    A report from the Daily Star suggests that Andy Carroll wants a return to Newcastle United at the end of the Premier League season.

    The 23-year-old is currently on loan from Liverpool at West Ham United, but it seems as though he is desperate to return to the North East in the summer transfer window.

    Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers allowed the £35 million man to head to the Hammers back in August and it is thought that he does not have Carroll in his plans at Anfield.

    The England striker is of course a very direct and old fashioned centre-forward that loves to hold the ball up and thrives on crosses being delivered in the box.

    This does not look like being the style of play that Rodgers will play with the Reds though, so he is happy to let him leave, even if it means losing money on the forward.

    Although he is enjoying his time at West Ham, the Geordie has a love for Newcastle and would love to put on the famous black and white jersey once more.

    Magpies’ fans are likely to take him back and the club would be delighted if they can sign him on the cheap.

    I would have, but his recent injuries are a bit of a worry.

    I'd rather have Remy.

    Think Tash posted a thread about it in October, but I think a potential swap with Demba at the end of the season would benefit both clubs, them for strength and depth, and us because Andy won't ask for as much as Ba. Will see how Jan turns out.

    Would love Remy too mind, the more options the better!

    Turning in to a very injury prone player. Would fit in perfect with our current style of play. 2 reasons why I don't want him back.

    <laugh><laugh> Brilliant!

    But to be fair, we have played a lot better and a lot less long balls recently, and Andy does have some skill with the ball at feet. Think he'd be ok for us.

    He can piss off, he's like Saylor, made of glass. So damn injury prone & just no, he's a prick and not very good.

    I'd like to see him come home to be fair. I just don't think it will happen.

    I'd be happy enough to see him back. He'd want to win us over again and would put his all into everything.

    Thought I was the only one! He's a bloody handful when he's fit and in the mood. Not that it happens every week, like.

    He'd get goals for us.
