Pour The Athletic,
Andy Carrollrecalled his return to Newcastle, after his six-season stint at West Ham.
“Mike Ashley said to me, 'If you want to come back, tell me what you want to win and we'll see if it's possible.' I said, 'Look, I just want to come back and play. Money is not important to me. They offered me a profit-sharing contract, which was nowhere near what the other players were getting there, but I didn't care. It was perfect. I thought I was done with that for the rest of my career. It was a strange feeling to come back. It was even better to debut for the second time. I enjoyed it so much. My dreams were completely different when I returned there”
Unfortunately, the season did not go as planned, with the arrival of Covid-19.
“I wanted to play in front of the fans, but the stadiums were often empty and it wasn't really what I dreamed of. It was frustrating and disappointing not to have many chances, really”
And there was this last match of the 2020-2021 year, where he was promised a call to continue the adventure, but this call never arrived.
“I couldn't believe I didn't stay there. Even today, I don’t know why they didn’t call me.”
