nufc1984 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 luque/viduka Luque holds key for viduka move! 25 Aug 2005 In an exclusive interview with clubcall, leading Spanish journalist Ivan Modia has revealed that Middlesbrough striker Mark Viduka recently agreed to join Deportivo La Coruna, only for the deal to break down over the transfer fee, writes Kevin Hatchard. Viduka has been linked with moves to Newcastle Utd and Everton in recent weeks, but Modia has revealed the injury-hit striker nearly moved to La Liga: 'The Deportivo manager Joaquin Caparros wants a big striker to complete his squad, and he wants one from the Premiership.' 'They asked about the situation of Viduka at Middlesbrough, and he agreed to join Deportivo.' 'However, the two clubs couldn't agree a fee, and Viduka didn't move.' Both Middlesbrough and Viduka have publicly stated they have no interest in arranging a transfer, but Modia believes that such statements are merely a smokescreen: 'Viduka said in public that he would never join Deportivo, but the only reason he didn't move to Spain was that Depor couldn't afford him.' 'They only have £1.5million to spend on a striker, and that was not enough for Viduka.' However, the Galician club could receive a cash boost if they can sell star striker Albert Luque, with Newcastle United still interested in the Spanish international. Modia believes that if Depor sell Luque, they could come back in for Viduka: 'They need to sell Luque because he's the best player and would make the most money.' 'Viduka is a top target, but unless Luque is sold, they can't afford anyone.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: LUQUE TO NEWCASTLE FOR 14 MILLION EUROS. further down: LA VENTA DE LUQUE AL NEWCASTLE PASA POR OWEN. Jueves, 25 agosto a las 09:10:48 El madridista Michael Owen tiene la llave para el traspaso de Albert Luque al Newcastle, una operación de unos quince millones de euros. Después de que los dirigentes del club inglés aterrizasen en A Coruña para cerrar el traspaso del catalán y el acuerdo se demorase varios días, las urracas optaron por frenar las negociaciones y buscar otra alternativa. Translation: THE SALE OF LUQUE TO NEWCASTLE OCCURS THROUGH OWEN Madrista Michael Owen holds the key for Albert Luque's transfer to Newcastle for approximately 15 million Euros, after the leaders of the English club landed in La Coruña to complete the Catalan's move. The agreement was delayed for several days, as the Magpies chose to call off negotiations and look for another alternative. Quite how Owen holds the key though, I'm not sure.

Optimistic Nut 145 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'd be happy if we screwed Depor over and signed Luque AND Viduka. A front three of Viduka with Luque & Dyer just off him looks strong IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
