Newcastle after Luka Modric? price tag 20-30 M Euro, media in Croatia are saying that Tottenham are close to signing him for 23 M Euros but Newcastle are willing to pay more.

 

No link sorry as its from a Croatian newcastle fan on another forum I post at...anyways it would be in Croatian if there was a link :lol:

 

Dynamo Zagreb President Zdravko Mamic met with Levy and Comolli at WHL on Tuesday.  Modric was the reason for the meeting, the fee wanted is £18m (don't know how that equates to €'s)  but I wouldn't say that Spurs are close to signing him, just very interested.  They are also very interested in signing Danijel Pranjic from Heerenveen though it's today been reported that Ajax also want him.  A Croatian MF next season??

 

Do you work for Sun Sport or what MJ?  :pow:

I'd take Crouch here.

 

So under rated as a footballer. Would prefer someone more creative mind.

 

Agree.

 

See the thread I created in the summer and the abuse I got. :lol:

 

Some reason he is rated *very* low on here. He always is a threat with the ball at his feet, and has improved his aerial game immensely.

 

Peter CROUCH CROUCH CROUCH.

I'd love to see him here, agree with you lads, I can't understand why he's so under-rated, not only on here, but everywhere you go theres Crouch haters.

He's like Marmite, or Vegemite, or whatever that rank spread is, you either love him or you hate him. I hate that stuff, I love Crouch though!

Tottenham out to get creative with move for playmaker Luka Modric

 

Gary Jacob

 

 

Tottenham Hotspur have held discussions with Dynamo Zagreb about the possibility of signing Luka Modric. Officials from the North London club met their Croatian counterparts on Tuesday in an effort to steal a march on other Barclays Premier League sides chasing the signature of the Croatia midfield player.

 

Juande Ramos, the Tottenham head coach, was unable to persuade Tiago, the Portugal and former Chelsea holding midfield player, to join the club in January from Juventus. He has since come to the conclusion that he needs a more creative player in the centre of midfield and that is now one of his primary ambitions for this summer's transfer window.

 

Zdravko Mamic, the Zagreb president, has priced Modric at about £18million and has spoken to several other English clubs, including Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United. Modric, 22, was instrumental in helping his country to beat England 3-2 in the crucial European Championship qualifying match at Wembley in November, a defeat that led to Steve McClaren's departure as England head coach. Modric's vision and passing have earned praise from many observers and he can play on the left side of midfield or as a playmaker behind the forwards.

 

Ramos's priority is to sign at least one goalkeeper, two defenders, a midfield player and a forward. Carlos Kameni is one of the leading contenders among the goalkeepers that remain under consideration. The Espanyol player can be bought for €6million (about £4.7million), but a potential deal has become considerably more expensive in recent months because the pound has fallen almost 9 per cent in value against the euro on currency exchange markets this year.

 

 

Ramos has shown interest in Diego López, the Villarreal goalkeeper, who came through the Real Madrid youth system and was the second choice behind Iker Casillas at the Bernabéu for two seasons. The 26-year-old has since established himself at Villarreal, where he has three years left on his contract, which includes a release clause of about £27 million.

 

Marco Amelia, the Livorno goalkeeper who was in Italy's World Cup squad in 2006, has claimed that Tottenham were close to signing him in January. He attracted interest from Manchester City last summer. Tottenham have watched Maarten Stekelenburg, but have doubts about the Ajax goalkeeper.

 

Tottenham could also need a second-choice goalkeeper, with Radek Cerny expected to leave at the end of the season, but Ben Alnwick may be promoted. Alnwick has yet to play for Tottenham, but has been on loan at Luton Town, of Coca-Cola League One, and Leicester City, of the Championship, this season.

Cuellar is playing tonight if anyone is interested.

 

Ive seen a fair bit of him this season, wifes family are all "people", and have to say hes a no nonsense centre half. Has looked more than useful for most of the season. Admittedly in a weaker league,............ allegedly :razz:

 

May well be worth a punt. Ramage in swap deal..................... :coolsmiley:

This, but as i've said before, he shouldn't be compared to Boumsong as he is twice as good as he was in the SPL. And he's played in La Liga for a few years to don't forget! Thought Rangers defensive effort tonight was top notch, even Christian Dailly put in a superb performance!

Maybe just agent talk, but Lisandro Lopez is reputed to be on the radar of the usual suspects, Spurs, Newcastle and Man City.

 

FWIW, I don't expect him to be on Ramos's shopping list.

 

Even SUPERTOON beat you to that one.

:lol:

 

The Croatian media are now saying Liverpool have made a firm bid for Modric so I think he can be crossed off the shopping list.  Xabi Alonso becoming available?

Going back to Spain its been rumoured. At least it'll mean no more 60yard goals past us.

Didn't think Veloso was tbh. Moved the ball around well. Not a great physical presence in front of the back 4 though. Bit like Carrick imo.

Well Carrick's dead cert for coming here, so they need to replace him.

Man Utd will have been watching them for years. None of the Sporting players look anything from special from the games i've seen this season, Veloso looks tidy but no better than mid table players like Gareth Barry
