Andy Carroll - He's back

[6ft Kerplunk]

The Reading FC app just sent an alert, He's back until mid-January after signing a 4 month contract - could play 19 games

Excellent, should just about get match fit and ready to do a job for another team pushing for the playoffs by the end of his contract then.

[CountryRoyal]

Good news. Still very useful. I'm sure if he stays fit it'll get extended until the summer.

More like he'll go to another team again.

[Brogue]

Wtf this has shocked me















Has a mod moved a thread from the rumours page to the team board we have mods

IF we're flying high and look odds on to be promoted (I did say IF) the chances of keeping him.

[Elm Park Kid]

You're the one who brought AC into this, I was just commenting on AC.

True, fair point.

Well I still say AC isn’t coming to Reading

Coming back. Hopefully ready for Huddersfield on 1 October.

Good to have a local journo who's actually ITK and not just posting rumours.

He was as fit as anyone last time

Butchers dog springs to mind

[paultheroyal]

As a starter we will get 19 games out of him - or 19 that he is available for. Help us get 8 wins out of that we will be pretty close to safe. Great news.

[Hound]

Delighted he is back, disappointed it’s only til Jan. still good news

[Snowflake Royal]

Looking forward to some more best goals never scored.

[windermereROYAL]

Probably after the international break is realistic for him to come in. obviously looking for a better offer in the January window, unlikely to be us I would have thought.
Happy he`s back.

[Stranded]

Happy he is back, shame it's just until January but am sure that can be extended and gives both sides a chance to review things before the run in.

Sensible option and likely direct competition for Joao.

[Zip]

I reckon he will be involved on Saturday otherwise why not wait a little longer to sign him given its only for four months and the international break is coming up

[Hound]

He’s been training with us and got the thing signed today so I expect to see him Saturday

That'll be 7 more wins than we managed last time he was here.

Ince said last night that they were looking to get him up to speed to be involved on Saturday, possibly of the bench but who knows maybe him and Joao up top.

I think he will be on the bench

[Hendo]

Takes the number 2

Cult. Hero.

[Millsy]

Surely now the tallest side in the champ

Great stuff.

Lack of options at this level prior to re-joining us suggests not. If he does OK here, I can see us keeping him until next summer.
