Kalinic's Rovers Move Agreed In Principle??

well he was in the crowd sporting a rovers track suit at hillsborough so tha tells me he is already a rovers player subject to work permit

I hear this deal is done in Croatia and that he has agreed to sign for you guys but they said the same thing for Portsmouth so I dont want to bring you guys bogus news. I dont think Porto is in the run as for he wont get enough playing time there. So it is whether Portsmouth will offer more now and if not he is a Rover.

VERY NICE---cheers

The croatian Times reports the following......3rd August 2009. Hajduk Split player Kalinic transfers to Blackburn Croatian Times Hajduk Split player Nikola Kalinic has signed a four-year contract with Blackburn Rovers that will mean seven million Euros for the Croatian club. It is the largest amount that has been paid for a Hajduk player. Hajduk will receive seven million Euros plus 15 per cent of the value of any future transfer by Kalinic to another club, the Sportal website has reported. Kalinic will earn around one 1.7 million pounds or 1.99 million Euros per season. Kalinic’s manager Tomislav Erceg said: "I have been told Kalinic’s transfer is the biggest after Alen Shearer’s. Finally, I believe everything has been concluded. Kalinic has passed all the medical exams, and he will probably not return to Croatia but join his new team." Hajduk officials Mate Peros and Jako Andabak said Kalinic’s transfer to Portsmouth had failed because they had concluded Portsmouth officials had been playing games with them and, meanwhile, Blackburn had made a better offer. Peros and Andabak said Kalinic had been welcomed as a star by Blackburn. Peros said: "All I can say to you is that is the best offer we received for Kalinic. It is the biggest and best transfer Hajduk has arranged for one of its players."

Good luck with him, wish we'd offered more than one conker, three jelly babies and a half chewed toffee apple!!
