From BBC "Dinamo president Mirko Barisic claims the fee amounts to £16.25m but BBC Sport understands it is around £7.5m". So...erm...ya.

iirc Sven was quoted 20m Euro's or summat. Well Arsenal paid £16m or so for Eduardo? And we paid 7 or 8 for Charlie. They don't give em away. And this kid is as highly thought of as anyone.

Basically Zagreb want a rediculous price for him, and no-one is willing to meet it. So they'll keep him. Its not 'his' decision to stay.

Apparently his agent is holding a press conference at 3 tomorrow to announce where he is going. I have a link but its in croatian and has a video that shows him playing embedded. From my somewhat limited knowledge of croatian I think its between "Manchester Cityjem", "Tottenhamom", "Arsenalom", "Chelseaom" and "Newcastleom".

Reason Modric could come here is not because we've done well for half a season. Its because on of his best mates already plays for us. Not that I'd advocate spending £20m on him.

Well its nearly january. And if I was Ashley (I'm not btw...) I'd be thinking that Allardyce has done little to nowt to earn additional backing in the transfer window, given whats come from the signings he made in the summer. Probably go one of two ways - depending on how patient he is - either off him and get someone who he believes can make better use of his resources, or give him the rest of the season to prove himself. I can't see him chucking good money after bad on more guff like Rozehnal, Enrique (Not seen a lot of him but he's not made much of an impression, I know that doesnt necassarily make him a bad player (see Bianchi, R) but he might as well be if he never gets a kick?), Smith, and that other one.

Shocking to think this retard gets paid to voice his opinions. Couldn't someone have thought to get him a thesaurus for Christmas? To be fair to him isn't this what the complaints about? Shit football? Our league position isn't shit is it? Isn't the complaint more about your side failing to get anywhere near its potential more than once a month. And a distinct lack of pelanties.

Derby or us?? "You" = Newcastle. "They" = Derby.

They are absolutely awful...there isnt a yard of pace in the entire team, so easily stretched...

Typical bloody foriegners

What, nice strike right in the corner from outside the box?

Good goal tbf

I like Darius, he's one of us and always will be. However, I'll say two things. 1. He looks uncannily like Spike Lee. 2. He's not very good any more. Had loads of potential, never lived up to it. Interestingly, I feel Luke Moore is going the same route. Brummie...are you "villain"?

McCarthy is worth twice as much as Viduka. At least.

1. Spells? I presume you mean minutes 12-45. Second half was dead, hardly a chance in it. There was nowt in it really in the end for all your pressure. 2. Yep. Gave Dunne the runaround esp 1st half. 3. Well marshalled by NRC 4. We've only used about 14 players on a regular basis all season. Clearly suffering at the mo. I thought Michael Ball was excellent btw. Darius Vassell....wasn't. The mind boggling omission of Bianchi has long since passed...now we have to contend with the mind boggling inclusion of Vassell. Awful.

Its Ishmael Miller btw. The pal. I must say, I'm thoroughly sickened by the whole thing. Sickened! Consenting adults having sex! Whatever next?!?!

Giorgio Chiellini. Shaun Wright-Phillips. Javier Mascherano.

Spent too much money on too much shite. Still don't know why Coleman didn't get owt from Mo given how he continually sold all his best players but still kept em well clear of the drop.

Top five.

You know he scored against us the other day...first league goal for over a year. And he's not been injured. 32 games between goals. Smithtastic. I think its pretty easy to doubt his ability. ...ya, I hate him too.

Credit Spurs, excellent at the back, including Paul Robinson's evil thin twin brother for a change, and even more remarkably Kaboul. If we'd had shown half as much resoluteness the 5 times Tottenham attacked we'd have won 10-0. Fuck off Benett btw, ridiculous number of decions wrong. Malbranque should have gone, Dunne should have had a pen, the booking Johnson got for being shoved in the back was absolutely surreal. Awful performance.

He's given you absolutely everything since that red. Dunne should have had a pen.

Game over really. Shouldn't have been on the pitch tho.

Spurs have been excellent tbf I much preffered it when they were shite at the back. And their goalie was a calamitous lardarse.

Save of the season from Robinson. Can't believe what I've just seen.
