Fans speak out on Carroll issues
So there’s no sign of an Andy Carroll return with Slaven Bilic unable to give us anything near a date for a possible comeback.
AC’s injury issues are costing the club dear and they face three more years at wages of £3.8 million with no ceertainty he is going to be fit for an extended spell.
Here’s what ClaretandHugh’s Facebook forum members have to say about the problem.
OThree years left on his contract! That’s ruddy outrageous.
O It’ll all end in tears – that’s if you’re not crying already!
O Who the hell decided to give him such a long contract? Ridiculous decision.
O Pay…..him….off
O Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there is something seriously wrong with this Carroll situation- something we are not being told. Another setback? Really?
OWhen Carroll is fit in my opinion he is the best English centre forward in the Prem. And I am sure we cannot afford to pay him off, it would cost nearly as much as what we paid for him. If he can get fit in ready for Jan 17 that would be great….keep him,
O Big fan of his when he’s fit, but that is a rarity. Give him away for free and let somebody else take the risk. Liverpool must be chuffed they managed to offload him for £15m
O Pay should be more linked to appearances. Drinking while injured is inexcusable. I popped a disk in my back six months ago (violins please). I am self employed and that meant no income for the family. You can imagine how motivated I was to do everything I could to make a successful return.
O I wonder if those fans saying “pay him off” said the same about Dean Ashton or Julian Dicks? He’s a West Ham player, he has my support. He’s still the best striker on the books in my opinion.
