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 **** Carroll going off to France to play.

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.
