No, I understand that. Carroll hasn't exactly been amazing while at Swansea, but if it were a case of having him or Paulinho in the squad, I know who I'd pick!
It's funny because the matches I've watched Carroll play at Swansea, he's very Paulinho like. Carroll has a better passing range, but most of the time I find myself asking the question. What exactly is it that makes Carroll so special? What does he do?
