Just for a little balance I asked my mate who is a big CU fan for his thoughts on Carroll. He is a level headed guy who has a balanced view on most things so I trust his judgement. This is what he said..... "I quite like him, but that might be because when my boy was a mascot for CU last year Carroll was the player he walked out with. Instead of just ignoring him, he spoke to my boy asking him lots of questions, and was just really friendly. Must admit that this season has been shocking for Cambridge United, and we could well have been relegated out of the league, we were lucky that there were three teams below us who were even worse! Whenever I saw Carroll play I always liked him, but must admit the last month or so he hasn't played that much, perhaps that was because they knew he was leaving." So it appears he was a decent spud who did a decent job but CU have been shit this year and he hasnt played much and is leaving. Given the experience of our own support (see Jake Hastie) it might explain why so many CU fans are angry and lashing out. Why dont we wait and see what he is like? Give the boy a chance.....

Davie first and foremost is a 'Well fan so he was always going to make sure that when he leaves the club it would be well recompensed hence why he signed his new deal when he could have easily done a "Hastie" He also has enough faith in his own ability to know that he will continue improving to the stage that he will have a choice of clubs to join when the time comes. A very mature level headed young man who will do whats best for him and Motherwell FC and hopefully go far in the game

That's obvious, considering the idiots called him Liam Turnbull in the article header.

I guess it depends on how good Livingstone is, doesn't it? If he's not better than said 28 year old journeyman then maybe he doesn't deserve a first team spot?

Any further comments regarding Hastie should be in the former players thread. The wording of the official statement suggests that he has annoyed a few people with his actions over his move. As an aside, I sincerely hope that, as a club, dealing with any player, we act with honesty and respect and look to achieve what is in the best long term interests for both parties.

I get the feeling he may have annoyed a few people at the club Dave, by all this will he stay or go nonsense, but in my opinion we secured the better prospect by resigning Turnbull.

Rangers could not afford him

You have to give anyone that comes a chance if you look at alot of our signings hardly set the heather on fire but had alot of success. Kipre hardly kicked a ball and look at how that story ended.What doesn't work at one club might be amazing at another.

as far I am aware we would be due development compensation as he is still under the age of 23.

I assume if Cadden signs on and does well for the next 2 or 3 years that would be deemed a good return from our academy or is it all about money?

Writing a guy off coz of what people on the internet are saying about him has to be the most Motherwell fan thing to do ever.
