In one sense, Carroll's call up by Woy is good news because it proves that he can achieve his ambitions at West Ham.
However, the timing is unfortunate. If he is picked, and plays a starring role, other clubs may suddenly look to sign him and his price may be jacked up to a level that we cannot afford.
Meanwhile, Carroll may think he is worth every penny of his 100k per week wages and refuse to negotiate a more realistic contract.
Will he be with us next season? We need to sort it out quickly because we don't want to go into August with only Maiga and Carlton as options!

I would be surprised if he got a regular place in the England team. I think all four of the other strikers (Rooney, Defoe, Welbeck, Strurridge) would start ahead of him, so there's no danger there.
The issue I have with him is over the price. That needs to come down if he is to be good value in my opinion. The other issue is that if we don't buy him, then who? We could easily go out and do worse.
Couldn't it be just as likely that Carroll sees that his being called up was due to playing regularly for a team and a manager tailor made for his strengths? And future call ups would be no different? The whole bird in the hand notion.
Tailor made for his strengths!?! So you mean hoof-ball to the big lad! Ha ha ha At least you admit it! Bless x
No deal for Pogatetz! Woohooo!
