Bordeaux Wages: Carroll's New Earnings - Is He Worth It?
Andy Carroll's move to Bordeaux sent shockwaves through the footballing world. The former England striker, known for his aerial prowess and, let's be honest, his occasional clanger, had been a bit of a journeyman in recent years. But signing for a club like Bordeaux, even if it was a loan deal, was surprising.
The big question, of course, is: how much is he earning in France?
While the exact figure is still under wraps, it's safe to say that Carroll isn't exactly breaking the bank in Bordeaux. He's not on the same kind of money he was earning at West Ham, that's for sure.
Here's the thing: Bordeaux are struggling financially. They're trying to cut costs, and signing Carroll, who's on a lower salary, makes sense from their perspective.
But, is Carroll worth it? That's a tough question.
He's still capable of scoring goals, that's for sure. But his injury record has been a major concern.
He's had a few good performances for Bordeaux so far, but it remains to be seen if he'll be a long-term solution for them.
It'll be interesting to see how Carroll's career develops in Bordeaux. He's got a lot to prove, and he's got a lot to gain. Let's see if he can deliver on the pitch and justify his wages.
