The annoying thing is that now Spurs have their left hand side sorted out which has been their achilles heel for years. Add two quality central midfielders and they're gonna be a dangerous side.

Feeder club = settling for mediocrity = fuck off. What a joke we'd be if we did that.

Spoiled fucking cunts.

West Ham in injury prone players getting injuries shocker.

Pwned

Who Modric? I don't think we can draw that conclusion. When i read it i thought it was more like we have an interest but thats as far as it as gone hope im wrong like I wouldn't expect Keegan to go any further then positive words/admitting an interest in signing a player, not until the deal was done. The fact that he hasn't denied the rumours or ridiculed them as he did with the Henry rumour makes it pretty clear that we are after Modric. But it doesn't tell us anything about how close we might be to signing him IMO. It's also telling how he jokes about Henry and Deco being at the training ground but not Modric.

Habib: Attack is the best form of defence. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/nufc/Beye-Boys-up-front-make.4022097.jp Particularly like this bit:

Aye, it'd be a bit crap if he was turboshit like. Or like Viana as i said previously, as there will be a hell of a lot of pressure for him to perform straight away unless we use the Arsenal method of gradually exposing him to games a la Eduardo Hopefully without the near career ending tackle.

As fantastic a player as he is, I'd be wary of signing him given that he's supposedly lost his love for the game and is a giant pisshead by all accounts.

Him and his agent travelled here for talks but the fee his club want is too high or something like that.

Modric because it would make a statement to other potential players, whilst signing Deco (talented as he is) would just be seen as us signing another player past his peak.

Get in Big Slav. Reading those last few lines made my day. I officially love Slaven Bilic now .

Those are yesterday's mate, look at the date Ok This One http://www.sportal.hr/vld/sportal/nogomet/vijesti/3066121/index.do That story is about Krancjar recommending the Premiership to Modric. Apparently the whole deal is being spearheaded by Dennis Wise. Yep, not much new stuff in this one either, basically they are summarizing what certain foreign pundits have been reporting regarding Modric and Newcastle. It does mention a 15m fee that's supposedly the right price. Says Keegan would pull out a first big summer signing if this was to go through, and then concludes how Tottenham and Newcastle fans have been discussing the transfer on some forums. Some spurs fan apparently thinks Modric would go to Newcastle for some extra cash rather than come to Tottenham and play in Europe next year. No new info, they're just milking out what's left of those reports from yesterday. Some things never change.

Then again we didn't win for about 3 months so we're owed an unbeaten run until the end of the season

I have a Portuguese friend who supports Benfica. I'm gonna start the piss taking even if it doesn't happen.

Didn't the Enrique deal stall for ages as well with no confirmation on our side for weeks?

who was that? Silvio Maric

Only when he played against England on both occasions.

One of the ones reporting it is supposed to be reliable the others not Trust me mate, not one of these is close to reliable. The only thing that separates them is the limit to which they stretch their imagination when writing these kind of reports. Those that are more reliable only tend to bring the same report but with slightly less Martians and Indians involved. I hope that made some sense. Martians and Indians?

Think we'll win 3-0. Just has one of those feelings. Probably go 2-0 up early on and then West Ham will commit more to getting back into the game and we'll hurt them on the break late in the game.

Think it was against Spurs in 98. It was a horrible day. Ginola murdered us and Sir Les was also playing for them and we lost 2-0 .

As a Newcastle fan I've been trained not to get my hopes up about anything...but fuck it, if we get Modric as Keegan's first proper signing then I'll believe the good times will be back next season.

I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER??
