Lucifer Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I wouldn't pay more than 4m for him simply because of his age and lack of resale value, and the fact that he only has a year left on his current contract. Any more and it would just be a rip off, regardless of how much we need bodies in defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I haven't heard any quotes about a price. I'd expect it to be less that 4m, regardless fo how good he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 This would be a very good short-term signing. He's only got a year left on his contract and Juande Ramos (Sevilla coach) said today that "anything is possible" regarding Drago while the window is open. The Spanish press have mentioned 3 - 5M euros (roughly £2 - 3.5m). The low price reflects the fact he's 32 in November and only has a year on his contract.

beardsleymagic Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Personally I don't know anything about him but, given the lack of activity in the transfer market of late, i'm trusting Sam's judgement and hope he turns out to be steal.

Mags Serbia Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Mags Serbia, if you read this, what's your take on him? (Assuming you know more about him than we do) I seen Dragutinovic several times and Dragutinovic is very good player.I think that He is better than Babayaro but He is too old for us for this price(8-12 M euros) Dragutinovic is also very strong player , 6′ 1″ tall and seems the classic Allardyce type defender...

AS have quoted as little as 3M euros but I think it was Marca quoted 5M euros. Given he'll leave for nothing next summer, apparently fancies a move to England, and he's nearly 32, I don't think he'll be that expensive at all. I think this rumour's got mileage in it, Sevilla sound ready to do a deal, the player apparently wants a move to England and he suits Allardyce's profile because of his experience and versatility. He's exactly what we're looking for, if a bit short-term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Draga fits the profile that Big Sam said.but i think it will be a problem with his pace if he plays as LB Agreed 100 %. Heinze isn't that fast at LB either, but would have been welcomed by most on here. Besides, I think Sam is looking for a LB who has more of a defensive mindset anyway.

gazza ladra Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Didn't see this anywhere. The Guardian Rumour Mill has a glib comment about Sam pursuing Lilian Thuram "Sam Allardyce is set to shatter his reputation for begin a canny operator in the transfer market by selling Obafemi Martins to pay for Alan Smith. However he may restore it by picking up Lilian Thuram from Barcelona." http://football.guardian.co.uk/rumourmill Is this rumour found anywhere else?

Do you get-recognize-understand sarcasm at all? The Guardian is merely recounting the rumours that are being reported elsewhere-- and pointing out that some of them are nuts. I know where they picked up the rubbish about selling Martins, I would like to know who originally reported the link with Thuram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toontoon Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 from marca: The Newcastle will pay four million by Dragon tree F.Q - Seville Seville or knows that it must sell to Dragutinovic because it is the desire of the player, who or has reached an agreement with the Newcastle having received three times more than what he does in Nervión by three seasons the more another optional one. Seville has it assimilated and it does not see with bad eyes the operation, since it will receive four million euros plus another one based on objectives. It is necessary to remember that the Serb, although finished the season very well being to title in the two end, has never been unquestionable in the Seville and that cost in its day a million euros. That yes, Seville will not make official its sale until it signs to the substitute of the Serbian power station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Cost about as much as Rozenhal then, I can live with that. I would be ten times more happy about this signing than Alan Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Looks like a big guy. Probably bought to play centre defence rather than LB. I think you might see another player coming who can play both center back and left back, Allardyce likes his players versatile and it gives us more options in several positions.
