Aside from the Villa connections, not sure that he'd work out at Blues. What we need up front is a proper goal-scorer, and Carew lost his place to Heskey (:silence:) last season, then didn't look good at Stoke. Still, as I said in another thread, a bit of depth is the most important thing at the moment and I suppose on a free and reasonable wages it's not too risky.

Aside from the Villa connections, of course :blink:

If we don't manage to offload Zigic ( assuming he ever gets fit again ) then I could not see the point of signing Carew. If we are stuck with Zigic, then we have to use him; and the " massive target up front role" would already be covered.

I normally don't commit myself to gossip,

But

I've heard this is happening!!!

Also been told that Dann is a definite to go ,but the rest including ridge to stay

Guy who told me.... I trust implicitly, and if it doesn't happen then I'd be amazed

Don't shoot the messenger

Dont want John Carew anywhere near this club, Old and just not good enough Imo.

We are desperate for strikers I know but I'd rather utalise the loan market, Chris Wood from Albion would be my shout, young, enthusiastic and knows exactly where the back of the net Is.

Im sorry but john carew and king would s**t on the championship.

Unlikley to happen but this might signal jerome or zigic is off.

Can't see zigic being sold until january with his groin problems however.

I can't see any premier league clubs being after Carew, and if he is happy living in the area there could be something in it...

I would imagine he'd do pretty well in the Championship...

I would actually be very happy if we signed Carew. He is just so strong, when we played them earlier this year i thought he looked a real threat. Our players couldn't get near him. He would score a shed load in the championship.

a fit carew would be better than any striker we have or have had down the blues in years!
the only signing in recent times that the villa have made and ive been genuinely jealous about, seems to have lost his way the last few years tho but if true it could be a superb signing.
not getting my hopes up mind you

That's because he just spends all his time waving at the Villa fans...

To be perfectly honest, whilst they did overpay quite a bit... there isnt many proven goalscorers about, and you most certainly dont pick them up cheap, unless you get incredibly lucky with it.

For every Odemwingie, you can find a Boselli.
For every Santa Cruz (first time at Blackburn), you can end up with a Jo.

Etc etc

But he kept them in the Premier League. So, 24 million spent, 100 million back - nice business.

I've always liked Carew, but Zigic is just ace, and the scorer of some of the greatest goals in our history.

A fit Carew would be like a monster in this league, him and King up front would destroy other teams defences imo
