However the words ‘clutching’, ‘straws’ and ‘are you for f**king real’ come to mind when reading the UK Metro’s straight-faced story linking the 28-year-old with a move to Real bloody Madrid…

The Metro report:
“[Real Madrid] believe he would be an excellent second striker to challenge Benzema for a starting spot.
And as he’s not played in Europe, they could register him for the Champions League in January.”
We couldn’t stop laughing here at SportsJOE Towers – until we remembered that Rafa Benitez in the man who chose to replace Xabi Alonso with Gareth Barry…
