Guest alijmitchell 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. Don't you get the impression that the money is there, but we're not willing to pay over our own evaluation for players? They're not like Shepherd, who would probably say something like "Sod it, offer him £120k per week!" :S 5,4,3,2.... Oh sweet lord...see you all in about 20 pages when this gets resolved then...

They're not like Shepherd, who would probably say something like "Sod it, offer him £120k per week!" :S The same Shepherd who refused to sign Anelka and Boa Morte based on the fact that he wasn't willing to pay over our own evaluation for players? He's talking about wages isn't he? I don't remember Shepherd turning anyone down over wages tbh. Not like you to disagree for the sake of it I made the point that Shepherd wasn't the "fuck it, it's only money" type that the poster was making him out to be. I've never seen wage negotiations hit the papers though tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ok, all hope is not lost. I'm close to someone involved in this deal, I won't say who or how or any of that bollocks. You can believe me or not. I've heard within the last 5 minutes that 'officials' will be meeting in London tomorrow to finalise details on the deal. This is all I've heard. I'm not claiming that it's concrete or anything. Just watch this space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
