Arsenal Tried To Hijack Carroll Deal. Apparently…
Pffft. Spurious tosh from The Daily Star the other day who reckon that Arsenal tried to make a last ditch bid for Andy Carroll as he zoned in on his eventual move to West Ham this week.
Where to start… A technically limited player, who relishes long ball football, and has a history of booze based antics. Also, he’s English and we know how much Arsene loves paying a UK premium for players. Admittedly he’s pretty injury prone, which could have been half of the appeal.
Less than surprisingly, Wenger ‘apparently’ turned it down due to Carroll’s fairly punchy wage demands. That’s if an inquiry even happened at all, which I’m deeply dubious of.
