In a way I wish Alacantra had a shit U-21, think our pursuit of the player wouldn't have been affected by it anyway. But at the end of the day its whether the manager would pick him regularly, we have Mceachran who hasn't been picked lately and let's wait too see if Romeu is any different. Modric is the easy way out really, but theirs no way I'd want us handing £40 million over to Sp*ds. It just frustrates me to know that we're been given these ridiculous figures and Real Madrid just get Ozil and Sahin at some unbelievable value. Maybe we could get both Pjanic and Marin at half the price of Modric... Still want Luka though, let's hope Tottenham break this farcical stance soon because can't be bothered to wait until the last day. You know that there just trying to squeeze as much as they can for him, he's by far their better player and I rate Van Der Vaart to be their second best. Not that overrated Bale.
