1. If we don't give him a new deal, his current contract will end in two seasons time. Current market value would have to reflect that, his age, injury record and re-sale value. So I'd guess south of £10M.
I would say every team WBA and down, including the three that will come up in the summer, would have £10M to spend on Andy Carroll.
2. Let's say Carroll has £80' p/w and would want a deal that will give him £100' p/w, starting August of this year. He is currently 6 goals from 12 league games. Looking at the goal rates of other big centre forwards out side the top seven - Benteke, Llorente, Rondon, Negredo, Austin - he is the best of that league. Even given his injury record, he'll chip in with as much as those players.
Every team from WBA and down have at least one top dollar attacker in the line up, or could have. So I'd guess the majority of PL teams would give Carroll a 100' p/w salary.
