THis is just brilliant
Former England striker Andy Carroll has joined French Ligue 2 side Amiens on a free transfer.
The 34-year-old completed the move after triggering a release clause in his contract with League One side Reading.
Carroll scored two goals in nine England appearances between 2010 and 2012 and played in the Premier League for Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham.
He will wear the number 99 shirt for Amiens.
Carroll's £35m move from Newcastle to Liverpool in January 2011 made him the most expensive British footballer at the time, after he was signed to replace Fernando Torres
I mean, what the ****
What makes it even better, he is replacing Papiss Cisse
Part me is wondering if he is in trouble again? So is getting out of country for a bit.

Andy Carroll on life at Amiens: "I can go into a bakery and buy a pain au chocolat without anyone saying to me, 'How was the match? Can I have a photo'?"
"I feel like I'm normal. I just wanted to go out and be free, be me."
"Here, I can take my children to the zoo and they don't say 'come dad' while people ask for photos or autographs."
"There's a little pub around the corner where I went with other boys to watch a PSG match! What a game! Nobody said anything to me."

That's fair to be honest.
He isn't doing badly for them either, scored a goal from his own half and rescued a point for them the other day.
