New headliner of an FCGB which is fighting for its survival in National 2, Andy Carroll earns much (much) less than in the past.
It won’t take long for him to adapt to his new colors. Last Saturday against Chateaubriant in National 2,
Andy Carroll scored a double to allow his team to snatch a draw (2-2). Certainly a good pick for the Girondins de Bordeaux who have everything to rebuild after the renunciation of their professional status and their administrative demotion.
In Ligue 2 with Amiens last season, the former England international (9 caps, 2 goals) scored four goals in 28 outings – the man behind his arrival in France, John Williams, again officiated to allow the scapular club to realize this improbable opportunity of having in its ranks an element displaying 248 matches in the Premier League.
In his prime in the kingdom, in Newcastle or Liverpool, Andy Carroll naturally received enormous salaries: around 10,000 to 15,000 euros net per day. A daily income today reduced to nothing. His contract in Gironde gives him a monthly salary of around 3,000 euros net.
“Not a question of money”
“ To be honest, it even cost me money to go play for the Girondinsunderlines the 35-year-old striker. But I play football and I’m just happy to play football. I want to be part of the history of this club and to be honest it’s not a question of money. In my career, it has never been about money. »
And to add, clearly invested: “ It’s sad to see a club, regardless of its identity, in difficulty. […]
It’s unfortunate but we just have to get involved to get the club back to where it needs to be. We have to fight as best we can. We have a great team, a great manager, a great staff and I hope we will improve in the next two years.
