The totals don't match the Prem and FA Cup together. Looks impressive though!

Looking through what the Villa fans are saying, nearly all rate him and his ability/goal scoring record still. Milton's stats show that he is good still. He just needs the deliveries from midfield though.

He's barely played, what is it? something like 7 starts? And for a manager who doesn't rate him. |

He's scored a few but he's not on Fuller's level whatsoever.
We'd have to get him and bring in another. I.E A top class striker of whom I can't think of...

Good stats that and better than anyone currently at the club, could turn out to be a good signing.

Not many 90 minutes this year because not fully fit at all. Amazed that he passed his medical so quickly today.
Has scored for Norway, but not for Villa.

Houllier has preferred Heskey to Carew... God knows why  |

He's far from shite, he just isn't mobile enough imo, but then again Beattie wasn't road runner either.
Not happy aout the possibility of him replacing a flair player with a turn of pace in Ric but I'll keep my mind open and see how we improve the midfield before making judgement
A top midfield signing who can get forward and link up well with Carew could make Carew a great signing if KJ is played infront of him.
Pulis is thinking KJ up top with Carew withdrawn and Sidibe & Tuncay/Ba
To be fair that doesn't look bad at all.

All these stats prove is that when he was scoring Villa wouldn't let him go. But as he's now approaching 32 with a calf injury, and hasn't scored or even assisted yet this season they are now ready to let him go.

Lets not let stats get in the way of the witch hunt many Stoke 'fans' on here have already started for Carew.
According to Skysports, he has been Villa's top scorer for the last 3 seasons in a row. Not too shabby at all. He's had about 6 starts so far this season in a struggling Villa team. I don't think we can judge him too much on that.
Last season many on here were crying out for Carew stating that he would be the perfect player for us. He is big, good in the air, has plenty of skill and most importantly is a proven goalscorer in the prem. Yes, he's getting on hence why we won't have to pay anything for him. But on a loan deal untill the end of the season I can't see that we have anything to lose. He will provide great competition and cover for Kenwyne who does blow hot and cold.
Eidur didn't work out but was worth a gamble imho. Wev'e lost a bit on his wages but nothing we can't stomache. The difference with Carew is he is much more suited to the way we play.
Too many people on here throwing their dummies out of the pram. Come on down Mr Magic and all.
Each season, we are improving. There haven't been any 24m Darren Bent signings and for those who expect that, there perhaps you should support Man City. Pulis has improved us season on season. Carew is a win, win. There is no danger with him. We bid 7m for the younger Ba and clearly, that is the type of player we are aiming to bring in. The money was right and the player was right but unfortunately he failed a medical. Don't worry, we will get someone else just as good but in the meantime, wev'e added a good experienced goalscorer to the squad. This is the step by step improvements we are making and effectively, he is a Mamma replacement.
In Pulis we trust.

Only Ric has never been a goal every other game man in the prem.

Look i relly hope he signs and does a fantastic job....BUT the reality of it is this!!.....He plays for a side who dont expect their players to chase balls into channels and a team who up until this season creates plenty of chances per game....it is all relative to players who sign for us so goalscoring records count for nothing as we dont create umpteen chances per game....Expect him to be another bench warmer like Eidur; kitson Camara etc etc as Mama will be the preferred option off the bench.....Carew for Eidur would be great business...Carew for Fuller is madness

It doesn't matter how many goals he's scored if he doesn't get the service, and since he'll be replacing one of the few unpredictable creative forces we have, he's going to struggle.

I can partly see where you are coming from. But lets not pretend there won't be plenty of balls flying into the box for him to attack. And one of his key strengths is his aerial ability. He's also pretty useful with the ball on the deck and is probably more of a threat than Jones in this area. Of course Fuller gives us something different and special that will be hard to replace (if he even go's) But with Etherington and Pennant on either wing there should be plenty of service. if Carew comes I don't think we will be heavily reliant on him anyway. He will just give us more depth and bring good experience along with a good scoring record. If he was 2 years younger many people on here would be wetting their pants. |

Carew has been struggling with injuries earlier in the season + Houllier preferred his old boy Heskey when he came in. Give big John some games under his belt and then complain if he doesn't make an impact! Some of our supporters are unreal! Only a season ago we didn't even dream of attracting players like Carew!  |

TP can be trusted to sort it out, and I've been a long time admirer of Carew. He is, and has been, in that order, a good player. Looking at the rave reports we get on mediocre payers of the top clubs, I think Carew might be one that slips in under the radar,even at his age, and could be a very good siging if we get him. Wouldn't want him as a replacement for Fuller, but a bloody good addition to our improving squad. |

Etherington is terrific, Pennant good but hit and miss. If our only threat is coming from the wings (which invariably it does if we're not playing Fuller and Tuncay) and teams double up on the wingers, we've not got much beyond the big punt upfield, have we? Take out the unpredictable players like Ric and Tunny, and we can be second guessed fairly easily. |
