    He wanted to prove that he was fit enough to play and he certainly was.

    Spent overpaid force, I don't think he'd keep up with the pace, it would help our strikers if the wingers looked up to pinpoint a blue shirt arriiving in the box before crossing into empty space.. which happened a few times.

    Also people seem to be under the impression he’s just a lighthouse.

    From what a I’ve seen of him he’s a handful on the deck too.

    Pay as you play use as an impact player he could give us another dimension

    Would 100% take him as long as we got a younger striker in too.

    Re: Andy Carroll?

    Do pay as you play deals actually exist? I'm not sure they do

    The little I seen I think he would be ideal for us.

    Did he pick up many injuries for you?

    Re: Andy Carroll?

    This is a rumour started on the radio this evening by Nathan Blake, who said someone he knew at the stadium gave him a tip off. The club were contacted and stated it was totally incorrect.

    What the **** is the Pay as you play bollocks? Why do people always go on about it, does it actually exist?

    Yep I was surprised at how good he was particularly in a very poor side, Great attitude.

    If our fanbase had our way our entire squad would be on them

    I think it's where a player gets money for playing a game of football, a kind of bonus scheme.

    There are many forms of contract in any business.

    Why would you think that somebody just made this up?
    Bizarre.

    Did'nt Kevin Ratcliffe have a pay as you play deal with Cardiff back in the 92-93 season?

    No, we do not want a huge centre forward that would encourage us to lump balls forward. A Chopra style forward would be good.

    it's sometimes good to have the option on the bench in case plan a isn't working

    There’s more to his game than just lumping it forward

    99% of the time it only exists in the imagination of football message board people.
    what footballer would agree to potentially no pay if they had offers elsewhere?

    I can remember Andy Carroll himself , at Newcastle had a contract that was publicly described as "pay as you play" , but it was still 20k a week basic pay, but with massive appearance bonuses (35k If a sub and 70k if starting).

    Exactly. He’s got far better technique and ability than any striker we have now, or have had probably since Bothroyd.

    However the bigger problem is his injury record and it seems he’s not coming any way.

    If Carroll arrives hoofball will probably return. Not for me.

    Re: Andy Carroll?

    Can't believe some are saying no to Andy Carroll, a former £35m footballer with England goals to his name, who played well for Reading and West Brom last season. Mental. If he comes to us on wages similar to what he was on at Reading, ie considerably less than what Max Watters and Mark Harris are paid, it is an absolute no-brainer, as he is better than those pair will ever be put together.

    Yes he's been injury-prone, no he's not getting any younger, but bloody hell, beggars really can't be choosers.

    I'd have no problem with him. He'd only need to play 15mins a game for us. He doesn't need to start. With 5 subs it's a different issue these days too. Just bringing him on would scare the defence which we're not going to do at the moment. It'd be good for the squad and the younger players too.

    Completely agree.
