Ok so we have started pre season and in an ideal world I would have liked to have done our in and out deal by now but can't be helped.i no best pleased about 2 summers in a row mod is centre of attention AGAIN. He want to go fine..... Time to put a dead line on the deal to who ever wants him ie Madrid.... Say Friday if our valuation is no met by Friday that's it all deals off....not only that as its so public who ever we try to replace him with their valuation goes up
My view

The problem with ade is that he aint a lone striker. He likes to run channels and thus has so many assists to his name in spurs colours. For 10 m he is arguably the best we can get and i reckon we can snap him up. The quality of our midfield and the chances we create are immense so i think a nmice finisher would do weell
P.s if madrid dont offer 40m dont sell modric

The is absolutely no chance that you will get anywhere near £40 million for Modric. I think £20 million is a fair price for a attacking midfielder who doesn't score goals or create chances.

Gooner is back again !!!

Agree3 Disagree1

Vdv is an attacking midfielder you moron, modric is a playmaker. How many goals did arshevin, Walcott and rosizki score. Half a dozen at most, with not many more assists. Different positions. For the last time, for all the cretins out there, modric is a midfield playmaker, hr controls the midfield, dictates the pace of a game. He makes his team tick. We have bale, vdv, Lennon , they supply the assists. Just cis a bloke don't score, doesn't make him worthless.
Buffon 50mill
Ferdinand 30mill
De Jong at city, all quality, don't score
I rest my case

Agree0 Disagree2

You don't have to score or create to be worth a decent fee. Stupid thing to post. Typical gooner
Every decent prem team have a player that dictates the pace. When modratt effs off then we will find another

Agree0 Disagree0

Ade is a poor mans Peter crouch please levy do not buy!!! Spend this money elsewhere

Joe Allen ...... Why are we not being linked with Him as modrics replacement ... I know other people have mentioned Him already hell ive mentioned him a lot ....
1. Cheaper than mutiniho
2. Younger
3. Pl exp
4. Stats show how good a passer he is up there with modric already
5. Even if we took the £27m RM are apparently not budging on we could still be left with an extra 12-15 m to throw at Llrois transfer or a striker ... And kill 2 birds with one fat stack of money
May just be me being dillusional
But to be honest I'd rather not spend 30 m
On mutiniho even if he was great in the euros ...

Joe Allen is better than both Modric and Moutinho. If he was Spanish or Dutch, fans would rate him higher. {Ed008's Note - Is this guy drunk/high ?

Agree5 Disagree3

I think I mentioned him a while ago, more of a long term replacement though as he is still improving but can become a cracking wee player in my opinion. I do have to agree with ed that that guy is on something, although I do get his point, though I'd add english to the list ( *cough* *cough* wiltshire )

Get lost with joe Allen......he's on par with our youngster Tom Carroll

This probably won't happen, but i was wondering if we should sign two keepers this transfer window? Jack Butland, a young promising keeper who just needs a few more years and he is ready. I say buy him now and loan for 3 years. Cudicini is close to a deal with watford and Friedel has about 1 year left. Craig Gordon, good keeper and only a FREE. He could challenge with Friedel this year and go main for 2 years after or Battle with Butland. Therefore we have Butland main and challenger Gordan as sub keeper. Thoughts?

I quite like this idea although i think butland is ready now, yes he is young but some of his recent performances have been superb, probably the next joe hart or even better

FFS mr Levy, just bloody sell modric! stop playing hard ball just accept the £35 mill from Real get Moutinho in for pre season and lets get the club moving forward! getting deja vu from the berba deal over this one!

Believable1 Unbelievable0

If they where offering 35 I think he would take it.
Trouble is, apparently, their max is 27.
If true, what can DL do

Agree1 Disagree1

If carroll is worth 35 mil then who can blame levy for holding out for same amount for modric. now hes gone awol, refusing to traqvel to states, stick him in reserves and let him rot, oh if only we had the money to do such a deed, nice to dream

Agree0 Disagree0

Poster the fact of the matter is a replacement we are looking at would
Cost us more than we'd get for modric ... RM are offering 27m and Porto want 30m for mutiniho .... Even if there was a slight chance we'd sell modric and get mutiniho when we thought it was 35-40m there is no chance in hell we will spend all the money from a transfer and then some if so I would be queit annoyed why the hell do we need to spend that much money .... Look at Newcastle they go and get someone as good as cabaye for what ? 4.5-5 ish m ??
We need to think sensibly we don't have the money to go and splurge on one player for them to turn around and be horrific in the BPL ....
Bear yid

The point is he doesn't want to play for us and wants to go to Real, so why try to keep him? Got loads of respect for the guy for not sulking about and being a team player last season when he could of just sat on bench or played in the reserves! Will he do that for another season? He didn't get on the plane so that's a no then! I just want to see new signing having time to settle in the team and no more of this last minute.com we have had over the last couple of windows! Let's get them in get them settled in our style of play and really start the season as we mean to go on!

i think it's about time the oracle is banned from this site. normally i don't mind people speculating but the way he speculates is making me crazy. when i read the journalistic wannabe-factual style that he attempts to employ i find myself doubting even the most reliable scientific news articles :P

spurs should get ledley king to coach our CB's especially the youngsters and get some of them as good as he was !!

in my opinion ade would be a good signing but there are the likes of huntellar and even someone like demba ba would be a real goal threat for us, spurs already have coulibaly a youngstar who looks very promising but we just kneed a goal scorer!! we keed to finish all the chances !!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I say go all out for the parts we need from Newcastles squad ...
Gk - krul
Cm - cabaye to replace modric
ST- cisse
Lw/Rw/lm/rm - Ben arfa
With those players in our squad surely we'd be unstoppable ?

Agree1 Disagree1

Got 200million spare cash floating about like?
