Shit news if true for the lad, no matter his attitude or issues.
Plenty of players have had similar issues & come through them.

If he retires it's because of his attitude.
He has plantar fasciitis from what I've read. It's tricky to recover from but you don't need to retire.

Tbf Ross, I think it's easy enough to argue that a footballer uses their feet a lot more than a baseball player.
You could, but they play 162 games a season.
Lots of NBA players deal with the problem - and play 82 games a season doing a lot more work with their feet than Andy Carroll.
I can guarantee you won't find another athlete to have retired at age 24because of Plantar fascitis. Because it's manageable and treatable if you've got any mental strength and professionalism.
Is Plantar fascitis the only injury you can have to your plantar fascia? From what I've just read, there is no mention of fascitis for Andy, so it's possible that it's not exactly that that he's sufferring from.
I'm sure you're right though.

Fair enough. I reckon his lifestyle and attitude may have something to do with it, but there's also a chance that his injury is worse than other have had, and may affect him more do to his playing style.
On the plus side, we did some great business selling him.
I wonder whether it's been known all along.
Newcastle leaving the move til the last minute was regarded as posturing for cash.
Maybe it was to rush the medical?

Hasn't played since we did!
wishing him a full recovery.
That's what I was thinking.
Used car dealers up and down the country are reading this story and remembering the time they sold a clapped out fiesta to some unwitting punter who didn't know it was ready for the scrap yard.
Serves 'em right for selling us that chump Dicks and Konchesky.
Fulham sold us Konchesky. He was at West Ham before them.
Whilst we can never forget that Newcastle raped us on the Caroll deal, at least we can console ourselves with the knowledge that we bought Sturridge for less than we charged West Ham for Caroll.
I knew it. Even as I typed it! Thanks for confirming my laziness!
I've had it before, and it normally goes in weeks. Physio usually tells you RICE, and a tennis ball. You're to sit there all day, rolling the ball in and around the arch of your foot with as much weight as you can bear, and it will massage the area and stretch the band.
Those of you sending him your best wishes, believe me it's not life threatening, it's hardly even painful, just a bit of an irritation, and he's also a millionaire, so he'll be alright I reckon.
I know people that have ran marathons with it.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. It'd be more or less what he deserved IMO.
Not even after having your own feet amputated?
Have him shot Peter!
