“This profile strangely resembles that of Andy Carroll”
Laurent Crocis in the Talk on WebGirondins: “After the match against Rennes, he often spoke to us regularly about reinforcing an attacker. But he had indicated that he took refusals, rakes. We work with John Williams, he told us. And when we ask him the question after Granville, the new striker is 1m95, it's a bit the same profile as Andy Carroll, won't that help to maintain this pattern? The answer was no. He evaded it a bit. But, above all, what I felt was that it was not his first choice. He said it half-heartedly, “Yes, but he’s not the attacker I’ve been talking to you about for 3 months.”
In short, it's not what I wanted. It's not the exact term, but we had the feeling that it wasn't his first choice. And, yes, this profile bears a striking resemblance to Carroll's. Wouldn't we have needed a striker who could turn around, create movement around Andy Carroll? I think so. There, we’re going to have a Carroll encore.”
