Luka Modric

[themightyblue 443]

i feel that by december we will be wishing that we had signed a creative midfielder in the summer

spot on

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.

Creativity?

Creating chances. Starting up plays for attackers.

Linking up from defense to offense.

A more dictionary meaning for the role I envision Modric:

Some players prefer to set up an attack from a withdrawn position, and are often coined deep-lying playmakers, mainly because of their ability to spread play and dictate the game from a withdrawn position. Despite their deep role, they are not classed as defensive midfielders as tackling and defence are not the main function of their roles, and they may have to be supported by a holding midfielder.

Deep-lying playmakers are typically given a moderate amount of defensive responsibilities, but are granted freedom positionally to dictate the play as it evolves, as well as a license to attempt long riskier balls, to the forwards.

The essential attributes of a deep-lying playmaker include:

• Good long passing ability, to play balls towards forwards and wingers. Crossfield wangers are typically attempted from deep when the opposing full back is drawn towards the middle and there is an open channel in the flank for the on rushing winger.
  
• Stamina, to cover large distances in professional football. In the top football leagues, a midfielder covers upwards of 10 kilometres per game.
  
• Short passing ability. Although many deep-lying playmakers have natural talent and creativity, they are expected to play short simple passes when deep in their half to avoid the possibility of a counter-attack. They are however given some degree of freedom in playing long passes deep into opposition territory.
  
• Creativity/Vision. The deep-lying playmaker needs to spot openings and opportunities to build up play.
  
• A good and sure first touch to control the ball when receiving passes under sustained opposition pressure.

Could've used a Modric in the league this season.

He wanted to join us, it was Levy who made him stay against his will. Do some research, you're embarassing yourself...
