Former Toon skipper says Carroll is staying at Upton Park.
Kevin Nolan: “We’ll have the big man available for the whole of the season and I think that will be a big thing for us.
“Last season, we had injuries and it made it very difficult for me, from a personal point of view, to build up a relationship with just one striker.
“There was a lot of chopping and changing to do because of the state of the injuries we had to put up with last year.
“I’m really confident that, if we can stay away from injuries and keep Andy fit, as well as introducing the signings we have brought in, that this year is going to be a very good one for us.
“I’ve seen Mauro Zarate and he’s a fantastic player who I can really feed off and who can also score goals.
“I’m just touching wood that we don’t lose Andy and Winston [Reid] for the amount of time that we did last season. If we don’t, I’m sure we’ll do really well and have a productive season.”
