Read in the paper we are signing Modriv?

[WalcottSignedMyShirt]

Anyone think that is true?

[stearmaster]

on arsenal.com says wenger not signing ne1 else, but ne1 comes up he will be looking, so never know, but if u read it in the sun.....NO

[WalcottSignedMyShirt]

Worse I read it the london Lite paper (Free paper they hand you on the tube)

[stearmaster]

intreasting, i read it where it has the could be section and he was linked at 1 point, cant remember if it was london lite, or the other 1 cant think of name, so never know....only 1 person dose and thats arsene

I've read it and don't believe it,not for that price.Modric was supposed to go to Munich for €30m(although the ammount was pretty far-fetched,i would say €18-22m),but it collapsed cause Germans have already spent about €70m this summer.Modric is linked with Arsenal,Bayern,Ajax,Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder.Ajax and Werder don't have the money,Shakhtar's €25m offer was rejected and it's all up to Gunners and Bayern.If Eduardo's price tag was €15m,Man City's Corluka €13m,then Modric is estimated between €18-22m,because Dinamo Zagreb officials want to round up this season sales to €50m!Here in Croatia it's believed that Bayern had the "first option" for Modric,but since they've bought argentinian playmaker Sosa,Arsenal is logical new destination.Wenger is master of transfers and I believe that Modric will be a gunner,if the Frenchman wants it.Believe me,Luka is worth every penny/euro/kuna invested in him!Greetings from Croatia

Greetings Maxpeed

Thank you for the update.

[maxpeed]

You're welcome.It looks like I'll have to wait with buying new shirt,cause there just might be more Croats at Emirates then I thought...

[delgooner]

Article in the Evening Standard last night saying that the Arse COULD be making a move for Modric for 8 million. He's a mate of Eduardo so that could influence him. He's only 21 and he plays down the left flank or centrally, but Ive never seen him play so who knows.

And Arsene has claimed he is "not sleeping" over signing new players so will have to wait and see.

[Chunky The Gooner]

Ill tell you who knows Del Gooner Maxpeed knows !! He's our voice in Croatia and has been very helpful with his input and knowledge of Eduardo "DUDU " Da Silva !

welcome back maxspeed,,,,, i also read in the papers bout modric but i would go wit wat maxspeed says before some lazy journo,, there was a peice on football mondial about him and he does look class,, aw wont spend 25mill thou,,

[maxpeed]

What can I say,as a Dinamo fan I should know everything about my club's players,just as gooner should about Arsenal's,right?Our papers say the same as yours,but they're just rubbish.You can always look for him on youtube,there should be new movies cause in this season he's not only leading our attacks,but scores a goal per game!And believe it or not,scoring is not his cup of tea.Don't get me wrong,kid's pretty dangerous when shooting,but the best thing about him is he's natural-born playmaker!I mean,he'll come for ball deep in our half,quickly find opened teammate or make a run with the ball.The thing is he's short,pacey and very agile so he easily breaks opponents with sudden changes of pace and direction.Another good characteristic of his is "iron lungs",his average run distance in croatian league is about 10-11km per game,and we all know how slowpaced cro-league is(in national team 12-13,5km due to better teammates and harder opponents).Since he's THE national team playmaker as well,he surely has some international experience(played vs ENG,Spain,Brazil,Argentina,Russia,Italy,Norway,Israel...)Sadly,Dinamo tend to drop out of euro competitions early in september so serious euro-club exp is pretty much non-existing.I almost forgot to state he's headstrong and not gready - his primary goal is creating any kind of opportunity for teammates,preferably dead ones:lol:!Of course,he's got weaknesses as well:not such a great heading and free kicks,could improve defensive part and long distance shots(improving),but overall he's one of few guys who can orchestrate play and dictate tempo no matter what competition he plays in.Bad Blue Boys(Dinamo's hardcore fans,there's episode in The real football factories International about them)consider selling him as a ultimate betrayal to club's euro ambitions so it's gonna be interesting to see what happens when he's gone...IMHO,all hell will break loose!P.S. please don't mind my english,it's been a while since I had an opportunity to use it

Wenger need to bring him at Arsenal ground soonest as possible, cause i can see Fab... leaving very soon.

[U.F.G Anfield '89]

don't worry about that KAQAK he's staying for a fair few years, we could do with this modric chap though.

question for maxpeed: is he a very physical player, could he be a midfield enforcer?
