Wullie Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Definitely the type of player we'll need to bring in, exciting stuff if we can pull it off. Someone on one of the youtube videos reckons he's Viduka's cousin, anyone know if that's accurate? Viduka's father and Modric's mother are first cousins making Vids and Modric second cousins. Apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodson Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I really hope this is true. Making this signing early would definately show ambition and make other signings easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 if IF we could pull this one off it would send out the signals to the rest of europe that NUFC are ambitious, really ambitious, Modric as a first signing would make it easier to attract other top players, just got home from southeast asia after spending 4 months there, still breathing.....I have a good feeling about this since it's been so quiet around this, this is how it shpuld be done. IF there's any truth behind this rumour, i hope... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Is he even that good? Reminds me of Viana but a bit better and right footed. Dunno if that justifies a £16 mill fee. He's gone down in my estimation, used to think he was a shitter version of Pirlo but now definately a better right footed version of Viana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a deep lying playmaker, more like a Krankjar, but both footed, and a bit more mobile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Dunno if he has the physicality for the Prem, looks a tad on the dwarf side. What do you reckon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Am I right in thinking hes in the same mould as a Nedved type player? youtube vids seem to show he is. Also, when does the window open, could we be in talks now to sign him later? He looks to be exactly what we need, a Beardsley-esque player, heh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NufcSteven90 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Dunno if he has the physicality for the Prem, looks a tad on the dwarf side. What do you reckon? Taken from Wiki: He later, on numerous occasions, stated that "someone who can play in the Bosnian league can play anywhere", referring to the physical nature of the Premier League. He uses both feet to play, and his biggest strength is his swift offensive positioning without the ball. He's also one of few playmakers able to contribute on the defensive end as well. His lack of physical power contradicts his shooting, which has a surprising amount of power that make his shots on goal mostly effective. However, he has plenty of stamina and is very aggressive in one-on-one battles. His timing is perfect, and his passes are accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Here is a question worth asking: It's all true. There is a geniune interest, and we've made overtures. Who is behind this signing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Are people comparing him to Kranjcar cos he's good (hopefully fucking better, if we're paying £20m quid), or cos they're both Croatian...? Never seen him play but am a tad giddy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen him play but am a tad giddy. He is of similar ilk, a bit more mobile, better defensively, probably score a couple more. Little creative both footed. Doubt he will come here, but I doubted Owen and Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
