I don't think the Carroll move was all that bright in retrospect, but I can see why they would loan him with a view to a sale. Better that than him sitting on the bench rotting away and massively devaluing. Still think it was short-sighted though. Thing is, all those complaining FSG didn't spend big are overlooking the fact that the last two managers wasted an enormous amount of cash. Our £35m striker from last year is gone on loan, Adam has gone for half price, our £20m winger has become a back-up FB and we can't even find a home for Henderson. Our buys over the last few years have been so poor we could barely raise £10m in transfers even though we shipped out so many players, while about £85m in transfers have effectively halved in value in one season alone. That's not the owners fault, that's RHs and KDs fault. Pointing to Spus canny busy dealings over looks the fact they just made huge returns on Modric and VDV. So, rebuilding no, damage limitation in fact.
