number9shirt Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Great signing. If only one of his bullet headers wins us 3 points it'll be worth whatever we pay him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 A small part of me loves that he's coming back. I'm sure it'll be an absolute disaster in that he'll be constantly injured, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 We should soon know whether Newcastle’s physio team will be working overtime this season as the club really need to make up their mind about Andy Carroll by the end of the day. Considering the former West Ham striker - who, to Alan Pardew’s horror, departed Newcastle for Liverpool for £35m on transfer deadline day January 2011 - is currently a free agent that may seem puzzling but Premier League rules preclude Steve Bruce leaving any gaps in his 25 man squad which must be submitted to the ruling body tomorrow. So it’s make your mind up time over Andy. He underwent ankle surgery earlier this year and is apparently recovering well but the club are trying to determine the likelihood of how many games he could potentially be match fit for between now and January. If, the 30-year-old stayed fit it could be an inspired move; at his best Carroll is unplayable and it is no surprise his situation was one of the first checked out by Bruce as soon as he moved into Rafa Benitez’s old office. But it is, undeniably, a very big if ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Happy for him. He never actually asked to leave. Hope he can prove his fitness and they can come up with a program to manage and maintain it. If they're smart about things, he'll be a useful option and contributor this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 A year deal is worth a gamble. If he stays fit, I've no doubt he can contribute with a few goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Mike loves an incentivised deal. If Carroll manages 65 games a season he'll get a £2 per hour uplift. Free goalie gloves too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midstoon Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't see him being fit enough to score many goals so the only other reason i can see us signing him would be a PR stunt to get more tickets sold. Ant and Dec were probably next on the list to get disgruntled fans back onside. It seems to be a masterstroke by Ashley and Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 30 years old and injury prone, ignore the fact he's from here and its an awful signing Exactly, considering our strike force is really lacking in goals in the PL currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. A garbage buy and typical of NUFC under Ashley. Imagine trying to get Rafa to sign off on this bullshit man . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Carroll will sign and Gayle will probably be sold before the day is out. We break even on money in/out.......guess who wins again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
