Bilic reckons only one striker ever like AC

Slaven Bilic believes there is only one striker he can  compares to unstoppable Andy Carroll.

The manager es that in his current form AC is unstoppable and says the only player he can recall with such a devastating skill set when attacking the ball was his former Everton teammate Duncan Ferguson.

He told the official site: “When I was playing at centre back I always felt it was up to me rather than down to the centre forward when the ball comes in.

“With Andy it’s different, whoever plays centre back it’s more up to Andy. It’s unbelievable.

“I played with Duncan Ferguson at Everton, and marked him when I was at West Ham, and he is the only one I can compare. He’s got everything, he’s tall, he attacks the ball, he has great timing. Everything.

“Now he looks fit, he’s training. Of course we are managing him, but we are not nursing him like maybe before. He is training as much as possible, without going over the line. For me it’s the only way to stay fit, by training.

“He is 100 percent fit now. He has been training for a couple of months, and there is no reason to think the best period of his career won’t come now.

“He is at a great age, he is happy, he’s smiling, he’s settled down. He’s happy with us and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t enter five years of his best football now.”
