Andy Carroll

[James 5,143]

Chelsea are considering an audacious move for Newcastle United youngster Andy Carroll. The Stamford Bridge outfit are on the look out for new up and coming options as Carlo Ancelotti plans for the future whilst dealing with a somewhat aging squad.Having captured the likes of Ross Turnbull and Daniel Sturridge last summer the club is continuing to look for promising 'homegrown' players and are rumoured to be impressed by the 21 year old's performances with the Magpies last season and with Chelsea's main attacking options, Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, both being over 30 years of age the west London side is keen to bring in new signings.

Carroll finished top scorer at the Toon Army last season with 19 goals in 35 starts as he helped Chris Hughton's side to the title. However the Gateshead born England Under 21 international has had a few run ins during his time coming through the ranks at St James' Park, most notably coming to blows with Newcastle defender Steven Taylor.

Should a bid be made by the Premier League champions it seems highly unlikely that Mike Ashley would accept knowing that doing so would further anger supporters who already enjoy a rather spicy relationship with the club's owner.

we need strike and more midfielder

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Might as well close this thread now. Newcastle will not sell him, he will not leave.

[ezeoba 1]

should we sign striker or midfielder

[LDN Blue 7,903]

should we sign striker or midfielder

My honest opinion? 1 attacking midfielder & 1 defender.

As for attack, we have Sturridge ready to step up (if he's given a chance)

(To all the above)

Well well well
