Andy Carroll available

[midlandsseasider]

He’s been told he’s free to leave reading, could he do a job here?

 

[Blackpoolmad]

100% fit in with our hoof it to the front tactics. Carol will partner Lavery to perfection.
Sign him up asap.

 

[Dave62]

1. Wages
2. Injury risk plus mobility of Madine whilst carrying Andy Reid on his back

We obviously need a striker in ASAP, but I would say AC is unlikely. Cosgrove would do for me.

 

[King Billy]

Yes but can’t see it.

I actually think Lavery would thrive next to him.

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

He's played for Preston so that's a no for quite a few on here

 

[Matesrates]

Would he look good coming out of the sea? It’s a prerequisite for any striker who replaces Madine

 

[Wizzerboy]

Could this fill the gap left in td53's heart

No td53 is still dreaming of a Big Gaz New Year return

 

[Lost Seasider]

He’s been told he’s free to leave reading ............

.......... for a reason.

[bleach51]

Good grief,no thanks.

 

[Prendergastly]

I wouldnt have Andy Carroll pulling those Cinderella carraiges on the Prom, let alone leading our frontline.
Much sooner wait for Gary Goal's

Any latest news on how fit Madine is?

Maybe he's close(ish) and that's why Critchley is taking such a long time to sign a striker We so badly require

Madine is out of contract now NP but he’s undergoing rehabilitation with the club which l believe we are obliged to do as he was injured whilst playing for us. The last l heard it will be the new year when he’s fully recovered and fit enough to play again at which point he may look for a contract with some club. Personally and IMO l doubt very much it will be with us but if td53 has anything to do with it he’ll get it over the line

Torn ACL, typically 9 months plus recovery time, he might possibly be back in training in January, so the club will have to look at the situation then, but for now, no chance.

 

[BFCAleman]

Certainly would win some headers . When was the last time we scored a header from a set piece ?

 

[Critchknows]

Available with good reason. No thanks.

 

[Macseasider]

Get Madine signed back up, get Carroll signed up and get Mick McCarthy signed back up. We can then play proper hoofball.

 

[Tangerine10]

Carroll - no thanks
Madine - no thanks

not for me anyway

 

[tarantula]

Carroll - no thanks

Maybe Carroll as a short-term deal over the festive period, but then get rid in the new year, possibly with the parting shot: "Appreciate your efforts in the short time you were with us, and just hope during your brief spell here on the Fylde Coast you also managed to have a nice Christmas Carroll ..."

 

[FLATBACKFOR]

Why do Reading want rid ?

 

[AllezBlackpool]

Would prefer Vorderman

 

[tangerine.com]

He’s been told he’s free to leave reading, could he do a job here?

No thanks. Injury prone.

 

[Mr Tangerine Man]

Dream on any striker of moderate ability would mean we would have to spend money...

 

[King Billy]

Why do Reading want rid ?

Will be on massive wages.

 

[Sven]

If he was fit, of course you’d take him. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him move to a club in the Championship.

It’s a big if though, and too much of a gamble for a club our size.

 

[gjr]

Maybe we could look for a 6 foot+ centre forward that can score on a regular basis and get from the half way line to the penalty box quicker than it takes a tram to get from Starr gate to Bispham!!

 

[look.its.luke]

Would also be a shit influence on the squad in terms of professionalism and work ethic.

Hard pass. Surely some club in China, MLS or Saudi is the logical move for a last pay day?

 

[Marton Monorail]

Certainly would win some headers . When was the last time we scored a header from a set piece ?

QPR @ Home at the end of last season we scored 2 (Thorniley and Lyons)

 

[Camberwell1]

He’s been told he’s free to leave reading, could he do a job here?

No as :

1. he‘s a thug
2. dives around too much
3. is over paid and
4. way, way too old

I hope Mick McCarthy tackles him — there would be a good match of thuggery

 

[Terminallytangerine]

We would only be able to sing songs about him at Christmas.

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

.......... for a reason.

Yeah they have no money to pay him

Nothing to do with how he plays

 

[seasidelytham]

Care to share your thoughts?

 

[PR3BFC]

Experienced striker who would bully defenders and be a threat at league one level.

Absolutely I would have him.

 

[bfcpete]

Not worth the money for what would be a short term contract. I would prefer we invested that money in a longer term striker or in Moxon

 

[Always tangerine]

No
