Farewell Big Andy

I guess we'll always have the overhead kick and that hat-trick against Arsenal. Andy Carroll is to have ankle surgery and that means he's played his last game for the Hammers. West Ham's treatment room will never be the same again. Got to feel sorry for the big Geordie whose body just doesn't seem up to the demands of top level football anymore. Will anyone take a chance on signing him on a pay-per-game basis? He'd certainly be a very Burnley-esque signing as they also have Peter Crouch, or perhaps whoever Big Sam next manages will take a punt. Could he do a job in the Championship for ten games a season? Knowing West Ham, he'll probably sign for someone else and have a brilliant five-years of injury-free football...
