    Andy Carroll

    Do you think he regrets leaving us? Like many before and after him his career went down when he left. Aye he signed for Liverpool but did very little apart from ending up in goal at SJP on his return! 😂 then nowt apart from injury after injury at WHU.

    Us 80 - 31 goals
    Lpool - 44 - 6 goals
    West Ham 114 -33 goals

    Engerland 9 - 2 goals

    FWIW I think he would have been a beast of a player here, would have 350+ appearances and would have 125+ goals as well.

    40+ Engerland appearances.

    Aye, if he'd stayed fit. Fitness was always going to be his problem and I think we are known for having more of our fair share of injuries.

    Having said that, had he stayed both fit and loyal he would have been up there on a pedestal with all of our top famous number 9's.

    I think he would have been a right Fkin prick who still would have still gone on the sniff and the drink ,probably
    Y one of the biggest liabilities we would ever have had on the books .I don't think he would have played any more games than he has probably less infact .

    If he'd stayed fit and had a different attitude to his, erm, social life, he could have been an absolute beast.

    However, his injury record is shocking and you can't help thinking his lifestyle hasn't helped?

    I think his injury record, couple with his ahem, active social life would always hurt him as a professional player.

    I think being here he'd of done better than he has and as said been worshipped however, i think he'd still have all his injury problems and that wouldn't change where he played.

    I'd love to know what actually went on between him and Steven Taylor?

    The lucky kid that managed to get his dream of playing for Newcastle United in the iconic number 9 shirt and treated it like it was some old sack left in a coal shed for the sake of bigger money after not long signing a brand new contract at this club.

    Regrets it?
    Nahhhh.
    He regrets nothing other than not making even more money.

    Only when he's sitting there without a penny in the bank will he ever start to regret what he could have stood for.
    What's the chances of him being penniless?

    I don't wish him any ill will. I hope he and his family have a decent life and get the things they want...because, to be honest, he's chosen his path and has to accept what he's chosen...but to think he could have potentially been a legend as he walked the path.

    What is he known as?
    A wandering striker who was unplayable on his day, who once wore the number 9 for Newcastle for a short period.
    I don't think Liverpool fans will have too much fondness for him.
    West Ham?
    Most likely know him as a sick note with potential on a given day.
