KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't think we could even sell Essien. Which team would want him? It would be great if we shipped out Meireles and Essien. It would free up the space for a CM but the more I think about it the more I think we are not going to get a CM. It seems RW and RB is our priority. That would still be a fantastic transfer window for any team. Lampard and Mikel should do just fine. We can always adress the CM problem in January or next summer.

Marvin123 537 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Is really confusing one this is! I'm hoping sturridge is wanted by AVB and we can use this to our advantage! Maybe we are putting together a sturridge plus cash deal and Moses is to replace studge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We had this whole saga last season and we won the UCL and FA Cup. Tottenham had the stronger squad and better players but won fuck all (again). There's no way we need top spend 30-40 million more on someone else. We maybe need a another solid midfielder in the Ballack/Lampard/Essien mould with strength and power who can attack and defend but not a player like Modric when we have Mata, Hazard and Ramires. I can't see what this transfer at that price will achieve.Let him go to Spain. zolayes and LondonPride1905 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Selling Sturridge would only be counter productive. We'd then not only have to buy a RW, RB, (possibly a CM), but also a striker. I hope we hang onto him. Even though he has only one year left on his contract, I think if he gets opportunities as a CF, he'll sign a new deal and stay with us. If by some chance Twattenham wants Sturridge and we're prepared to let him go (hopefully not) then we should definitely demand a Player + Cash deal for Modric otherwise they can fuck right off.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 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.

Bigthrobberus 8 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 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 £20mCarroll £35mHenderson £20mTorres £50mgoes on and on!!Modric would be a huge step towards challenging on all fronts IMO.Him and Hulk would be a massive statement!

Pizy 18,952 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I just really, really despise the fact that this would fund Tottenham for a while. Ugh, makes me sick thinking about it.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.

LondonPride1905 236 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 i cant see how i have repeated that a mil times! sounds to me that you are bitter that we missed out on him!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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 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...

It only takes a small snowball to start a giant one.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.
