According to the original news, we were waiting for response to our work permit applications. So maybe both sides are keeping their mouths shut until we know whether we can actually bring them to England.

Cocks out.
Sir Alex Ferguson will make a personal plea on Friday to try to persuade the Home Office to award a work permit to Zoran Tosic, the young Serbia winger. Manchester United have agreed a fee with Partizan Belgrade, believed to be in the region of £8 million, but the 21-year-old does not qualify automatically for a work permit as he is not yet a regular for the national team. United must make a special application to the Home Office, which will be heard in Sheffield by a panel that is likely to include Chris Waddle, the former England winger. United’s case is not certain to be looked on favourably but Ferguson will make the point that Tosic, who already has 12 caps for his country, is a player of outstanding potential. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle5226452.ece Not a word on Ljajic though. |

Some reports are suggesting that we've agreed to pay £8-9 million for the pair of them:

Manchester United target Zoran Tosic has urged caution despite reports that The Red Devils have already applied for a work permit for the Partizan Belgrade winger. Sir Alex Ferguson has identified Tosic as a possible long-term replacement for Ryan Giggs and a double deal has been set up to bring Adem Ljajic to Old Trafford as well, as previously revealed on setantasports.com. Reports in England claim Ferguson will attend a meeting on Friday to hear if an £8 million move for Tosic can be processed as the 21-year-old requires a work permit. A panel, allegedly including Chris Waddle, will assess the case. However, Tosic and Ljajic are only thinking of Partizan at present and are refusing to confirm the move is being pushed through. "I don't know anything about it," said Tosic. "I heard about that on TV. "My friends called me and told me to watch SOS Kanal [a Serbian TV station] and I was surprised. "I really don't think about a transfer to United. We will talk about this in the future. "If this will happen, we will talk about me playing in England and playing in Ryan Giggs's position but, until then, it doesn't make sense to talk about it. "The Premier League is the strongest league in Europe. The game is all about strength and aggression. The beauty of the game is not so important." Ljajic scored in the 5-1 win against OFK Belgrade at the weekend and also stressed nothing was concluded, despite already undergoing a trial at Old Trafford. "I really don't know anything about it," said the 17-year-old. "Of course, I like the stories of me going to United, but the most important thing for me right now is Partizan. "I concentrate only on the games and try to give my best for the team." |

I'm surprised with how much media attention this is getting. At first I thought it was pure BS, but Ljajic has had a trial at Utd so there is something to to it for sure.
Tosic has the potential to succeed in the PL I am sure of that. Ljajic looks like a potential superstar, both should play vs Standard Liege on Thursday. |

Ferguson closes in on ‘Little Kaka’
Author: Charlie Coffey Posted on: 26 November 2008 - 11:55 Category: Football Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly secured the signatures of a pair of Serbian wonderkids from Partizan Belgrade for £9 million, according the The Daily Mail. Midfielders Zoran Tosic, 21, and Adem Ljajic, 17, are two of the hottest properties in the Serbian Superliga. A work-permit hearing to decide whether Tosic can join United takes place this Friday. Ljajic, nicknamed “Little Kaka” has already made an appearance in the Champion’s League. He had a trial with the European Champions while on International duty in England with the Serbian under 21s, and Ferguson liked what he saw. “We have been in contact with Manchester United for some time now” confirmed Partizan general secretary Darko Grubor.

 Seems a bit ropey this one. Media saying one thing, club saying another, players haven’t a clue, and United are saying nothing! (typically) If the story about a work permit application for Tosic on Friday are true then I guess we’ll hear something over the weekend one way or another. Any of the Serbian lads on this board have any more news on this? |

The only quote in the daily mail story is from way back when he had a trial with us in October, they've obviously just met a couple of Serbians in the pub or read it on the caf |

Partizan deny United deal
No deal for Tosic or Ljajic Partizan Belgrade have insisted they have not had any contact with Manchester United over Zoran Tosic or Adem Ljajic. United are believed to be looking at both players with reports suggesting they have already agreed terms for Tosic which could also see Ljajic moving to Manchester. Tosic is a current Serbian international and reports in England have claimed that Sir Alex Ferguson will be part of a United delegation that will attend a work-permit hearing this week over the left-winger. The 21-year-old does not meet current work-permit criteria to play in the Premier League but, given he is valued at £8million, reports suggest United are trying to broker a permit for him. However, Partizan sports director Ivan Tomic has stated that United have not signed either player, amid claims the European champions will try and strike a double deal. United's interest in Ljajic - another attacking midfielder - heralds from the fact he was on trial at Old Trafford earlier this season. The 17-year-old is understood to have impressed, which has led to constant speculation that a move to United was in the pipeline. No deal "It is not true that Tosic and Ljajic have already signed for Manchester United," Tomic said. "It is simple, there has been no direct contact or official offer coming from England. "Of course, it would be nice if they want some of our players, but it's not true." Tosic has also continued to insist he knows nothing about a deal. "I have nothing new to add on that subject, as I contacted my managers and they told me to keep my focus on playing and to stick to our mutual agreement which is that they will not inform me about anything until things move on to a much clearer situation," Tosic told Vecernje Novosti. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...553315,00.html |

Was staying pretty much in the centre. Wandered around a bit, saw some cockroaches and buildings that are falling down, and went to that beach by the river which was crawling. And yet, inexplicably, the women are ridiculously hot. |

I didn't watch the game but Partizan lost 1-0. I heard that Tosic played really well though for those interested. He hit the bar and was a general handful. Ljajic didn't really stand out as far as i'm told - he did show some ability to beat players though.
If anyones interested I will post a torrent link to the match later |

Buildings falling down - were they the bombed buildings by any chance? What was wrong with the beached area? Did you walk around any of the parks or any of the old streets? Of course there's going to be shitty areas (as there are in London - certain areas are real shithoooles) but calling it a 'filthy, shitty city' is out of line and an insult to people who live there. |
