John Carew Signs for Inter

[peter w]

Good luck to him. I'll watch a game or two if he plays.

[Holte L2]

I'd have taken him as back-up.  Not because of his playing ability.  We know he's more or less finished.

But with us lacking leaders, he could have been a great influence in the dressing room for the younger lads.  Maybe even come on with 10 mins to go when we need to steady the ship.

Really?

I'd suggest Carew is way, way off being a good influence on the younger players. If we're into signing players for that motive (and we shouldn't be), then we could do much better than him.

Exactly, most of the time he looked as if he couldnt care less and needed motivating during his final year.

Past his best. Not a patch on Benteke. Wouldn't have signed him for any reason at all.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I liked the big man, Always have and always will. Good luck to him

[eastie]

I liked him too but he was past his best when he left and i certainly wouldnt want him now.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't want him back now anyways

[dave.woodhall]

The influence and leadership of a player with the physique of a Viking and the resilience of a librarian? No thanks.

[Damo70]

I liked him while he was here but with our current striking options and his record since he left us (one goal in ten PL games for Stoke and two in nineteen championship games for West Ham) unless he is secretly a great centre half or central midfielder I don't exactly think we have missed out over this.

[Meanwood Villa]

The big issue here is what happens to the Norwegian slasher movie he was making?

[eamonn]

Whats the Inter fans reaction - Archie, fbrai, other Italian Heroes?

[eastie]

They are now going to give him a trial before deciding whether to offer him a 12 week deal - i expect once they see him train they will put him straight back in a taxi to the airport.

Seem's like there is conflicting reports from the deal has fallen through to going on trial first. I thought i'd read he'd been training with them anyway already, so then having a trial seems strange?

if he ever plays even a minuet for Inter i'l eat my sow'wester
