WELL SAID - come on guys - stop dragging this off-topic WE ARE ALL CFC FANS - regardless of nationality, race, geographic location - let's just ALL agree to disagree and keep this thread on Modric. It's good that we have such passion from Season Ticket holders and DEDICATED overseas people - who judging by some of the time-zones - are massively inconvenienced by watching Chelsea matches on TV. Both Domestic + International TV Rights help fill the CFC coffers and allow us to have a great team with great supporters. Yes, some of the comments have been insensitive and stupid - NONE OF YOU need to prove you are a bigger fan - WE ARE ALL FANS - otherwise we wouldn't be here Excepting the odd troll of course... Anyway, back to boring ole' work now - but please - let this be the end of the personal attacks - and I don't mind either way if we got Modric, if he comes I will, like all other CFC players, support him 100% - because he's one of us then! M...

Agreed, they are still so jealous He worked out better than Nasri or Fabregas - poor old Arse fans, 5k week lol

Guys CHILL out - everybody.... Text on forums, like email is 'subjective' how one person reads it, Is different to how other people read it! We're all CFC fans and not everybody can agree. Scoring cheap points off each other IS NOT a good way to be, we need a blend of opinions on here and some you may / may not agree with - but lets keep the flame wars down please! I'm not offended by the post and I have zero chance this year of attending SB. It doesn't make me any less of a fan, or an 'forum expert' - I'm certainly no Ray Wilkins. So let's all learn to live together, it would be a pretty poor form if we all agreed with each other - like the Prawn Sandwich Brigade So deep breath, relax and back on topic :)

I also don't get why everybody says he AVB is a tactical genius? Some of his decisions at Chelsea seemed bizarre and instead of using all of the tools at his disposal he sulked like a little kid (immature) and only played those he liked! That's not professional or tactically adept? I think plenty of Spurs boys will be leaving and we should look at Modric and definitely Walker - maybe in VDV as a squad player and loan them Lukaku as man city deal for Adebeyaor looks like falling through...

Lol cheers for the replies indeed Gruss Got or Servus Yeah Austria is cold in Winter but 34+ in summer it's madness! I live right next to the Untersburg mountain and sitting on the top of that with a beer is awesome There is an English shop in town, but like you said papers a day old and way overpriced This place is better than any paper though Can't wait to wear my new Chelsea shirt with the little gold star to work - just have to wait for a dress down day

Man u tabled a 20 million bid for him according to The Times... We should get in there for 25mil - I prefer him to Modric even tho unproven in Prem... I also think Modric is full of shite, if he had wanted to join us lat year, why didn't he this year, especially as we are now European champs!!!

Ouch - at least another 2 week wait according to that article... In Thunderbirds a lot happens in 5 minutes - God knows what will happen in 2 weeks!!!

Hallo, servus! Berlin a bit far, but if you ever in Salzburg give us a shout can grab a beer and match Unfortunatey I only speak dialect (Bavarian/Austrian) but your English looks great

Hey everybody! Great forum - been lurking a while then thought why not join! Getting English papers here impossible so use this place as my daily Chelsea digest! Some great convo's I was lucky to get a corporate ticket to Munich well 2 actually and flew my younger bro over to watch! What a night! I have aged 10 years, got drunk on non-alcoholic beer and kept the misses waiting for hours - told her it would only be 90 min match, she went to a restaurant - oops!!!

Yup, injuries and loss of form are a nightmare for any player! He is class though and will definitely improve - still think he will turn out the bargain of the xfer window

+1 Happy for Chelsea sad for him, can't wait for Pre-season

Agree - a modern Tony Daly is how I see Theo... Just no consistent end product.... Unless, he has very bad coaching at Arsenal? If he was my player he would be sprinting and then crossing 90% of his training, building memory muscle and learning to hit a sixpence in the box If he could do that, he would be awesome

+1 For a good squad player his arrogance is astounding... I actually feel a little sorry for Arsene, he is a good manager but the club lack ambition and he is scared of making big purchases... I'm also glad though as like the spuds, I'm hoping Arsenal become a diminishing force... I bet the goners (typo? ) rue the day Dein left.... I would have RVP though, more depth and breadth to the squad and experience and ex-players always score against old clubs (Glen J) so he's worth at least 2 games a year

Hmm I for one will be sad if we don't sign him. Fact: he has been one of the most consistent players over the past years. Ok he had a wobbler against Bale - but he probably thought who's Bale? And didn't take it seriously, best thing to happen to a defender, now he knows to research his opposition and make sure the doesn't happen again. Who can also forget JT being skinned alive against Liverpool? JT made Carroll look world class that day, does that mean JT is a bad player - No!!! I worked with SI Games the guys who make Football Manager, and currently the guys making FIFA, whilst stats are one thing in games - everybody knows experience is crucial... Maicon would be great for a few seasons and really help blood the youngsters it's a win win for everybody - and do a Man City, keep him as a coach afterwards, kinda hoping Drogba comes back after China too, to do the same thing

Hmm I work with some Croations and they are saying this is rubbish? They said reports were linking him to everybody last week and it's more likely his Agent trying to push the price (and his fee) north of 40mill euros... If the price is in euros we should definitely wait on making signings as the euro is going to tank soon - general consensus here in Austria where rumours are they are redesigning the Shilling and Germany the 'mark....

Hi All, New here - but have been lurking for a while... I see the Olympics as a positive thing, Hulk will be in London, close to Chelsea and for once hopefully the country will be in a positive mood! Having recently relocated to Salzburg, the area you are living in does weigh heavily in your choice to move! I think too many people don't realise how hard it is to pick up your family and globetrot - sure he earns in a week what I earn in a year, but even a big bank balance doesnt mean happiness.... So staying positive and hoping we get him and Maicon
