Luka Modric

[AndersonBLUE 819]

I agree, Sturridge still has a role here. And despite his attitude in games sometimes, I still like him. He should have at least a crack at the CF role. But going buy his appearences towards the end of the season RDM dosn't like to play him for some reason.

@CarloFan: According to A Bola, Chelsea are preparing a 50m Euro bid for Luka Modric http://t.co/mjX382je (translated)

Apparantly, A bola are saying we are preparing a £40M bid!

People saying thats too much I understand, But the market is so inflated right now that it's silly!

Downing £20m

Carroll £35m

Henderson £20m

Torres £50m

goes on and on!!

Modric would be a huge step towards challenging on all fronts IMO.

Him and Hulk would be a massive statement!

[jmarlow 458]

Modric being off to Madrid. I kinda got that already.

Now reports are coming that Roman wants to get him. What do we say then?

i cant see how i have repeated that a mil times! sounds to me that you are bitter that we missed out on him!

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

We made a 40 million pound bid last summer so we shouldnt we do it now?

I just really, really despise the fact that this would fund Tottenham for a while. Ugh, makes me sick thinking about it.

[Marvin123 484]

Hopefully AVB will take meireles off our hands too, meireles plus 25m would be great

Now THAT would be a fucking dream.

Just remember that yes, they may be able to use the huge money on players' transfer fees, but they'd still need to pay huge wages as well. They can't do that under their wage structure.

That's why I'm not as worried about paying them £35m+. They may be able to attract GOOD players, but not GREAT players like we can.

Not bitter, I saw it atleast 10 times and I was kinda annoyed.

Anyways, sorry for the spam here. I don't want Modric here. Funding those twats is not an option and especially with AVB there. More over, 40 mil. for him is way off the top. You play in Europe League mate, we are the Champions of Europe. Add to that, that we have midfielders , I don't see a point..

Yes but no matter who they buy (it's not like you can get a lot of great players with £40 million) they wouldn't have as good a team as we would have with Modric and Hulk in the team.

But they could get into the Champions League with those new players and that will give them more money, helping them into the Champions League next season. It only takes a small snowball to start a giant one.

We can't worry about that. All we need to worry about is strengthening our own squad and winning silverware with that squad.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

No thanks for Modric...If we get Modric, we will never get top class winger like Hulk.

Plus Spurs would still get 40mio for a year older player who had worst year than a season ago...

we're talking about spurs.

that's the closest to snowballing into a great European club they will ever get.

No ECL means no high profile transfers for them. we might give them money to strengthen their squad but there's no way they'll find a good enough replacement for Modric.

Funding AvB to find gems, which he can do well, is something we shouldn't take lightly!

This is perhaps the most stupid reason not to buy a player...

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Not saying we shouldn't buy him, more that we shouldn't offer stupid amount of money to a rival, with a former scout that can find diamonds in a pile of crap scenario. I think we do need to get a creative player in the middle, but it shouldn't a player costing us stupid amount as well as fudning a team on a spree. We were lucky Liverscum had no brains when they had fifty million to spend.
