I've read so much crap in here stating modric this, modric that.
DL has backed himself into a corner apparently.
Look, Madrid don't offer enough, modric stays, end of!
The only one in a corner is modric.
He will get fined, heavily
We do not need to sell him
It is not a hoillet or van Persie situation.
He as 4 years left at spurs.
If the valuation is not met, he will have to stay.
The modric and tevez affairs last summer tels you it is not all plate power.
Levy is not in a corner, I just wih some of you get thu into your head.
If madrid don't stump up, then he is a spurs player next season.

Jeez

Levy may not be in a corner, but does he need to burden a new manager with this ... Sometimes it is better to cut and run for the greater good and keep the momentum going forward rather than have this distraction.

Agree4 Disagree2

My only worry mate is because madrid don't need him, they can not bother to make a sensible offer. Modric meanwhile continues to act out, making his position untenable. Come August 31st, let's say Modric is on full-blown strike, Madrid come back with a ridiculously low offer like 27 million or something and we have to take it to get the bad influence out of the club. Last year he settled down after the window but I'm not so sure this time. Apologies for being negative but it's just what I'm worried will happen. If we sell him we need time to find a replacement and if that happens on deadline day suddenly we're the desperate ones and someone like porto (also notoriously tough negotiators) can overcharge us for someone like moutinho. I'm hoping this won't happen, but this is very much a worst-case scenario

Agree0 Disagree1

Some good points from the above poster bearing in mind the dramas that avb had at chelsea could this have a knock on effect with some of the other unsettled players ie players that feel they are being priced out of a move .
also on top of that would it be better to cash in now giving the club the freedom to pursue their targets freely.
im sure many fans are expecting some big signings, dont forget the transfer market has been slow but that will change when teams acquire there targets and release their excess players very few of the big teams as done much biz at this stage

I'd say sell modric for 35+. Replace him with either Joe Allen or Younis Belhanda. Moutinho looks too expensive unless we have that 100 million rumored warchest. If all else fails give Bentley a go in the middle. He doesnt have the pace for the wing but could be a really good center mid. His incredible goals came from the middle. Then I'd go after Moussa Sissoko and Jack Butland. Finish with a few strikers. Sturridge, Sinclair maybe, and Huntelaar. I'd like Lukaku but I doubt Chelsea will sell. Keep Gio.

Good idea. Problem is you won't get £35 million for Modric.

........and id say im glad you are not the Spurs manager..
Super Y*d

No, not even close. But I have an opinion.

Modric is worth £15-18 mil max!

This striker stuff from chelsea does make me laugh why do you all think chelsea would sell any players to you when DL dug his heels in last season and blocked rat boy moving to chelsea and winning the champions league and fa cup

After reading today modric skipped back to croatia, let him rot, according to avb levy wife ill and thats why he goes to america. to me thats why transfers arnt progressing as quickly as poss, and modric, ws brought to the lime light by us, let him rot over their longs its a daily fine as being spoken. we all love thfc and signings and wins make us all smile, but at this time, levy moaners get of the blokes back as loved ones are always more important than football

Ratface situ same as Berbasulk. Both great players but nobody wanted them until we made made them stars. He will go off to Real and disappear as he will be a small fish in a Mega pool. Swap him for Van Persie HeHe.

So With Ade not set to sign for a £3m paycut, (which would still leave him on about £5m a season
+ bonus' + signing fee + goal bonus' + appearence bonus, prob in the region of £150,000k a week)
I say leave the money grabber alone for that sort of wage we could sign an out n out goal scorer. not sure who now tho', as nothing seems to be happening. All efforts seem to be concentrated on ModRats exit. Which will happen soon i think, given that he has allegedly refused to train to force a move to RM. I personally think that we should sell him to the highest foreign bidder whoever that is, as long as the offer is in the area of £28-32m.
Leave Ade to rot in the Shi**y reserves.
Spend all the income from ModRat + a bit extra on 2 strikers, Strurridge is one I would like, young pacey and knows where the goal is, + 1 other maybe Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield might be worth a punt as a back up striker with defoe.
Then drop VDV into ModRats role.
Just my opinion as I think we need to start being realistic about who want to sign and who we will sign. Would love to see the like of Hulk, Falcao, Moutinho, Ganso, and every other player linked with us but this is not going to happen, but i think with 1-2 shrudd signing it will be a very interesting season for us at the WHL.

Poss teams to start at newcastle depending on formation

4-3-3

Friedel, Walker, Vert, Kaboul, BAE

Sandro, VDV(Capt), Siggie,

Lennon, Sturridge, Bale
(If Signed)
4-3-2-1

Friedel, Walker, Vert, Kaboul, BAE

Sandro, VDV (capt), Hudd

Siggie, Bale

Sturridge(If Signed)

Subs - Gomes, Defoe, Dawson, Rhodes(if signed) Naughton, Parker, Livermore.

THFC4EVER

So what you are saying is, if we play a
4-3-3 Lennon starts but if we play a
4-3-2-1 he doesn't make the squad. That's a strange one but hey ho!

Agree2 Disagree1

Finally another spurs fan that agrees Ade is a money grabbing waste of space!

Agree0 Disagree0

VDV captain???? what happens when he goes missing from november to febuary? Fair weather player imo

sandro will not start ..olympics..sturridge will not sign please god and as it has happened for the past 2 yrs we will be in for everyone and sign nobody as usual. i dont really think vert and sig are going to dramatically improve us. need world class finisher and playmaker if the sulk goes to madrid to take us to the next level.

Believable0 Unbelievable5

We won't sign vorm. We won't sign hulk. I take it we are selling vdv and modric.
Modric is going no where at moment. The only way a deal will be done is if a RM player comes in return.
So that player woul be in the squad too, not carvalho tho, he had already been told he can go on a free, do he won't be in modric deal.

Agree1 Disagree2

I assume this is just your opinion and not based on any facts.
My opinion is, we won't sign vorm, loris may be our keeper signing, if anyone.
Hulk will not be coming.
Modric situation will be getting dragged out, so I can't see moutinho joining just yet

Agree1 Disagree0

Vdv is not leaving and there is no saying who we might buy so stop with all the negative talk

Agree1 Disagree0

Negative talk or being a realist as a spurs fan. I hope you are right, hulk would tear the prem defences to pieces but, as a spurs fan, I'm more realistic, so Moses and Owen it is lol

Hey ed's, just wandering if you could give us an update on who we are looking at right now for modders replacement, possible keepers and strikers (been away for a while and so totally out the loop) Thanks :)

I meant more of a what is actually happening in reality, not every piece of speculation people made up. I've heard all sorts of insane stuff just wandering if anything much has really changed since everything went quiet a week or so ago.
