Seems like the cockney porn kings are trying to do something about The 'Ammers shortage of strikers...they're bidding for Andy Carroll! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18995674
I hope you mean "shortage" lol. They currently have 6 "first team" strikers and 2 junior team strikers according to wiki.
I was gonna say! I'm sure they have Maynard, Cole, Baldock etc. Unless of course Sumatran was just being ironic about it because they do in fact have a lot of strikers.
I am not sure what a Sam Allardyce team would want with a giant long-ball magnet like Carroll anyway...
