Luka Modric

[yuvala 2,167]

De Rossi - Modric would be orgasmic.

Is it necessary to actually play with a DM ?

[nono 791]

He wanted to come to us but Tottenham would rather he go to Madrid for lesser money. What good did it do for them ? Perennial 5th to 6th place is their destiny.

[LucienDillonCFC 77]

Van Ginkel & Modric in midfield like someone said before would be pretty beasty, I think we have a good pairing also in maybe Ramires & D.Luiz also!!

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

I really hope this transfer comes through.

I WOULD have liked to have seen Oscar/KDB given that central role, but this is just too good to pass up, if we are in fact looking for his signature. Modric is a little magician in midfield, and it would shoot us right towards title contenders no doubt about it, if this came through. No more Rambo as the be all and end all in midfield as we'd finally have a proper DLP And in fact I think this gives our team the felxibility to play a 433 if we decide to give Mata a break (Lord knows he needs one)

----------------Ba/Torres/Lukaku--------

Hazard/Schurle--------------KDB/Moses

--------Oscar/KDB----------Rambo/Modric

-------------------Romeu/Mikel------------

That looks epic to me. Don't know bout y'all.

Or in regular 4231, just imagine a double pivot of Romeu and Modric......................(it's ok if you feel funny in your pants)

Depends on what you mean by that?

Do we need an actual Defensive midfielder ala Mikel?

No, but if we don't have one we need players who contribute to the defence in some way. And are more Box to box type, who will go back and put effort in om both ends of the pitch.

It's not necessary. But i think we would be better with one.

Someone big strong in there to sit there alongside a good DLP would me my ideal combination, and should provide a much more efficent transition from defence to attack.

No Mata?

It's not necessary. You can play with 11 strikers if you want, but if you wish to win then you will need a DM especially if you have players like Mata and Hazard in your team who don't really contribute much to the defense.

[edenhazard17 281]

No Mata?

Allow me

let go of that dream guys ..

Real Madrid will reportedly block any attempts Mourinho makes to take Khedira, Modric or Lopez with him to Chelsea. #CFC (Evening Standard)

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Thank god no mention of di maria there.

[Hutcho 8,443]

If we buy schurrle which looks really likely, i doubt we will buy di maria as well.

I have been sayin this for ages, but people didnt believe when I said Madrid wouldnt sell any first team player to Mourinho...

Modric, Khedira, Lopez, Marcelo, etc, wont even be considered to be allowed to follow Jose. However, Coentrao, Kaka, Di Maria and Higuain are players Real really want to sell, so I think they would accept a good offer from anyone (including Chelsea).

Modric is the only want I want. Wouldn't even take the other if they let me fist them.

Sorry, didn't see that.
