Possibly. But I think the reason he didn't come then was because he wanted to go to a bigger club than us. I don't think we've grown that much since then.
Thats because Le Gunners were interested. However chelsea refused to sell/loan to them. That will be even more so the case now they are fellow title contenters
He might come back after he realises not many other options
also he has just spent half a season barely playing that might have something on his mind

they paid less than that when he was supposed to be good, and he's in the last year of his contract. i think we could have had him for six millions.
we could have probably had him and kalou for less than the carroll's money, and more or less the same wages...
(not hindsight, i was of the same idea when we permanently signed carroll, mainly due to his injury record)
Dunno if its mentioned, but the Villa fans who were too ignorant to observe the minutes silence before the game deserved to get their heads kicked in. Bastards

as someone said earlier, they might have been in the concourse without realising the minute's silence was on.
happened to us in coventry a couple of years ago.
besides, there are far worse things happening these days.
like people getting all anal on some alleged offence and deciding to get some heads kicked in.

Most making the noise were not in the concourse, they were in the stands, one even set off a ring tone on their phone whilst laughing to his mates next to him.
Fair play to many Villa fans though her not only respected the minutes silence but were certainly not impress with their fellow fans behaviour.

thanks for that, and as you say, fair play to the "good" ones
i still think that there are bigger problems than a few harmless idiots in a stadium, and that people stepping down to their level (or below) are one of them.
I actually thought that was the worst side to come to Upton Park in years. Absolutely awful. Terrible at the back, no clue other than to kick the ball long to Benteke as a counter attack. A team with a striker would've put that side away for 5. I don't know how they've kept so many clean sheets.
Vlaar as been said was good, but other than that thought they were awful from start to finish, and would've been an absolute theft had they left with 3 points.
As for our support...I think you'll find it was their support who wanted to make digs instead of support the team.
-London's a ****hole
-Cockney scum my lord
-Booing Downing
Is as much as I heard from them all game.
I hope they continue their run of not scoring and that some better teams hit them for many. *****!

The main point I'm making isn't really a general one though, it's about the fact that once we'd signed Carroll. I don't think the board were every really interested in going out and buying another big striker.
Well as he got injured that should have been their priority and thats why we are lower than we should be.
