Apparently Nasri is available for around £15 million pounds. Never seen him play but heard good things about him.

Seems a bit odd that a manager would state a players price so openly.

 

It says he wants to leave, so he's just putting him in the shop window really. Definately have a stab at getting him, highly unlikely to get him imo but once again nothing to lose by trying.

Seriously though, I'd not really heard much about this Modric before the other week, but if he's as good as everyone says he is, it's exciting to think there are players of similar repute on our target lists. :thup:

Got to love KK. Love having a manager with a bit of personality and charisma rather than a one that rolls out the standard crap interview after interview.

Knowing keegan's ambition and the calibre of players we're targetting, i think we're in a for a rejection-riddled summer.

i have the same feeling after missing out on modric he seems to be the next midfielder similar to modric if we are looking at that age group/type of player.

think we will certainly register an interest, liked with madrid a year ago when vetere would have been head scout there.

 

just get beye to have a word with him.

During the 'Modric affair', this article kept popping up on newsnow (I have no life):

Simon Vukcevic triggers interest from England and Spain

Agent claims host of clubs are chasing Montenegrin

 

The agent of Sporting’s attacking midfielder Simon Vukcevic has warned the Lisbon outfit that a host of other clubs are interested in signing the Montenegrin.

 

Speaking on Portuguese radio station, TSF, Zoran Stojadinovic said the future of the player has not yet been decided, but did not rule out a move to England or Spain.

 

Stojadinovic said “the player is very happy because he is playing well and many other clubs are interested in signing him”, before reeling of a long list of teams who have allegedly shown interest: Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Everton, Manchester United and Newcastle.

 

“I’ve spoken to the Sporting board, but the matter will be dealt with at the end of the championship. At the moment we’re not going to make any decision because the club is concentrating on qualifying for the Champions League,” added the agent.

 

Sporting currently own 50% of Vukcevic, but a clause in the contract they signed last year with Russian side Saturn stipulates that payment of a further two million euros with give the Lions outright ownership of the player.

 

There is no doubt Sporting will take up the option, given that Vukcevic has been their most successful new recruit. The 22-year-old has enjoyed an excellent debut season in Portugal, scoring 13 goals in all competitions.

 

Indeed, Stojadinovic explained that so impressed have the Lisbon club been with his performances that “they have already written a 20m euro buyout clause into his 4-year contract. For any club to buy him they will have to pay this amount.”
