    Carr Retires.... Again

    Carr's gone.. Anyone else want to follow him. Now's the time. I don't care if it's a European playing regular or not. If anyone's only half interested let them walk now. I won't post anything like when Gary Kelly or Dean Keily reitred. I just want the dead wood out. I'd sooner have a team of Football league players or dare I say it 11 Kevin Kilbanes busting a gut for me as a fan, than some of those moaning side stepping oul wans.
    I pity the fool!.... But suggest ways that he might improve himself.

    Was a great player for about 3 years when he was one of the finest fulll backs in Europe but then injury and grumpiness took over and he has been shocking for the last 5 years.

    Good riddance to him and hope he enjoys his ''retirement'' and no better place to do that NUFC.

    Never turned up for Ireland. Used to play great for Spurs has been **** for Newcastle thought.

    Just hope Finnan doesn't follow him......

    Good summary, NMcD. As a Spurs fan, I can only conclude that the "grumpiness" derives from his getting big headed after his early success with Spurs, then expecting everyone to kiss his ass, even after injury and loss of form meant he was now only mediocre (at best). And eventually having to go to Newcastle, when Man U were formerly very keen, can't have helped his humour, either.

    I can't comment on his ROI career, but for all that our defence is currently shocking, I don't know of any Spurs fans who would have Carr back - even if he offered to play for nothing!

    Who cares?

    What always amazed me was the fact that international managers played him before Finnan after Finnans outstanding Japanese World Cup.

    Good riddance anyway. I'd pick Finnan, J.O'Brien and Kelly ahead of him anyway. ****ed off at how he always gets the nod over finnan at right back who is pushed out to the left.

    A career where the quality of his play went in the opposite direction to the size of his pay packet.

    Belongs to a select few for whom playing for their country always seemed to be a chore.

    I won't miss him. After he left Spurs he just wasn't the same player. He's on the wrong side of thirty now so it's time to move on. Finnan will be our first choice right back until the 2010 World Cup anyway.
