I'm from Croatia, so excuse my English, but I will explain to you why these rumors are complete nonsense, and on the end of the article I have put newer videos of Modrić, because till a week ago, all Luka modrić videos on youtube were crapy.. There is a video of his whole game agains Spain, really shows his class, for those who didn't watch the game.
I have been reading about this for 3-4 days now. Never took it seriously, and never thought you guys will take it seriously. The reason for this is when I read firs article about it, it didn't have any quotes, a day latter I have read: 'Bilić' said he is going to Madrid, so I thought 'what the f is this, Slaven Bilić would never say sometnihg like this during the Euros, IT's A FALSE QUOTE'.. But stupid me, it wasn't even Slaven Bilić qoute, it was MATE Bilić stupid quote. And then all the pices started to come together. Mate Bilić is his teammate for Croatia, but he wasn't selected for Euros 2012. In fact probably last time Mate Bilić and Luka Modrić met was year ago. He plays in Spain, so probably Spanish media picked him for an interwiev, if there even was a interwiev.. Correct me if i'm wrong. They are not specialy good friends (modrić best friends are Ćorluka, Kranjčar, Eduardo, vukojević etc)..
This is the interview I'm talking about, it's Croatian but you can translate it with google chrome (http://www.index.hr/euro-2012/clanak/mate-bilic-ima-recept-za-spanjolsku-uzmite-im-loptu-i-dodajte-ju-modricu/621170.aspx)
HOW THE F WOULD MATE BILIĆ KNOW THAT TRANSFER TO REAL MADRID IS AT SIGHT??? I think only 5-6 people in the world know about it and Mate bilić isn't one of them for sure.. ONLY THING HE HAS SAID IS THAT HE LIKES SPANIS STYLE OF PLAY.. Which is a known fact here in Croatia, because he has been saying that since he was 19... He likes barca's style. Probably becouse he is similar player to Barca's players IMO. Maybe it will happen, maybe he signs for Real Madrid, but it wont be becouse Mate f.....g Bilić said so, IMO and i dont think any negotiation took place during or before Euros. BTW Mate Bilić is a crapy player.
ABOUT MODRIĆ:
Can't belive some are saying he goes missing in big games, can' belive how many times have i read it here. What does it even meen???
Imagine, Spain vs Croatia, switch xavi and modrić, and try to imagine how would modrić fit in to Spain, and what would Xavi do for Croatia.
Or maybe Manchester united vs Tottenham, and switch Paul Scholes and Modrić.. Or Italy vs Croatia, and switch Pirlo and Modrić..
I am not saying modrić would do batter than any of them, just trying to say that you guys would probably say that Pirlo, Xavi and Scholes went missing in those games, which is logical really when you consider they play whit weaker teammates and fairly stronger opponent..
LUKA MODRIĆ VS SPAIN

And please take a look at these videos.. His 2012 season rewiev.. It's a 20 min video, and really shows his quality.. Don't think many of you have seen them since they have 1000-2000 views..

I've been readind 606 for 4 years now, the one on BBC and this one. One of better sport forums out there IMO.. Never posted nothing, becouse you guys dont like 'gloryhunters' and that is every person on this board that speaks foreing language, or what?? So i thought why bother, when you will just consider me or stupid or fake?!?! But i really like to read. See you
And plese don't bother to remind me the it's not good to judge a player based on watching his youtube videos, becouse i have watched Modrić at least in 200 games, and at lest 40 of them were live, so my opinion of him isn't based on statistics or videos.. I just thik he is aprart from Scholes, Xavi, Pirlo (Iniesta, Fabregas etc are IMO slightly different type of players)biggest brain in worlds football, completly aware of everything that is happening at the pitch in any given moment, and knows what to do about it.. That makes him IMO only player that we can buy to replace Scholes, and i think we really need that type of player, now and in the future.
Whats your opinion on Torres saying modrić has impresed him the most during the Euros:
http://www.index.hr/euro-2012/clanak/torres-modric-me-impresionirao-steta-sto-je-euro-ostao-bez-takvog-igraca/621859.aspx
Do you think people should consider Torres comments, or 'Modrić haters' comments on this boards.. I presonaly think Torres is a crapy player, but value his opinion on this matter.
And what about Ferguson, and Ferdinand ratings on Modrić, Ferdinand said to Dario Šimić, Croatian former player that he just 'loves' Modrić, and strangly didn't say nothin about Modrić missing in big games.. Do you think those are important, or do you think 'ManUtdDaredevil (U9612)' coments are more important for the future of MUFC..
Luka Modrić going to Real hehehe

This is Croatian article that says every thing about Modrić going to Real, i probably think you have the sam information... Just saying mate bilić is an idiot and he could not know anything abou that.. He is only croatian player in spain, if you consider Rakitić was plaing in Euro 2012.. So they just interwied him, and they wanted some sort of sensation, becouse this stuff sell newspapers, and get you some aditional kliks on you web site!!!!
