It is £8.6m for Eduardo I think.

I suspect it is just another example of the apparent media love of Modric in Croatia, in that the media are pretty much hitting refresh every 15 minutes on .cock, Chronicle and the Nationals at the moment, and whenever a new Newcastle story comes up, they are looking to put a Modric spin on it. Signing Modric may be very good for promoting and selling the NUFC brand in Croatia.

Him and Henry both seem to have a liking for the No.14 shirt. There is only one way to decide who gets it: FIGHT!

The thing that annoys me most to be honest is the moaning about the posting of shit. Especially when some of the moaners are prolific transfer mongers themselves. Anything that would reduce the moaning for me is good, as i find transfer season entertaining. The more outlandish the better.

Breaking news (pinch of salt):

Can't say I've seen him fly, interact with fairies, or remain a boy.

despite everything so far, it will probably all be Lukas Ramaseur

Apparently its the fee, not the wage. I'm not sure that we'd provide all the hospitality, then offer £6m less than the apparent January asking price. It is just one paper after all. All of the talk is coming from his club, not NUFC. Bidding war, nothing more. Coming from Telegraph, .com, and the Chronicle as well remember. When has Oliver ever taken a story off a foreign newspaper?

I feel like someone has just thrown a bucket of ice cold water over me following a night of alcohol induced fun.

I am refreshing newsnow all the time!

If this had all waited until the summer holidays, Kev and Jamie could have told us whether or not he was at the training ground.

Yeah RIP

Is this THE Modric thread now then?

My take of events judging from the various snippets of information that have no appeared in various different media outlets is that representatives have held serious talks, and all three of NUFC, Dinamo, and Modric are all happy with the move, and are all confident that an eventual agreement can be reached. It is just now a case of us getting that agreement signed and finalised before anyone else comes and gazumps us.

I think the question many have asked about why no-one has been waiting until after Euro2008 has been answered by Billic's comments that he doesn't want his players distracted by transfer speculation during the tournament. I think Billic would recommend England over other countries because he has played there, and because the more of his players playing in England the better for prepared his team will be for the WC Qualifiers.

Very good preview from the West ham perspective: http://www.kumb.com/article.php?id=2448

Should I mess this poll up by adding Modric, not resetting the poll, and then voting for him so that I can be right all along?

Unbeaten in six, same lineup every week, everyone is going to be satisfied regardless of results in next three games. Nothing else to talk about, unless you want another thread about the bored.

Gets funnier with every airing that one like James

Get a room you two!

Despite all the linkages, I think Modric is more of a genuine Spurs/NUFC target, and a more speculative target of the bigger clubs.
