Hammer time over for Andy Carroll? (Reuters file)

All Whites defender Winston Reid may not get to play alongside Andy Carroll at West Ham next season after reports suggesting Carroll has rejected a temporary move.

Liverpool had accepted the $4 million bid from the East-London club for the striker, including the $34 million add-on to take Carroll permanently should West Ham remain in the Premier League.

The possibility of linking up with West Ham captain Kevin Nolan, a good friend of Carroll, was hoped to be a big enough incentive for the England international to make the move south.

However European football is understood to be Carroll’s main desire next season, something his former club Newcastle, who are also interested, could provide.

Good. It was over-rated, over-hyped and over-paid players that didn't really want to play for the club that helped us get relegated in the first place. that and the worst manger in the history of West Ham let alone the PL.
