Carroll Returns On Short Term Contract

By Hob Nob Anyone?

Striker Andy Carroll has completed his return to Reading after a time training with the first team. Carroll has signed a short term four month deal that will see him stay with the Royals until the middle of January. Carroll played 8 times for Reading last season scoring two league goals. After his short stay in Berkshire, Carroll went to West Brom where he played 15 times, scoring a further three goals. The 33-year old former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham player has been without a club so far this season.

So has he actually agreed to join us? Many posts read like he's already signed but nothing from the club or BBCRB etc. Would be pleased if its true.

No idea - DM report today he has turned down a deal in Iran worth 20k pw. Imagine turned down due to location rather than money. Tone seems to have changed from "he's signing" to "he's still considering his options".

Speculation - but if Carroll had signed a contract at the weekend then the club might not have wanted to announce officially until they can do the full PR job. So the journo might have got a tip off to release unofficially. I'm not aware yet the guy has ever done an article like this based on rumour.

I think it's a case of he's training with us at the moment, although he's expected to sign a deal with us? If the rumours are to be believed. Nothing to say he won't move elsewhere in that time though. The reports were suggesting we were hoping he was up to speed by after the International break, which is still a couple of weeks away yet.
