No Inter deal for ex Hammer Carew- Italian side say Norwegian striker lacks fitness

John Carew will not be offered a contract at Serie A side Inter Milan after the Italian team confirmed this morning that the ex Valencia man was not fit enough to be considered as a potential signing, and they will now look elswhere for a short-term replacement for Argentine striker Diego Milito, currently suffering from a serious cruciate injury and out for the rest of the season.

The Nerazzurri said in a statement on their website that they "would like to thank John Carew for the willingness and professionalism that he has shown.. however, his present physical condition would require a lengthy period of specific individual fitness work which is not compatible with the needs of the club."

Ex West Ham striker Carew has been out of the game since his Boleyn Ground release last May, and may now be thinking of calling time on his footballing career, with the 33 year old admitting yesterday that he has been spending a lot of time pursuing other activities during his period as a free agent, such as travelling and filmmaking, and now may well decide to pursue those or other business ventures; having been without a club for almost a year now. Former Norway international Carew was declared bankrupt last March. All the best, big man.
