OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nah, hes nothing more than a normal human. Nothing special about him, sorry to burst your bubble mate.Nothing special about Ramires. Ok then. Hes that average that they're are rumours Real Madrid (the supposed best team on the planet) want him.. ok nothing special mate. He won't go anyway because hes not stupid enough to go be the future of Real in like 3 years anyway.You do realise they bought the two most expensive football players of all time, in Kaka and Ronaldo, right? Using Madrid as an example is not going to help your cause.Totally agree. Madrid started the big spending off tbh, they bought Zidane and Figo for about 40 million euros each in like 2003.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So I really don't see no problem. Modric will only be taking Lampard place.We can never get another Lampard that will do 20 plus goals.But we first would need to sell Meireles, because Meireles is our squad player that takes over Lampard.With Meireles gone and Modric in, Modric will be the main man, and Lampard will take the Meireles role.I'd say you've got that pretty much spot on mate. The only real trouble is getting Levy to sell to us, which, based on everything i've read/been told is very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give me all the little cheap sources to supply your statement, but there is no relevent proof that we want of his services, NOT ONE.

Zinedine Iniesco 172 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I thought the whole reason for a double pivot is for one to do all the defensive duty like Mikel, and the other to do some light defensive duty but main priority to start plays from defense to attack?So I really don't see no problem. Modric will only be taking Lampard place.We can never get another Lampard that will do 20 plus goals.In fact that Lampard today is shit in his old role, and therefore had to revert to a deep lying play maker role to help extend his game.So at 34, and having RDM who favors a double pivot role, it makes sense to get Modric in.But we first would need to sell Meireles, because Meireles is our squad player that takes over Lampard.With Meireles gone and Modric in, Modric will be the main man, and Lampard will take the Meireles role.Seems kinda cold, but that is what AVB wanted.But rush it too fast.Now is the best time to fade that in after having won the CL, and be in a prestigious position.I agree with the modric double pivot thing. Meireles should leave in that case, but the modric deal will be hard if not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Do we really need him?????Very bad question!But hey, even Ivan knows how much we need a player like him in our squad......I was thinking more of finding a cheaper option instead of making another game of goose chase for the rest of the window (which i know whasn't opened yet). So far we have been very 'mature' with our signings, and our transfer dealings, hopefully that is due to some influence from Mr Saive Robbie. I wish for more brilliant signings like Marin and Kevin who are cheap options but with bundles of talent. We got Romeu cheap, who is still a raw talent waiting to be nurtured, but just one example of a player with heaps of talent we could develop into first team starter.

Zinedine Iniesco 172 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Modric will go to chelsea if abramovich gets his wallet out.Modric to madrid rumours have been media inspired, and even more so from modric him self, as several friends of his have stated something about la liga or something.Real Madrid have showed no interest yet, when we get someone it will be a sure swoop deal, as with callejon and sahin, and varane. No controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just putting it out there...roman likes to spend money. So all that stuff about 'it's not football manager' is stupid. If the club are comfortable with spending that much then go for it as they know best. As a fan, I care about how Chelsea can move to the next level and that's what modric will help us doThis summer was always gonna end up being a big spending one due to the fact we let too much deadwood stay and didnt rebuild correctly. So yes to modric from me Justin_3d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinedine Iniesco 172 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 You would rather them 4? Pity you'll get none of them as "Sahin is the future" and he will play instead. Oh wait....Lets talk about modric now please, your statements are uneducated and thus invalid so don't expect me to ever take you seriously other than for entertainment.Or until i find you worthy.MODRIC PLEASE.

LondonPride1905 236 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 You think handing in a piece of paper would have changed that cunt Levy's mind? I think not. This is no fault of Luka's. Actually handing that piece shows that he has principles first. Second, he never handed in a transfer request, that was a rumour, believe me. Third, if I am not mistaken , by law if the transfer request is rejected, you have the power to take things to court for not being able to have any rights on your own future as a player. It is half Levy, half Luka's fault. Luka should have handed in the request, first. Second, ffs, how the hell can you be unhappy and then next week play your heart out for the team that won't let you leave and fulfill your goals, objectives, w/e. That shows that he actually just wanted to play Champions League and probably had an agreement with Harry for this season to have the CL they want. Doubt it;s exactly that, but something like this is quite possible. I don't see why people are so stubborn for Modric though. Why do we need him? We are not creative with having Lamps, Mikel, Hazard and Mata? We don't even see them play. I would actually prefer us getting Hulk, because he can fill 2 spots, but that's another story. Besides, Luka is an unique player, but I don't see us throwing money, over positions we are stuffed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky 301 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 LOVE!! Maybe it's because it's the off-season or because of the general youth of most of the posters, but the amounts being theoretically spent on this board are absolutely insane.When you have someone declaring that we should offer £60 million or Modric you just know its time to say something.For me they seem to forget that we are talking about people. Everytime we bid for a player it has a direct impact on our existing squads morale. What do you think Josh, Romelu and Lamps are thinking?Sign up Hulk (if reasonable) and a young RB and I honestly don't see us needing to splash the cash for years. Assembled a very capable bunch of youngsters now, looking great for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky 301 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yes we do like it or not. Our most creative central holding midfielder is Romeu, a Barca B playerDescribing a 19 year old as Barca B is harsh, he moved not because of a lack of ability but because of a realization that his playing time was going to be limited given he is competing with arguable the best midfield of all time.About time we showed some faith in our youth, got an awful lot of talent which could go to waste if we splash another £40 million on a player.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You do realise they bought the two most expensive football players of all time, in Kaka and Ronaldo, right? Using Madrid as an example is not going to help your cause.I'm not using Real Madrid as an ideal situation. Real Madrid along with Barcelona, Chelsea,City, and to some extent Liverpool are the cause of this problem. I was just pointing out how even teams that spend enormously rarely spend like you people seem to want Chelsea to spend this summer. Eden Hazard is one of the most expensive transfers in history and people are acting as if Chelsea haven't done anything yet. We've already spent more this transfer period than all but 4 teams in the Premier League spent in all of 2011-2012. You don't have to buy the biggest name at every position to compete and long-term this strategy is disastrous and it creates a never-ending cycle of overspending. The inability to put a proper plan in place, the inability to find or even look for any value in the transfer market is why Chelsea have spent over a billion Euros and still have major holes in the team. I'm just so sick of the "hey, he looks good, let's go spend 25M pounds on him" stuff that dominates here. There's no feeling for football as a game, for footballers as people, for building a sustainable system, for looking for value, it's just a bunch of people treating Chelsea like a videogame for building their dream team. termninja, Spike, royg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't control the scouting networks nor how much we pay for players. It is only human nature to want the best and be greedy. The thing is, if we are spending big, how is it like a videogame? It is happening in real life thus it becomes our reality. Buying Hulk and Cabaye etc is hardly a dream team is it? It's just the players needed to strengthen our team to make it one of the best in Europe. Buying Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldo, Neymar etc is building a dream team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalouda 23 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I don't see a reason to buy him. We have De Bruyne, Mata, Hazard, Mikel, Lampard and Ramires. They are all just fine. Modric is good player, but very expensive. He didn't came last summer, and from that time we buy Mata, Hazard and De Bruyne.There is always McEachran and Lucas Piazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisho 33 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think we NEED modric or a player like modric.McEachran, De bruyne, Lucas Piazon still need atleast another 2-3 years to develop and lampard is 34 and needs to be used sparingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
