Optimistic Nut Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Wasn't their a quote the day before he joined Spurs by Bilic saying he felt we were the most likely to challenge the big four long-term ahead of Spurs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Theres also a quote from Modric saying that the Mamic brothers had chosen Spurs and that he was surprised at first but happy.....what to believe.....?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Theres also a quote from Modric saying that the Mamic brothers had chosen Spurs and that he was surprised at first but happy.....what to believe.....?? I suspect that the Mamic brothers told him he was going to Spurs, he was surprised and now Modric is beginning his good PR with the Spurs fans.

Parky Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Theres also a quote from Modric saying that the Mamic brothers had chosen Spurs and that he was surprised at first but happy.....what to believe.....?? This is what happened. The player had very little to do with the transfer and I still believe there are strings attached to this deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 "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." But obviously in secret Bilic was telling Modric the opposite...... What reason would Bilic have to praise us in public and say the opposite in private.. none what so ever. This is the typical "I came here because this is a massive club" bollocks you get from every player once they know for sure which club there joining.

fredbob Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The thing is, that all this comes across as nufc fans not being able stomach that he chose Spurs over us- thats how it looks from the outset but when you actually delve deeper theres more to this than meets the eye. Its such a frustating situation because no one will ever find out the legitimate circumstances of this transfer and meanwhile we are left licking our wounds being force fed the idea that he chose a "superior" when in actual fact theres substantial evidence suggesting otherwise.

I'd hate it to be an 'if only' moment, but like you say, dont fret. The thing is is that i think i'd find it easier to stomach the idea that he chose Spurs over us becasue he thought they were a better team, if that was the case but all this misinformation and murky water surrounding the transfer makes it harder to swallow the bitternes that im feeling at the moment.

Will be interesting to see what other targets the club are working on at the mo - there has to be another player who's gonna turn heads for nufc.

geordieglory Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Think there is a bit of double standards starting up in this thread now. While it's nearly certain that there is more to his going to Spurs than just Modric choosing them over us (dodgy goings on with the Mamic brothers etc), I get the impression that people think it would've been different if he'd come to us. Just smacks a bit of unreasonable black-and-white specs on to me: if Modric had come here it just would've meant that WE were the ones who did the dodgy deal rather than Modric wanting to come here because he thought Newcastle was the best option/biggest club etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we weren't prepared to take part in the dodgy deal and had Spurs not been prepared to do it either I'm sure his agent would have accepted the best financial package. Having said that, who cares?.. At the time I was excited by the possibility of the transfer, now I'm not that bothered, lets move on to other players. I'm just glad we weren't desperate enough to bend over and take it up the arse from the Mamic brothers.. unlike a certain other club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaetihS Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Modric just said Spurs was his first choice all along when he knew Spurs was interested and never meant to lead us on. Obviously, waiting for Spurs to make the move while discussing with us. He added Spurs was the bigger club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quotes your referring to have already been posted in this thread, not only are they typical PR that contradicts earlier quotes but AFAICS you're also adding in extra bits he didn't even say to make it sound worse... The actions of a Newcastle fan I suppose? mackems.gif Honestly why don't you stop wasting everyone's time and concentrate on whichever team you really support?
