Skirge Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_3472458,00.html Bilic backs Modric for Toon Croatia boss believes Magpies move would suit midfielder Drogba to score first - 11/2 or Ronaldo to score first - 5/1 Total match goals - 0 8/1, 1 3/1, 2 11/4 or 3 7/2. Click here for all Premier League Markets. Luka Modric Croatia manager Slaven Bilic has backed Newcastle United in their reported interest in Dinamo Zagreb star Luka Modric. Modric is rumoured to be attracting the interest of a number of top European clubs, however reports claim Newcastle are leading the race to secure his services this summer. Bilic has tipped The Magpies to land the sought-after schemer, insisting the St James' Park club would suit the Croatia international. Big club "Newcastle are a big club and I believe a move there would suit Luka," Bilic said in the Daily Star. "They are the next club underneath the 'big four', on a level with Tottenham but they are stronger financially than them. "And I think they can do bigger things because of this."

BlueStar Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 All the papers seem to reckon we are closing in lets hurry up and close Could just be all this talk of us being on the verge of a deal just unsettles him and forces the hand of clubs in the top four who were keeping an eye on him. The longer the story on the more chance there is of someone else snapping him up I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
