Newcastle United fans have been reacting to a post from Andy Carroll on his Instagram page.
With options for Newcastle United up front incredibly limited at the moment given the injuries to the likes of Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin, the likelihood of him getting more minutes should be going up, in theory. Alas, he’s only been afforded 13 minutes across the last six Premier League games.
And whilst some mitigation has to be granted when you consider his own track record when it comes to injuries, you’d think that given the situation Newcastle are in at the foot of the table, the more forward he can get on the pitch to score goals, the better.
Posting on his Instagram account yesterday, the 32-year-old, valued at £2.88m on Transfermarkt, left a simple message saying that he was ‘Here In Black And White’.
This image was relayed to the fans by The Chronicle on its Twitter page, and hinted that there might be something cryptic about the message, with the fans gave their own thoughts as to what that message could be, as many of them saying he should be playing more:
“Of course he is. He’s being made a fool of. Bruce humiliating him by putting him on with 30 seconds left.”
Do you think Carroll still has what it takes to play in the Premier League?
Yes
No
Of course, it could all just be a lot of fuss over a lot of nothing, but it’s still fun to speculate.
