"I take offence to those who boast of singing these men and who advertise that it is the messiah who arrives. I would have preferred, if we are Racing, that we take the small number 10 and prepare it, but we prefer to be reassured by going looking for Carter. It annoys me."
Racing 92 boss Laurent Labit responded by saying that in French rugby everyone gives advice to everyone but does not apply it to themselves.
"Frankly, when I see Carcassonne, who are 10th in Pro D2, I wonder … Karena Wihongi, whom I know well, is 40 years old and Josh Valentine, their Australian halfback, is 36 years old," he told RugbyRama.
"To play in 10th place of Pro D2, I think that Christian Labit would do just as well with French players."
Carter will link up with Racing 92, who he joined after the 2015 Rugby World Cup, again at home against Bordeaux in late March. Carter's Japanese club, Kobelco Steelers, have agreed to release him to take up the deal.
