shandypants Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Forestieri plays in a similar position that Carbone did but I would say that Carbone was more elegant than Forestieri is. If we are to make comparisons then, with the unpredictable nature of his trickery, Forestieri is more like a shorter and lesser (but still brilliant) DiCanio.

Carbone may have had a serious case of tunnel vision when it came to a pass at times, but his skill was world stage, not Championship stage. If anything he culled his future by signing for us. World stage?.....really....international caps = zero Unless you are classing Valley Parade as the world stage or any other of the 18 odd clubs where he played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest everydays_wednesday Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Carbone wore the number 7 shirt at Napoli after a certain Diego Maradonna......end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watford_owl Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 If we are comparing the best di canio would be the one. Could turn a match on its head and to this date been the best individual player I have ever seen play for us. Not my favourite player of all time but defiantly the most gifted.

Yes the odd one would fly in and everyone would laud him but the hard facts were we were scoring 1 screamer instead of 10 tap ins Yes, Beni had his faults. He was selfish at times. But he had huge pressure on his shoulders, especially when Paolo was banned. He also didn't have trust in the ability of his team mates. But if you seriously think that Fernando was 10 X better, then you've got serious issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Did Carbone ever refuse to play? Even when the manager was publically slagging him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Carbone was an excellent player and is currently the better player. We need to be realistic. However, FF is a top player for this league. If he remains fully fit and focused next season, we have chance as this guy is the difference to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meadows Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 love FF, but can you imagine Carbone in the championship https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/drearyspiritedgemsbok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieOwler Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If a Premiership club comes in for him I think Forresteri would be daft not to take it, he's 28 years old and surely he wants to prove himself at the top level. I would be disappointed if he left for less than 15 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1948 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 For all of his attacking flare Carbone was a liability defensively. He would try to pull off a trick in midfield lose the forward movement of the attack, lose the ball the Hillsborough hush decended and you hear every knot in our net as the opposition score yeat another Carbone gift. FF doesn't give the ball away as Carbone did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbone wasn't world class he was as I said a defensive liability. Its just a guess but that's probably why he didn't play international football. Chris Waddle was world class, and Paulo Di Canio was much better than Carbone in all respects. Edited April 25, 2018 by mark1948 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't there to defend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
