ian1964 10,720 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Carlos Cuellar's superb recent form for Aston Villa is set to earn him a Spain call-up in 2010 - and has alerted Real Madrid. Spanish defender Cuellar, 28, had a slow start to his Villa career last term following a Ã?£7.8million move from Rangers in August 2008. But the centre-back, who can also play full-back, has been superb this season for Martin Oââ?¬â?¢Neillââ?¬â?¢s Champions League hopefuls. And Mirrorsport can reveal the uncapped star has recently been told by Spanish scouts that he is being watched closely by the national team Cuellar is now aware he is on Spain coach Vicente del Bosqueââ?¬â?¢s radar ahead of the World Cup next year. And Madrid-born Cuellar, who used to play for Osasuna, also has admirers at Spanish giants Real. The Bernabeu club are looking for a new defender in January after their Brazilian-born Portuguese stopper Pepe, 26, got badly injured. Pepe was carried off last weekend against Valencia in tears after rupturing his right kneeââ?¬â?¢s anterior cruciate ligament. He is now expected to be out for six months and has stated that he is ââ?¬Å?completely destroyedââ?¬Â. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Aston-Villa-star-Carlos-Cuellar-on-Spain-and-Real-Madrid-s-radar-Exclusive-article258027.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Gary Caldwell can perform in the WC. I think Cuellor can perform at the WC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
