Luka Modric

[capriccioso 2,545]

Sell Raul,Essien,Malouda and Bennayoun and use the money to get Modric?

raul-10 to 15m

Essien-5m to 8m

Malouda-6m to 8m

Bennayoun- 4m to 6m

Though I doubt Spurs would sell him for 25m.Anyways lets sell some players before signing another major talent.

Essien could still fetch 10-15 if he shows some form in pre-season and we dress him up as "World class African midfielder whose completely recovered from injuries and has 3 years to run on his contract". Benayoun won't go for much more than 1-2 million.

I can only see one of the Italian teams paying £10-15 million for him as the Italian league will be suited to his slow and ageing legs

OMG we need him badly!!!!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He showed some nice touches (kind of Messi style), but he is far from impressive in match. Croatia should play on him, but he gets barely to the ball.

Also he plays more attacking, than CM, where we need a player. He is more Mata, while we need someone like Martinez.

Why can't he play in the double pivot role where Lampard is playing?

Mikel-Modric

Hulk-Mata-Hazard

Someone who can score!!!

We can't keep buying a couple of world-class players for every position. We have some excellent young talents who play in that double pivot role like Romeu, Josh, and De Bruyne. We already have two great players there in Frank and Mikel and a few good reserves. Signing Modric means letting go of our youngsters.

Josh and De Bryune might not be ready for another 3 seasons!

Romeu....not so sure about him, i think he will go back to Barcelona.

Frank is one his last few years. Modric seems like the perfect replacement for Lampard to me.

Signing Modric seems like common sense to me, because we lack creativity in the midfield.

How did you come up with three seasons? Why not two or four?

With youngsters you can't know until they are given a proper chance with the team. We can't let this great generation of youngsters go to waste.

I'm this is not directed towards you personally, but I've had it with people talking about "creativity". Can you define it please or give me examples of creativity?

No it doesn't it isn't always that black and white.

4 defenders with Mikel wont be always enough to defend us, Mikel and Martinez would be much better, that would mean Hazard, Mata, Hulk and Torres can concentrate on attack and not returning all the time. Yes, Modric would be fantastic (for 25mio max) but I wonder if that will be enough balanced team.
