It is as long as Carroll delivers. Huge pressure on the lad, although Dirk can take some of the pressure off his shoulders.
He didn't start off too bad though did he, some good performances and goals since he signed. whether he can do it consistent over the season though.

N'Zogbia is more of a playmaker than a winger is he not? We've already got Suarez and Gerrard for that role. We're all allowed opinions and if N'Zogbia was signed to play solely as a winger I'd still rather have Downing. N'Zogbia's attitude is reportedly not the best and I'd say that his play on the field can sometimes mirror that. He's brilliant when he's on form but I wouldn't say that is consistently.
He's versatile, I think he spent a bit of time on the wing last season. He can play down the middle but also right or left wing too. Plenty of pace, scores goals - an all round good player. You're right his attitude has been questioned at times but he seems consistent enough over a season. I think he'd have been a good buy, especially being able to play a few positions.

EDIT - NZogbia made 122 crosses last season to Downings 324.
It's about quality not quantity
