Abacus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It's interesting that he is considering a coaching role. He must realise his playing days are over - they probably were a long time ago to be fair. I might be doing him a massive disservice, but he doesn't strike me as coaching material. At least partly because his skillset as the big target man is so out of fashion, and probably will be more so over the years as I'm guessing heading will be increasingly phased out from youth level upwards for health reasons. Of course, you don't have to coach the things you were personally naturally good at. In fact in some ways doing that can be a disadvantage, as you're not able to understand why someone can't do what you can. Anyhow, that brief article was by Henry Winter, so I'm guessing it was right. According to it, he'd wanted an extra year, but no dice. Best of luck to him, you do wonder if he could do a job in the championship (or dare I say it League One) off the bench for 4 or 5 goals a season.

Guest reefatoon Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Full credit to the lad tonight like. Went to Hanahana tonight for my daughters birthday and we were on the same table as Carroll, and he couldn’t have been nicer. Sang happy birthday when she got up, had a photo with her and wished her a happy birthday. He was spot on and made her night. Good on him, lovely fella.

Guest Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Is it normal for clubs to announce when a player leaves when the contract is up? Seen people complaining that no announcement was made about Atsu & Carroll leaving but their contracts were up, we’ve confirmed some new deals…just not sure why we’d announce something like that?

Beth Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Think he'll rap in playing now if he's been sensible with his coin. Fair play to him, made a fortune off the back of one decent half season in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him in the same bracket as Demba Ba and Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57884925 “Former England striker Andy Carroll is looking for a new club after leaving Newcastle, boss Steve Bruce says. Bruce added that Carroll, 32, needs to "go and play somewhere" after his contract expired at the end of June, but said his exit was "amicable".” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 November and still without a club, but not formally retired. Wonder what the craic is. Would think he's worth a crack at a lower level, but get the impression he's enjoying living in Newcastle again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I never got that sense he was that dedicated to the game beyond his natural ability and the fruit of that was/is probably good enough for him. Remember how shell shocked he looked during the Liverpool transfer? He's as Geordie as they come, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I remember seeing Buffon knock him out at SJP ina preseason game, then come out after and say he was a wonder kid Was a 12 month period where every game he played he was twice as good as the last time. The move to Liverpool killed what could have been an excellent career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
