Guest shaun11177 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hopefully every other club will think he had a crap game too. All we need now is for Gomis to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 He looked alright did nothing much, looked tidy...Then scores of a deflected hit and hope. So should be a superstar on here by the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It is weird to think his team were ignoring him so much, considering the fact he scored the winnger. Yes it was no wonder goal, but he looks good, go fori t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i think we still have a fair chance tbh. if we really push for him, i think we'll get him. if he wants to come to the PL, realistically i can't see manure, arsenal or chelsea going for him. liverpool are skint, i think we can actually beat liverpool to him on a pure financial basis, and they want milner anyway. otherwise we can compete with everton, pompey and west ham for players, blackburn can't afford him, spurs have modric and citeh are preoccupied with rohnaldinho. i think if he goes to the PL, which he may well do, he will go to either us, pompey, everton or citeh, and we can compete with those 3 clubs.

colinmk Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 We bid fucking £16m for Modric, surely this guy is worth pushing the boat out for aswell. I would say so. He has that spark about him and looks like a good all-rounder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 We've taken a gamble and it might well not pay off now. Nuts. Eh? What gamble? They just didnt want to sell him before the euros as they knew that what ever happened they'd get more after it. Or are you whoooosing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Agree with Kimbo, we put in a £16 million bid for Modric, so why not offer something similar for Turan before the competition, with Galatasarays money problems they wouldn't be able to risk turning down that kind of offer.

You don't know that's half the budget, I'm sure that Keegan would not bid £16m for Modric if that was half the budget blown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didnt want to sell him before the euros as they knew that what ever happened they'd get more after it. Or are you whoooosing They said he could go for a price we weren't prepared to pay at the time. They wanted to wait until after the Euros to see if they could get that price, which they probably will now - probably more and very possibly not off us, whether we're prepared to raise it or not.

We need 5 or 6 players, so why waste half the likely transfer budget on him? Why "waste" it on Modric? The board obviously think we have enough of a budget to spend big on a player. A player of that quality can make a massive difference to a team. Imagine Spurs without Berbatov, Everton without Arteta, Villa without Young.

We need 5 or 6 players, so why waste half the likely transfer budget on him? Well why waste is on Modric? I know Spuds fans would disagree but Modric isn't 5-6 players on his own Newcastle seem to think we can afford to spend that kind of money on one player, so my question is if Modric was worth it then why not Turan?

Dr Venkman Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i was impressed by his work rate and bravery as much as anything else, had a solid game but nothing spectacular, on that showing though he'd still drastically improve our midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, cos that happens all the time. Even if a player is completely shit in an international tournament, his club can and will say 'he now has more international caps - give us more money'.

Exactly, and he is a young player who's more likely to give us value for money which is apparently what we are after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
