West Ham are understood to have decided that Andy Carroll will not see the option on his contract exercised this summer and the very best he can expect to receive is a pay as you play contract at the club after his injury ravaged spell with us.
The Hammers would allow the contract to run out and offer him a new one rather than triggering the option they hold on the centre forward.
There had been hopes that an offer would be received in the transfer window but there was no interest from anywhere in either a loan or permanent arrangement.
Carroll’s future as a free agent is now very much in his own hands and CandH has been regularly told that he is keen on a move to the MLS.
It means that we would be losing around £90k off the wage bill should he finally decide his future is elsewhere were a pay as you play deal not to appeal.
At last. Now what about Wilshere?
I would be absolutely shocked and disappointed in the club if they offer him anything. He simply does not suit our system and even when fit will not command a start. We are moving in a different direction so cut all ties at the end of the season. As for Wilshere an investigation should be carried into the medical he undertook with us and anyone who failed here should be made accountable. A player we should never have signed and even if fit will be nothing but a bit part player at the very best as he has no engine to get up and down the pitch.
