Village Idiot Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm sure VI has said in the past we're still quite a big name abroad. I remember him saying our relegation was in their papers which was unusual ? Yes. Your board sacking Hughton merited a mention in the international pages of our sport papers. Allardyce didn't. I'd say most casual fans aren't really aware of your fall from grace. Me and my brother were watching ManU - NUFC in the PL opening week and he still thought you were on par with Everton, Spurs and the like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I've searched Andy Carroll on http://news.google.es mind, and the only mention of Carroll over the past few days has been in the list of Premier League top scorers, and translations into Spanish of the Spurs rumour. Not a single mention on any Spanish news site about Real Madrid being interested which there should be if it's from "Spanish sources". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Consider this my first - and probably last - ITK post ever, but I do know for certain that Real Madrid have looked at Andy Carroll. He's also low in their list (which I have been told has around 20 names). They have looked at all the top leagues in Europe for a tall striker. Again, I'll stress they won't bid for him.

Guest guinness_fiend Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I read on aintitcoolnews.com that Carroll and Jonas have been approached with a view to being extras in the next Pirate's of the Caribbean movie. And that Barton will soon be starring in the prequel to the prequel of Silence of the Lambs (as will Xisco, as a young Clarice Starling). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 To be fair I'd imagine most teams looking for a striker have had a look at him. He's one of world footballs hottest properties with regards to potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Also, Andy Carroll has been featured in several "upcoming talent" pieces in our rags. He's hard to ignore with all those goals and broken jaws. http://www.marca.com/2010/10/07/futbol/futbol_internacional/premier_league/1286473966.html http://www.elmundodeportivo.es/gen/20101120/54073973023/noticia/andy-carroll-crack-y-bad-boy.html etc...

He's one of world footballs hottest properties with regards to potential. Yeah, people shouldn't be surprised or alarmed. If Mourinho wants a tall striker to complement Higuaín/Benzema, Madrid's technical staff are going to look at all the good tall strikers in Europe. They were linked with Hugo Almeida and Mario Gómez, who are shit compared to Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guinness_fiend Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Carroll would be fantastic under Mourinho tbh No Xisco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Not sure who would ping those balls on his head though. They got Xabi Alonso but there aren't many good high crossers in their squad (or in Barça's for that matter, I don't think we could lift a ball higher than 6 feet if we tried).

He's one of their top targets, actually. Florentino recently vowed that he wouldn't buy him in January out of respect to Bilbao, which means he's odds on to make the move in the summer unless Mou gets his way and forces them to sign somebody else in the winter window.

Nobody Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Has he been given much press outside of the UK? I know if a birght young striker playing for one of the big clubs in Europe has scored as many as he has, then we would have heard of them but if they were playing for lesser clubs in Europe only a few of us may know about their reputation. Basically, will these Madrid fans even know who he is? In team of the season (so far) by Swedish journalist Peter Wennman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'd hate to see Llorente go to Madrid and be just a squad player/plan B target man like, same when he was linked to Barca. He's far too good to be just that. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go for Gómez like, but he's probably far less attainable now than he would have been at the start of the season. He's been brilliant for Bayern so far this term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Some bollocks going round about him being involved in a scuffle down manchester way last night. Not sure how much tripe it is, but a lad at work mentioned it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
