Ramires is good, i wouldn't say he's world class yet, Modric is. Although you cant really compare them, different players. I also think it's fair to say Modric will get into your team, Ramires wont, well at least not yet.
Mikel will handle the defensive duties. Similar to Carrick and Scholes, although Carrick is less defensive than Mikel, his job does consist of getting the ball and moving it along swiftly. Also Mountinho isn't known for his defensive duties either, so i'm not sure where you got that from.
Maybe not! Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague gets better: despite the meeting tomorrow, Barcelona club sources say they won't sign Drogba, wages too high. Well have 2 wait and see Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague Drogba has got a clause that allows him to leave Shangai Shenhua for free if Barcelona came calling. He will meet the Spanish club tomorrow Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague In Spain it is being reported that Didier Drogba is arriving tomorrow to Barcelona to sign for FC Barcelona
So there's only 4-5 players in the world that we can buy who plays in that position? I'm pretty sure we're looking at alternatives. Last year no one was talking about Cabaye as a potential backup to Modric.
Is anyone else tired of talking about Torres? people have been saying the same thing for the past year. Hopefully he does well next season, but i wouldn't get my hopes up.
So i'm guessing this will be the saga of the summer.. It wouldn't surprise me if we miss out on signing him and instead we resign Kalou... perfect replacement.
Bale? seriously. And yes we do need Modric, we desperately need a deep lying midfielder to start of the attacks. He can also play in the Mata role. Imagine Modric, Hazard and Mata in one team... brilliant.
