Jamie1807 146 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Maybe he's meaning he won't be starting the match? He's definitely in their squad.well theres Olic, Petric, Mandzukic and Eduardo also there...Thinking exactly the same earlier mate, is Klasnic (sp?) still in the squad? I had him in the place of Manduzukic when I was thinking about this.According to FF lads he has pulled out the squad Didn't say why tho Why?Its because he'll be boarding the next plane to Glasgow, baby I hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 He has probably pulled out to go and lie down in a dark, quiet room. This tension and suspense is killing me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmytto 220 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Why is it every time the deal looks to be dead or on it's last legs, it starts to pick up again?Because Martin Bain left the tanning salon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 6 Aug 2010Rangers are still hopeful of landing Croatian striker Nikica Jelavic.Ibrox chief executive Martin Bain returned from his trip to Austria empty-handed after failing to secure a deal for the 24-year-old.But he will continue discussions with Rapid Vienna today and over the weekend in an attempt to deliver manager Walter Smith his first summer signing.The SPL champions have tabled a bid of £3.5million for the 6ft 2in forward after Smith identified the powerful frontman as his No.1 signing target.That bid has been rejected as Bain was informed by Rapid officials they weren’t overly keen to do business with a Europa League fourth-round qualifying tie taking place this month.The player has informed Rapid he will be unhappy if they refuse to sell him to Rangers and now Rapid are having to weigh up the implications.Bain said: “We held talks and discussions are ongoing.”Jelavic will join the Croatia squad on Sunday for a friendly in Slovakia and he would like his future sorted out as quickly as possible.Rangers are willing to shell out most of their transfer budget on him and have also offered to pay him £15,000-a-week as they attempt to fill the void left by Kris Boyd’s departure.Honduran striker Georgie Welcome, who would cost £500,000, is on trial at Murray Park, but is unlikely to be offered a contract.Smith is an admirer of Jelavic and believes he will provide the team with a goalscorer.Rapid are determined to bank as much as possible for the player as his former club, Belgian side Zulte Waregem, are entitled to a sell-on fee.“I would prefer if Jelavic was still playing for us in the group stages of the Europa League and scoring goals,” said Rapid general manager Werner Kuhn. “We could then sell him for a spectacular fee in January.”Jelavic has made it clear he is ready to leave now and Rangers hope he will be the first of three new arrivals.Smith wants to see what he has left to play with in terms of wages he can offer players before he turns his attention to various loan stars.The Ibrox boss is considering a couple of options for wide positions, but his priority is to land Jelavic.When did he pull out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 He may have pulled due to the problem he had when lost his footing while celebrating his goal? That's if he has pulled out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be Croatia's last test before European qualifiers at Latvia on September 3rd and at home to Greece September 7th.Croatia:Goalkeepers:Vedran Runje (RC Lens), Danijel Subašić (Hajduk Split)Defenders:Josip Šimunić (Hoffenheim), Jurica Buljat (Hajduk), Ivan Strinić (Hajduk), Vedran Ćorluka(Tottenham), Gordon Schindelfeld(SK Sturm Graz)Midfielders:Darijo Srna (Shakhtar Donetsk), Ognjen Vukojević (Dynamo Kiev), Tomislav Dujmović (Lokomotiv), Danijel Pranjić (Bayern Munich), Luka Modrić (Tottenham), Drago Gabrić (Trabzonspor), Niko Kranjčar(Tottenham), Ivan Rakitić (FC Schalke 04)Forwards::Ivica Olić (Bayern Munich), Mladen Petrić (Hamburg), Mario Mandžukić (Vfl Wolfsburg), Eduardo Da Silva (FC Shakhtar Donetsk), Nikica Jelavić (Rapid).http://www.croatiansoccerreport.com/2010/07/bilic-names-squad-to-face-slovakia.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudstrife3139 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The guy is still in the squad, the official croatia squad page is wrong. The wiki page is right, as pletikosa the goalie is signing for Spurs on loan tomorrow and isn't in the squad on wiki unlike the croatia website.

bluenose_72 198 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 A few familiar faces will not be with the senior team for the final friendly before two important qualifiers in September. Ivica Križanac has officially retired from the Croatian national side while Dejan Lovren, Ivan Perišić, Domagoj Vida and Nikola Kalinić will all remain on duty with the U-21 side facing Norway on the same day. Mate Bilić, Stipe Pletikosa, Hrvoje Čale, Dario Knežević, and Nikola Pokrivač all missed the cut. 25 year old former Dinamo Zagreb defender, Gordon Schildenfeld will be looking for his fourth cap against Slovakia.The Croatian FA site had some of those players listed who all missed the cut.

Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Well we know that Slaven Bilic gets a hard-on regarding anything old firm so he might have given the green light to Jelavic jetting into Glasgow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Walter Smith has said he wanted to hear from Rapid Vienna early this week and with us agreeing a fee then they have been true to their word.Up to Jelavic now. Can he agree personal terms? Time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
