Guest Patrokles Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Some desperate attempts to make ourselves feel better over this. Listen, let's not sugar-coat it or pretend we don't care. This is a massive disappointment, and a little embarrassing. If you're including me in that, you're wrong. I'm not trying to make myself feel better, as I've never seen this lad play and have no idea how good he is, so I genuinely am not arsed that we didn't get him. Is it really a "massive disappointment" for you? Just how much do you know about this kid to be so massively disappointed? Wasn't including you. And, yes, it's a massive disappointment, potentially. It's disappointing because he was one of the better players we could realistically get. We'll see who else comes in. I just don't want another summer of shite signings.

Gemmill 34464 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I tell you what though, now he's gone to Spurs I hope he's fucking shite! Re a summer of shite signings: that's not gonna happen. Keegan will have no knackers as part of the Kevolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3978 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If he's gone to Spurs for an extra 10 bob a week - fuck him. If he's gone to Spurs because its in London - fuck him. If he was given time to think on it and went to speak to Spurs - fuck him. I hope he's as gutless as Maric - would suit Spurs in that case.

Unfortunately, though, these are all problems we're going to face right now. Perhaps he went to Spurs to play European football? The draw of London is far bigger than that of Newcastle for a player who has no allegiance to either club, and has never played at either venue. That's the unfortunate reality.

Andrew 4220 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I hope stevie doesn't stop with his predictions if they're like this, this had some genuine substance behind it and was really interesting while it was going on I'm sure we'll land one or two if he keeps it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course - nothing new - but that doesn't mean I can't decide to irrationally hate him and hope he gets injured in the Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26348 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It's embarrassing because the common consensus is that we either didn't offer him reasonable wages, or we didn't match what Spurs offered his club. It would have been a statement of intent to really push this one through, and we were in pole position, and essentially, we blew it. What a load of absolute shite. You nor anyone else on this board has a fucking clue what happened. All we know is that he spoke to us earlier in the week, we have no idea how long he has been speaking to Spurs and what affected his decision. You say we were in pole position, again you have absolutely no idea if this was true. So stop acting as if this is the most embarassing thing to happen us, it's a minor blip, no one outside of Newcastle is really going to give a fuck that we lost out on him. A lot of people overreacting here because we lost out on a player (who is hardly a household name) to a club which is a lot more attractive than us. There's no point in sitting feeling sorry for ourselves, I'm sure there are plenty of equally talented players out there for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26348 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If Modric was in Toon on tues, it looks like he was hear to talk to Ashleys London bum chums from spurs, not the Newcastle "scouting team". All this Ashley/Kemesley crap is starting to look a bit suspect. Kemsley is no longer on the Spurs board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, you never really say anything worth reading anyway, so I'm alright with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 706 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm aye disappointed, can't lie. It really seemed as though we were going to get him and to be robbed by Spuds of all shiteating clubs is agonising. That said, people trying to roast Stevie in this thread are just bitter. He provided decent information, it wasn't a complete bollocks story at all. There was some substance, looked like we would make the signing, and it's fallen through. On to greater things I suppose!

MattM4 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It's a weird one. Just like Gemmill I've never seen this guy in action. Never even really heard of him before this week. But having all week heard a lot of praise for him from all sorts of neutral fans, and hearing today he's opted for Spurs is a little disappointing. However hearing the fee was over £15m is somewhat healing... fuck that! PS: I've just seen this video of the Spurs fans celebrating their new signing: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=21...h&plindex=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we've lost the deal and it perhaps was a strategic descision not to pay over a certain amount. We can't carry on like that however or we'll lose every player there is competition to sign.

Hadrian 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) from what i can gather , modric didnt have much choice of where he was going , spurs reps flew out to zagreb and signed the deal off . he'd been pimped around and got told where he was going . i think we thought we'd have more time , i hope they didnt like cos thats a bad sign for things to come , unless they wise up (sorry, had to) Edited April 26, 2008 by Hadrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
