A bit of hoofball is always welcome in my book.. I mean every team does it from time to time as you have to change it up or you become predictable. I don't think people will mind a bit of hoofball if it lands on his head and in the goal a fair bit.
Dont get me wrong mate, i would love it if Carroll signed as he's a very good player, and i agree that a change of tactic is good, i just wouldnt want it to be a primary form of attack.
Saying that, with Bent, Holman, N'Zogbia and Ireland buzzing round him and working off him, im sure it would creat plenty of chances.
