Joe Cole could be a decent playmaker.

Good choise but I prefer VDV....

Lamps isn't playmaker maybe he can play on that positon for a 10 games but not for hole season...

[chrismada9 1,948]

Van der Vaart isn't a playmaker is he??

I thought he was more of an attacker than a playmaker :mellow:

[chrismada9 1,948]

Yes, but you do like the way he scores, I know I do, just look at the one he scored for Porto against us 4 years ago

Diego is a quality player, but I think VdV would be more suited to our formation.

yes bit maybe Ballack is too similar to VDV and maybe Michael would be great now when he is back

The Blues are reported to maka an offer on Croatian star Luka Modrić.

Chelsea boss Avram Grant is said to be trying to lure young Modrić into signing for the Blues. Although their bid of £20m in January was rejected, Chelsea are hoping that Webster Ruling might aid them in landing the Croatian star in the summer. The ruling allows player udner the age of 28 to buy out their contract if they are at the club for 4 years. With Modrić's manager and also Dinamo Zagreb’s executive vice-president Zdravko Mamić wanting a large sum of money for Dinamo's top star, Chelsea could use the fact that Modric could buy out his remaining contract for £1.5 next January.

Chelsea boss Avram Grant has thrown his hat into an already crowded ring of managers interested in Dinamo Zagreb star Luka Modric.

His £20m price-tag put off the Blues in January, but they could be planning a summer swoop.

The Blues hope that the ‘Webster Ruling’, which enables players under the age of 28 to buy out their contract after four years at a club, will come to their aid.

Modric is known to covet a move to Barcelona and claimed to have snubbed a possible move to Arsenal previously.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Newcastle United were monitoring the situation last month before agent Zdravko Mamic - also Dinamo Zagreb’s executive vice-president - deemed Modric not for sale.

The player signed an unprecedented 10-year contract at Zagreb late last year, in order to inflate his transfer value. However, Andy Webster’s infamous Fifa article 17 could mean that Modric could buy out his remaining contract for £1.5 next January.

With that in mind, Chelsea’s possible £10m bid in the summer could be reluctantly accepted by the Croatian club.

Chelsea are yet to make contact with the 22-year-old midfield ace. Sources suggest that Grant’s confidante Giovanni Rosso, a Croatian who spent time with Grant in Israel, has sounded out Modric on behalf of the London club.

Having MOdric at the end of season would be great

He is a good player with a bright future ahead of him so we should snap him up immediately. He is going to be the long-term successor to Lampard and the sooner we snap him up before either one of Milan clubs or Madrid get him or his price doubles.
