No Luka Modric in Liverpool next season

By Oscar in Sports 1 Comment Tags: , , ,

Damnit, it seems Tottenham won the fight for highly rated Luka Modric. According to ESPN he hasagreed with Tottenham already and only needs to pass a medical. Dinamo Zagreb have then agreed the £15.8million deal/bid from Tottenham – too late again from Benitez?

Reports also indicate that the right back Benitez told the press Liverpool had signed is not Rafinha but Swiss international Degen from Dortmund. He’ll be joining as Bosman, I’m not sure I agree with Benitez that Degen would “instantly take a place in the starting eleven” – as he earlier commented on the signing. We can still hope it’s Rafinha, but it seems Degen is a more realistic target.

Goggles burn deluxe from Sölden

Just came back from a mini-getaway in Sölden, Austria. It might not have been your normal conference because well, there simply wasn’t a conference. It was more 2500 people from EMEA and some other that came together for a couple of days (some for a week) of networking, bonding and of course partying. Although the season had closed for the year in Sölden last week, everything was booked, this essentially meant that it was almost impossible to find a non-Googler anywhere in the place, quite spectacular since Sölden is a quite big place for skiing (check out the Skimap).

My goggles burn is killing me, it might have been a good idea to actually to go for 25+ in the face as some people did, my 15 was a bit naive, at least if you consider that it was a clear blue sky all of the wednesday at 2000-3000 meters. Unexperienced to the fullest from yours truly.
