It was discussed yesterday in the Tin Jedvaj thread. There is nothing to this story in Croatia and the guy who broke this news writes about 50 stories a day, mainly to get hits on his website and also for likes on facebook.

Haven't looked through all his posts but from the last couple tweets it seems to me as if he just sums up Croatian media, no insider knowledge whatsoever. But seems like a having a good general knowledge of the croatian league.

But then dinpomp's not on line that's best I could do ;)

Here's guy in Hrvetska who's seem "somehow" connected.

No, he's not. Just gathering info and passing it on.

The reported 16m offer from Arsenal for Halilovic, was first reported by Alfredo Pedulla, and yours truly passed that info on here probably within minutes ( http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/tin-jedvaj.95659/page-33#post-3407248 ). Eventually that story/rumour made the rounds and that is that.

It's ALL speculation.

So, I have talked to my croatian source and doesn't sound that promising:

Nothing really new in this case. My source doesn't believe that Mamic will fix a deal early and let them play for Zagreb. They won't move before they're 18. Arsenal would splash 15m€on Halilovic at the moment. If Alen doesn't make it to the World Cup 2014, the family will think about moving together with all Halilovic's in summer 2015.
There isn't a sign that there will be contracts signed soon unfortunatley, but you never know.

I am not a good translator sorry for that but just pass on...

They are not. Transition measures are put in place, and it will be at least two years before Croatians are allowed the full extent of the EU freedom of movement liberties.
Ta, well there we have it. At least it applies to the other clubs mentioned so maybe not as terminal as some fear.

This is the sort of transfer I've been looking forward to for a long time. This lad has real world class potential and we should do whatever we can to get him here.

I kind of want this more than anything else. I love young talent!!


you on the register? :whistle:


know what you mean though, we just cannot compete when they become stars so we need to take a punt, risky it may be. i'd be over the moon if we sign these two.

ANother statement of my croatian source:

Talks with every interested club in Halilovic are finished: No result ( :cry: )

According to his dad he will stay at least until 2014 maybe 2015 @ Zagreb . No deal agreed.

(Don't shoot the messanger just passing on)

Can't say I'm to fussed in truth seemed like a lot of money to be risking. Money we need to be spending on proven players now. Unfortunately we don't have the kind of money previously quoted to risk on potential

How do you know? If Levy thinks they're worth it then I'm sure we've figured out the financials in such a way that it won't harm us in other areas. He's hardly Peter Risdale. I'm confident that money would still be there for other players. If it were not AVB would likely be gone by now.
