Report: Benitez shows Carroll interest

|

andy-carroll-west-ham-arsenal_3445626Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is considering a sensational swoop for Andy Carroll …according to the The Mirror at least!

The injury ravaged striker is apparently emerging as an option for his former club with claims that he could be set for an “emotional”, season-long loan on the cards.

There is little hard detail in the story and of course we have been here before with such speculation but it’s likely that were Rafa Benitez to make an inquiry it would be given close consideration by the Hammers board

Interestingly, the Hammers travel to Newcastle next weekend with Slaven Bilic claiming that Carroll is likely to be involved.

However, there was also much talk around the same time last season and in January that a move to China could be on the cards and that of course failed to materialise

      Thank god its only a rumor , Laz . 😨🙏 . We can’t afford to lose the only real aerial threat we have . Not to Mention his hold up play . A fully fit Carroll is a dangerous Carroll . Undeniable really , even for those that want him out . He gave certainly missed him during his very long absence .

    Wow a ‘sensational swoop’ by Rafa!

    I saw the interview by Mike Ashleigh and he seems to have learnt from his mistakes, he might not be very likeable but he’s pretty shrewd – a non-starter for me!

    What a shrewd man Rafa is, he’s just trying to offload Carroll to his current club before he becomes our next manager….cunning these Spanish…

    Watching Wagner today and have been flowing him thru last year he is great. His players will die for him and off the pitch and on is brilliant shrewd smart in mkt and in tactics. And can make 10 signins gel did it twice now when started in Championship and This Summer. He was all over pitch after win. But although he would be great he is going no where. He loves that club and owners
