apparently he's a good player so could be good bit for next season probably

2.) 21 Aug 2014
Such an average player, would honestly rather throw Grant in the deep end as he'll be better than Carroll. Pearce knows best I guess

3.) 21 Aug 2014
The Gaffer worked with him at 21 level. had spells in the Championship on loan

4.) 21 Aug 2014
In my opinion I hope not. Been on loan to many clubs and not many fans have a good word for him. Potential yes application it appears no.

Apologies - for the ignorant amongst us - Who's Tom Caroll? Who does he play for? Position?

Ed - Seen as you're the only person I listen to on here (rightly or wrongly) is he any good?

{Ed034's Note - he's a DM who will not win you games, but will allow the more attacking players to do what they do best.
Usually plays the simple pass and can frustrate fans as he seems to pass sideways, but is a steady player and one than can improve

Hi Ed,

Just been speaking to a QPR friend of mine and they were glad to see the back of him as he brought nothing to the team. 22 years old and apparently not improving at all so in my opinion we have better at the club already.

{Ed034's Note - have heard the same but he is well thought of, so I would think he's one of those players who does the boring stuff, which fans don't like seeing.
pearce obviously knows what he can bring, if anything and if he thinks he'll be an asset then he'll bring him in

I wouldn't say he is a DM, perhaps a deep-lying playmaker but not really a defensive-minded player.

He's like a poor-mans, latter-day, Paul Scholes. Decent ability and range of passing but not enough clinical end product. He's not far off being Tom Cleverley, to be honest!

You never know, these slow-paced, Pirlo-esque players sometimes take a bit longer to mature and impose themselves but I agree that on most of the viewings I've seen of him he doesn't do enough.

8.) 21 Aug 2014
If he is being mentioned In a thread along with a poor man's Pirlo Scholes or Cleverley then wouldn't be a bad squad player. It is clear that we need depth In the holding midfield rile and I am sure SP can bring the best from him.

Wheres Vaughan these days

10.) 21 Aug 2014
Vaughn as due to play in a behind closed doors game today.

11.) 21 Aug 2014
As gomez says wheres vaughan and the new lad from hamburg is a dm so why would we need even more cover when we have two players to intoduce to the squad already. He may not get much game time and with everone banging on about ffp do we need to waste snother wage.

"He's not far off Cleverly".

So pretty useless then. Really irritates me that so many English players fear losing the ball so mich they just square ball.

Henderson at Liverpool is a prime example. Poor and Cleverly is so overrated IMO. I honestly would have Lansbury ahead of him
