(Rather) Long story about how we signed Modric

[Montasura]

Loved this post!

Repped you for it altho i'm sure i'm not the only one !!

Brilliant.

That could be turned into a mini-movie! Seriously though well done to everyone involved getting Luka to WHL

 

[spurslenny]

truth or fiction, frankly who cares!
a great read. The real truth is that Modric is a spurs player and how/why he came here is largely irrelevent

 

[mil1lion]

Yeah, great read for sure. I can just imagine Daniel Levy with a suitcase of money aswell. Take it or leave it.

 

[michaelden]

Nice read but where's chapter 2?

 

[Max_Junglie]

Keegan reminds me of that guy out of League of Gentlemen, harping on about his old band Creme Brulee. "Did you know I was European Player of The Year at Hamburg? And I had an afro."

:rofl:

Keegan is such a boob.

 

[Coyboy]

Excellent read.

Nice read but where's chapter 2?

Luka is going to write it starting in August.

 

[Wellspurs]

Can't believe Dennis Wise didn't swing it with his personna and some cockney rhyming slang?

 

[Stoof]

Great article - not the first time Levy has ever sorted a deal personally though. I dare say he's been involved in all of the transfers of major amounts of cash.

Doesn't really add up. They don't say why they sold him if they had a better offer. I can only assume they knew Modric wanted to come to us and only us, but they don't say

 

[spurious1]

If that's all true Levy is really ace in the negotiation biz (pretty sure that's true anyway). Modric's value is going up and up and if we hadn't signed him prior to the Euro's it would have been really difficult to do so afterwards.

The Best Chairman in the world Ever ...

I hope he is staying for us for ever :-|

 

[speccy_spur]

Levy offered €23 million compensation and €2 million per year for Mamic.

I am starting to see how Levy managed to pull this off...

The barcodes might have stolen him if they had not brought along Wise and Ashley.

The barcodes might have stolen him if they had not brought along Wise and Ashley.

And Keegan. They should have brought all the Best Fans In The World over, then Luka would have realised that Newcastle was the place to be.

Glad you enjoyed it and cheers for the many nice words.

As I said, I got it on email from a mate - he would probably call himself quasi-ITK. I have asked for more info and will post when it comes in. Not going to be very often, as he doesn't spin shit.

So...to sum up...Modric's signed then has he ?

 

[joey.leone]

bahahah at keegan. i cant get the image of him trying to impress them by speaking croatian out of my mind. he probably said offensive remarks by accident knowing him.

what an utter idiot, ha ha ha.

You gotta hand it to Levy, some on here slated him for his handling of Jol but in the end that worked out pretty damn good for us and as a bonus we won a trophy the same season.

I love his style if this article is indeed genuine, flying all the way over there and then saying them words really is something out of a movie.

Very good read :up:
