Guest Stevie Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Jist of it is and this is consistent with what I was told. His agent was here yesterday negotiating terms, and we flew him back to Zagreb by private jet, where Modric has to decide sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8928 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 So does anyone want to translate? I've mailed the link to a Croatian friend and also asked him how credible the report is in his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Great player like, I would love for him to play for us. Nee offence Stevie but I'll be skeptical until he signs as I am with any player who gets mentioned, good to hear him mentioned though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14136 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I doubt he'd stay for more than a season or two, but I don't mind us being his stepping stone to greater things in exchange for the possibility that he might just help us to a high enough level that he'd want to stay.

Isegrim 8928 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Some chap on N-O believes we've offered a low starting wage which is a stumbling block. My Croatian mate basically confirms that the story says Newcastle had sent a private plane to Zagreb for Modric and his agent. He gives the story a credibility of 10% as he says according to the media in Croatia Modric already got sold to Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham amongst others. The story appearing in several different Croatian is raising hope for me though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably looked at what we've allegedly offered Martins and demanded 300k a week. martins thing doesnt look good like , and im not sure if i belive it all , seems more like a gentle shove from his agent than owt else . but , i wouldnt like to compare a wage offer for a player who's had a couple of seasons in the prem with us , to one comming in from a weaker foreign league . its the duff's, smiths , emre's thats holding us back , all must be sitting pretty on 50k+ pw , i think keegan should be allowed to get more hands on with the wage budget (thats if he isnt) , he's not daft and extremely ruthless when it comes to putting our best interests first , he'll have the squad cleared in no time , thats not if he's gonna do it anyway . we cant survive if our weekly salary is 70% of income , speaking of which , gonna be a few cheap players out of west ham this summer we could grab .

Isegrim 8928 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 According to my friend the only credible news sources from Croatia are sportnet.hr and sportske-novosti.hr who rarely print pure fiction as most others (especially sportal.hr and index.hr) and who have been very coy to write anything about Modric in recent weeks. If the rumour has legs these sites are probably to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
