Ikon Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 i feel like i've been thrown in to a mexican prison cell where they only play Britney Spears 24h a day....Well it's not that it says that no Modric for Newcaste. IF it's true and that we only have offered £12m i hope we raise it if we have not already done that...guess we will have to have som patience, easier said than done though...

Guest GAMMELL Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Over-rated s**** anyway. 12m for Modric? Never heard of him. Must be s****. We don't need him. I'd Rather Have Bullard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I guess he was never interested in coming to us and just came over to sample the lovely weather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 seriously doubt that the player travelled over here before even a fee was agreed/close to agreement. Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wages shouldn't be a stumbling block with our financial backing imo. If Modric simply doesn't want to come then fair enough but offering £10-20 mill for him and then not giving him a sufficient wage just sounds stupid. 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.

Sorry, but trying to convince me that Oliver talks anything other than bollocks is a bit of a waste of time. Our media are reporting it because they've picked up on the story in Croatia.

He's no doubt done that indirectly on many occasions, i.e. foreign newspaper story gets picked up by the national dailies which gets regurgitated by Oliver.
