It must be ‘link Tottenham Hotspur to a West Ham United player’ week as not only have we seen nonsensical suggestions that we could be in any way interested in Marko Arnautovic, the media have gone one better and linked us with Andy Carroll.
I kid you not but it does come from the bastion of truth called the Sun and in knowing flat out that again Carroll isn’t the kind of personality that manager Mauricio Pochettino would work with – even if his height up front and ability to hold the ball up would potentially be an answer to Harry Kane being missing and lots of fans torn when it comes to Fernando Llorente – I’m amazed it garnered the reaction it did on social media.
[@SunSport] now understand West Ham’s Andy Carroll has emerged as a shock transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.
A potential £2M deal for Carroll will rest on whether West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini reckons he needs the striker to cover for forward Marko Arnautovic.#THFC #COYS pic.twitter.com/qNRsIT7jNs

With the 30-year-old serially injured over the past few seasons with one problem rearing its head after another, he is back playing now for Manuel Pellegrini but his contract is up next summer, hence the estimated low valuation for his services.
Shall we leave it, as ‘no’ and move on quickly?
I will stick with Llorente thanks, we already have enough people on the treatment table

It’s got to be up there with ‘Freddie Starr ate my hamster’ headline for a pure fabrication.

Please no.

This is ridiculous. He’s played like 2 games in 5 years. Parrot plays before we sign Carroll.
