I think the return to Newcastle was his chance to set the record straight regarding his injury reputation. Think all it did was confirm he is not up to it.

An emphatic no from me, crikey! buying Peter Crouch was bad enough, and given that we appear to be chasing younger talent this window I highly doubt Andy Carroll will even be on our list, let alone anywhere near the top of it.

He's not too young to be Captain of Bradford because big falls hard and his injuries make him 10 years older.

If you weigh 20 stone and fall out of a window you are more likely to die than if you weigh 10 stone because of the impact momentum on flesh and bone and organ of that mass.

No way Jose

It's sad to think back to just how good he looked the season before Liverpool bought him. The price tag seemed to mess with his head.

The only reason I said bound to be linked is that some (lazy) journalists appear to link us to every available striker.

Way ahead of his time. He was practicing elbow bumps way before the pandemic.

It wouldn't be one from the top, though, would it?

Because they're the large numbers.

Carroll would be ideal for us ,as we like to put crosses in the box.Thats why we signed Crouch,as for using his elbows what about Barnes?Just cos he's got a bit of a reputation,what about Barton.Pay as you play impact sub👍

He’s the big striker to lump it up to. That’s how Burnley play apparently.

What a wonderful way to unite this entire board after a series of petty squabbles. No, he's not linked, no, he probably never will be linked, but just put up that Andy (utter rubbish) Carroll is available and we have a totally united thread!! Brilliant and well done that man (or indeed lady!) who started it!! :D
