robbo_11 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I knew of the reported interest in Modric from Spurs a while before we were heavily linked with him and get the feeling we were used as bait to try and get Tottenham to up the ante. I don't think Modric would have came here considering the clubs that were after him, but a little surprised he chose Spurs, although it could be because they are in Europe and he is almost guaranteed first team football. Disappointing to miss out, but how close we were to actually signing him I couldn't say. I suppose this brings up the N'Zogbia situation as I thought he was nailed on to leave for them, now I can't see them pursuing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i have seen/heard Modric isn't a left midfielder, which N'Zogbia certainly is. So i don't think it makes a difference TBH. Could quite possibly see N'Zogbia at spurs next year because they are having a mini clear out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie87 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hope he breaks both legs in his first match. Sick of Newcastle being used as bait to put pressure on other clubs, its bully boy tactics and fucking annoying. Maybe broken legs is a bit harsh, but seriously everyone involved in this kinda tripe can fucking walk off a skyscraper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest defo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Never mind, it's not the end of the world. It would have been nice to have signed him but we can't offer him the London lifestyle.

Guest defo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 At first i was shocked but now after having time to reflect im not too dissappointed he is a player with potential granted but its alot of money for someone who is not proven and if he is that good he would have gone to a top 4 team. We will move on and sign player just as good if not better than Modric Apparently you're after Jimmy Bullard, I think you're right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Is this the 30 year old Spurs fan who signed up here even though he's got no connecting to Newcastle to brag about them winning the Carling cup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get it on for all the badges from the 3 FA Cups, UEFA Cup and other League Cup trophies I've seen us lift, during which time you won the 2nd Division. Nice playing with you sweetie Yes.

Guest Stephen927 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Was a long shot, but at least we put outselves in the running. If you don't shoot you can't score. There'll be plenty of other targets, plus let's be honest, Modric would have been a huge risk. Will be interesting to see how he does in the Premiership.

TRon Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 pictures on getty of him at the ground today Went from possibly beloved to cunt over the course of two days. Record? Who think hes a cunt? On reflection I think he's a cunt to be fair. And as Billytray has pointed out he is pretty ugly so we may well have dodged a bullet here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Kingdawson says,Modric better than Fabregas shocker!!!! In a revealing interview,Spurs fan KD took time out from serving cheeseburgers to talk with us about his beloved Tottenham's new signing Likea Ostrich."i think he will be the world's best player,"he said confidently."I can definitely see us being at least top 3 or 4 next season,and I'm not one for making rash predictions."When asked if he liked Ostrich's ability,he replied,"Sensational,even though i haven't seen him or heard of him for that matter,i know that he is better than Fabregas.Indeed i cant wait to see him in a Tottenham shirt." Will you be celebrating this signing with your Spurs pals?,we asked,"Ermm no,i dont have any."he answered glumly. We made our excuses and left hurriedly.
