KaKa Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well we are apparently doing our major signings in the summer so it must be us! Yay! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Random theory, Slaven Bilic to quit Croatia after the Euros, and come to us, making Modric his first signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Basically Zagreb want a rediculous price for him, and no-one is willing to meet it. So they'll keep him. Its not 'his' decision to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this kid is as highly thought of as anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 They paid about £8m for Eduardo. From BBC "Dinamo president Mirko Barisic claims the fee amounts to £16.25m but BBC Sport understands it is around £7.5m". So...erm...ya. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it was a mistranslation, he said something along the lines of "Arsenal have spent some of the £16m they received for Henry on him" and the translators omitted the words "some of".

Parky Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 As soon as the international teams of these countries starts doing well the agents get on the blower and try and cash in basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marsai Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 well, the summary would go something like this: - elder mamic brother, the actual behind-the-scenes boss of dinamo, came out and told the news reporters straight away that modric is staying where he is - modric got a higher wage, and was named by mamic as as a key figure in the clubs everlasting ambition to reach a spring phase in the uefa cup, something the club hasn't achieved in nearly 40 years, which has also become somewhat of a dinamo-curse, well you guys should know something about curses - anyway, mamic went on saying that he'll deliver what he'd promised to the fans, to break that "curse", and that modric staying put was the first step towards that goal - apparently there were rooftop offers on the table, but mamic brothers were determined not to let him go - ever since the sale of eduardo&corluka, the mamic brothers were abused heavily by the fans ( dinamo's fans actually have a saying "nema predaje!", which means "no surrendering, no giving up!", so the mamic brothers started the season with their own motto "nema prodaje", which means "no sale", but immediately after they sold both eduardo and corluka, leaving only modric behind, who was arguably the most valued one of the big dinamo "three" - who knows, maybe they're actually making a statement here, or maybe they're indeed pumping up the price for the summer market, i guess only the blues brothers know anyway, looks like the saga continues, in all honesty i'm slightly dissapointed, even though i'm a dinamo fan i think it's time for the kid to move on to better things. would've been nice to see him in a newcastle jersey. tnx for reading up & good luck in prem, put one behind chelsea today aswell;) cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well this one has returned with a vengeance. http://www.net.hr/sport/page/2008/04/23/0268006.html http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/dogovor-vrlo-blizu-mamici-jucer-u-newcastleu-pregovarali-o-prodaji-modrica/383980.aspx Dunno if this has been mentioned. Modric linked again, I'll put up a translation soon. http://www.jutarnji.hr/sport/nogomet/clanak/art-2008,4,23,,117074.jl One more link, the title indicates that the fee was arranged but the basic wage offered wasn't big enough. Well basically all these reports say that Modric's agents flew to Newcastle yesterday (Ashley's private plane apparently) and met with Peter Harrison. Newcastle are said to be prepared to offload around 20-25m, which tops the bids of Liverpool, Tottenham etc. Then it says that Newcastle have however offered lowest basic wage, upon which the talks have stalled. Seeing as almost every news portal here in Croatia posted this news, there's bound to be truth in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Would be a massive signing if we were to get him. Certainly won't be easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
