Liverpool scouts on tour - In spain
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:37 pmMy uncle has a load of friends in Tarragona. I just spoke to him on the phone and we got onto the subject of football and he told me a very interesting story. Apparently, some of his friends who own a bar had some guys in who worked for the Spanish sporting press and they've been tailing Liverpool scouts who, according to them, are on a marathon tour of Spain. Seville, Zaragoza, Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid, according to a casual acquaintence of a friend of a relative, have either been visited or a due a call. Maybe that money is there afterall.
I'm not one to believe in "bloke in the pub" stories and there are some problems with this account. For a start, I pressume that most Spanish footballers are on holiday now so scouting would be less of a possibility. But on the upside, scouts are often used to make first contact with clubs. So who knows? Just reporting what i heard. Plus, it's kind of fun to think about who they are looking at.
