Andy Carroll is reportedly holding up a permanent transfer from Liverpool to West Ham because the striker wants a pay-rise to £100,000 per week.

If that’s true, who does Carroll think he is? He’s certainly not worth that type of money even though he can be a game changer for a team such as West Ham United. Carroll needs the Hammers just as much as the club needs him. If the story is true, then it sounds like the agent is the one that’s trying to stall and trying to earn a higher wage for his client.
