Alan Pardew has not given up on bringing Andy Carroll back to Newcastle United, and plans to bid for the striker once his loan spell at West Ham United expires.
Newcastle was keen to resign their former player from Liverpool during the summer, but the club’s demands proved to be too high. The 23-year-old eventually joined the Hammers on a season-long loan before the transfer window shut, but Pardew has revealed that the club would like to involve should Liverpool decide to sell the player next summer.
"He's a Liverpool player and not wanted so at some point he's going to move permanently," Pardew told BBC Sport. "I'd like to think we'll be in the mix for that."
The former Charlton and Southampton manager also admitted he would like to bring Kevin Nolan back to Tyneside, if he had the money at his disposal. The 30-year-old left St James’ Park for West Ham in 2011 and has enjoyed a successful spell in East London, which has continued to flourish this season alongside his old Newcastle teammate Carroll.
"Big Andy hopefully one day will want to come back and certainly I'd like to have them both in my squad now because we would be stronger for it. But obviously finances restrict me from doing that."
