The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 would modric want to follow jose? im not so sureGood point, but he seemed happy enough to come here not too long ago and there's no Alonso here. He's still made 39 appearances this season too so it's not been that bad for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 To push for the league we need at least one new midfielder, in the mould of Modric. He's proven in this league and might be available which puts him ahead of the likes of Moutinho and Benat in my opinion.Then we need a new striking option, although I'd be inclined to go for someone who can be third-choice and also contribute on the wings. That could be Moses.Beyond that it's mainly buying for the future, although if a top-class CB did become available then we should move for him but that's an issue we might have a year to solve. Then there's the likes of Shaw.But we need to appoint a manager first and he needs to assess the squad. Quite don't understand why so many here think so. If there is a CM at Real Madrid that might follow Mourinho i would guess it will be Xabi Alonso. He has refused to sign a contract extension with Madrid and his contract expires in 2014, unlikely but he could move in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry you took it that way, but the idea of Alonso joining Chelsea is a bit far-fetched.Modric just seems far more likely to me considering our past relationship with him.

Mainly because as i said rumors are that he will not sign a contract extension and Mourinho relationship with him is arguably better then any other player on Madrid squad. You seem to write off the possibility just because of his connection with Liverpool. It might be cliche but there is no loyalty in football anymore, and it doesn't get noted much but supporters have no loyalty toward players either, seen countless times club legends get scapegoated toward their end of their career. But i digress, Modric had no problem whoring himself to us when he was a spurs player, Torres handed a transfer request on the eve of the transfer window, and Joe Cole a self proclaimed lifelong Chelsea fan had no shame joining Liverpool. I am using a few example, but not sure why is it so laughable and while considering Liverpool is just another employee and not even his schoolboy club or something like that. Modric is more unlikely mainly due to the uncertainty surrounding Alonso future, highly doubt they would attempt to sell Modric when Alonso is not committed beyond next season.

That's fair enough and you won't get an argument with me about players' loyalty nowadays but I just don't see it happening based on everything I know about Alonso, especially if Liverpool come in for him.Modric hasn't established himself in that Madrid team and they may choose to go in another direction which makes him a more likely option for us.

Leif 6,006 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 If we end up going for a player to cover the AM positions, I've always fancied having Diego of Wolfsburg here. He'd also add experience. I want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 IF Jose comes, we can expect a very good CB in first place. He was always 'mad' on good strikers, so probably Cavani/Falcao/etc or he could find next Milito. There is certain he will strenghten midfield. Not a DM because he worked with Mikel before and Obi was great under him. Someone along him to command game. If he will make us counter attacking team, a very fast winger will come aswell. Thats basicaly it if Mou comes. Perhaps we should just buy De Rossi to pair him with Mikel. He is great CM/DM who is experienced and is known to dictate midfield with his vision, passing and explosivness (but he wont leave Roma )ST, CM and CB should arrive in summer, cheap or expensive; they are required for next season.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 This is more of a wish list than "likely" ins and outs. Don't think we'll have any major targets before we confirm who our next manager is. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
