I would, but not for the reasons you list.

I was there when he scored 'that goal' against us at the Olympic stadium and it's the best goal I've ever seen. I was also there, front row, post just off to my left when Girould scored 'that goal' against us (personally, I think he threw a leg out knowing f*** all about it) and I can tell you.that Carrol is f***ing mustard on his day, not a fluke about it (unlike Girould, who incidentally just scored one of the best headers I've ever seen for Chelski)

I'd therefore take the punt on skill alone: we've got benkkers at the moment who's a head on a stick and we can't find him, nor do we play to his strengths. Would Carrol fair better?

Yeah, on balance I agree. I think Wickham is a talented footballer, but why risk the salary to put someone on the medical table?

Of the talented but injury prone and costly (wages) strikers I'd rather go with Sturridge or Welbeck.

When not in the treatment room they'd give us something different up top. As someone mentioned we've already got the 'big lad' up top for when we whip in the crosses. Now that's not currently going too well, whether it's down to the player or the 'whipped crosses' or both.

Wilf and andros don't whip crosses in, that's our issue when we play benteke,

He is a big strong lad, perhaps he could help with the re-build of the old stand.

Pay as you play means when injured no pay. Thoughts?

Agreed
