Best of luck to him.

Even in his half-arsed, moping around incarnation he'll score bucketloads against championship defences.

If it happens it'll just confirm what I've always thought about him, not "one of us" at all, and undeserving of the cult status he achieved while he was here.

I read somewhere West Ham were in for him. Can't he sign for them instead?

Yeh, Sky Sports Twttier has just said Allardyce has confirmed he's in talks with him.

Always struggled to understand why he was given 'hero' status. Played well 5 times a season and was a lazy so and so. I met him in Vienna and he was a right miserable tw@t and begrudgingly had a photo with us but didn't want to.

Scored nearly 50 goals in not much more than 100 starts so his record is comparable with our most prolific strikers over the last 40 years. Admittedly the goals were in fits and starts but apart from the last few months, his contribution was significant.

I know i'm in the minority but I never took to Angel.An abundance of ability but was IMO a big let down.We've had lots of playesr down teh years who've divided opinions.On his day Carew was unplayable, but he didn't do it often enough.Truth be told had he been consistent we probably would never have signed him in the first place as he'd have a top 4 player.

37 league goals in 113 appearances. Not bad, but not as good as you make out.

I remember reading last season something about him buying a new flat in London,so would make sense for him to sign for Wet Spam ,lots more strip clubs for him to frequent ,but who cares where he ends up.

48 goals in 132 appearances.

Our top goal scorer 3 years running and had a great rapier with us fans.

Deserves abit of respect in my opinion!

The 132 games includes 28 as sub so pretty impressive overall.
