Carroll linked with move to China

|
Slaven-Bilic-Andy-Carroll-Football365Andy Carroll is set for a £300,000 a week move to China this January transfer window reports the Sunday Express this morning.

The West Ham striker has only managed four appearances this season because of a knee injury and the tabloid claims Slaven Bilic is ready to cut his losses.
Carroll, 27, has scored 23 times in 92 appearances for the Irons who could be set to make a profit on the injury prone striker.

The Hammers paid Liverpool around £17m for Carroll and one of the two Chinese clubs who are fighting for his services for willing to pay £20m.

Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou R&F both want to take Carroll to the Chinese Super League in January. And they are both willing to make him one of the best paid players on the planet if he agrees to call time on his Hammers career.

Southampton’s Graziano Pelle moved into the top ten wage earners the world when he penned a £260,000 a week deal with Shandong Luneng in July.

    If the offer comes sell him,even if we can’t get a good buy in January this may be only chance.Do the Chinese really not care about his injury record?

    The key is getting a good replacement. We’ve been trying to do that for months now with no success. There is no like for like replacement for him, but I think one more injury between Spurs and the start of the transfer window will be the end for him at West Ham, which would be a shame as what he offers when fit is unmatched in the prem. Controversial, but I think we should go after Defoe.

      I wouldnt mind Defoe he is still a good,good player & i really aint into all the crap from when he left us so many years ago.I cant be bothered with all that rubbish lool

  • RickHammer says:

    I think there is a whole load of baggage comes with Carroll other than the constant injuries. Things we dont hear about.Just my opinion.
    The day he leaves the club & we get a good replacement in will be a happy day for me.

    So long as we replace him with a genuine goal scorer, its funny that the link comes along with a whole load of other press about his fears, shortly after he is “targetted by criminals” does seem a little suspiscious doesn’t it ?

  • Michael Miller says:

    If there’s a grain of truth in this we should snatch their hands off and wave him goodbye!
