As a chelsea fan i was just curious if you guys want modric to be sold. please comment i would love to hear what you have to say

Believable1 Unbelievable14

Do you want Terry, Lampard, Drogba or Torres to be sold? Course you don't so why would we want to sell one of our best players to one of our main rivals. Sorry mate but what a stupid question. He's not for sale what don't you understand about that?

Agree0 Disagree0

I would like to see him sold... for 30 mil abroad with a clause that says they cant sell him to an english club within 3 years. then we can play vdv and sandro in the middle with 2 strikers OR krancjar and sandro with vdv off 1 striker. reinvest the 30 mil in a striker

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you will find people 50/50 on him leaving and not meaning to sound rude but 100 % don't want him going to yourselves
Everybody would rather a loss on him going abroad than him being sold to you or another EPL team ...
Bear Yid

Personally £35m + Sturridge is a done deal for me but ideally No, he does influence games and is a quality player.

Although I also see these sums of money as astronomical... but that seems to be football these days I think there is life after modders and Sturridge is a cert for England very soon, I rate his potential. I also feel we can and will cope without Modric but for now he is an integeral part of the team. IF and its a BIG if we get Mata, then I couldnt agree a better deal, Modric for Sturridge and £30-35M but only if Mata is ours before the sale...

I am however dissapointed in the fact that he wants to jump ship so soon after failing for the CL after what really was a very good season for us. With commitment could be again very soon in my eyes...

foxspur

Agree0 Disagree0

When he was trowing his toys out the pram i wanted him ta be sold but that hes keeping his mouth shut now i dont want him to be sold cause it cud lead to other players leaveing in jan or even dis window

Agree0 Disagree0

Whole heartly agree with foxspur..

Flippit

Agree0 Disagree0

Its a hard one, if Modric isnt going to give 100% (I dont think he will give 100%) then I would be happy to see him go for around £35+ million. It is completely pointless keeping an unhappy player. We could then invest that money in a top class striker which we desperatley need.

Agree0 Disagree0

For me, anyone that isnt 100% behind the club can go, if he wants away then get rid of him, for the right price though

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea will never pay more than 30m and won't swap someone with him its pointless we should just keep him

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea do want torres to be sold as he is pants, of coarse u lot dont want modric sold hes a class act, but he wants out big style

Agree0 Disagree0

Modrics suppoedly accepted he's not moving and is acting professionally. It does appear that Chelsea tried to turn his head so first we should not be seen to give in to that kind of thing and second we should keep our best players
Ultimately should we decide to sell Modric in a future window we should point blank refuse to sell him to Chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

Swap him for torres

Diarra is in Manchester - shopping. . . Llorente is sipping champagne and thinking about all the lolly he'll be earning at city too

Believable4 Unbelievable11

Yeah cos city need to add another striker to add to the 6 or so they already have.

Agree0 Disagree0

I can foresee many problems at city, too many star players with big egos.
they can only play 11 at 1 time, which is gonna cause friction in the squad.
plus they have the c/l fixtures to contend with, which may effect their p/l campaign

Agree0 Disagree0

My oh my this is frustrating, 10 days remaining till kick off and still no sign of that predator.
I still have hope that damaio/ Osvaldo and rossi will sign for spurs. Azza

Believable4 Unbelievable6

Rossi is staying where he is, it was in the Sunday papers, try and keep up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well it looks like 'MITH' was wrong. No negredo

Believable10 Unbelievable4

31 Jul 2011 23:25:49
Just re-iterating my thoughts as the time draws closer :-

The player that will be unveiled will
be Alvaro Negredo on Tuesday 2nd August.

Gio will be going the other way but not until
his 10% clause with Barcelona runs out
(Monday 1st August)reportedly.

Then
Hutton to Villa

Crouch/Keane sold on the cheap (£10 mill
between them) to fund a bid for.....

Llorente

MITH - Tuesday is the day

THERES STILL TIME FOR MITH TO BE RIGHT........

flippit.

Agree0 Disagree0

The day is young

Agree0 Disagree0

It's nearly 9 on Tuesday, this hasn't happened yet. We can't buy anyone until we sell.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its Tuesday 21:06 and it looks like your feelings were well just feelings.Hope i have not hurt your ....feelings.

Agree0 Disagree0

Im excited to see who's right, Mith or Flippit? hope thats right lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Is the pressure off me now?

Top 4 Wannabe

Agree0 Disagree0

We all follow the mighty Spurs. We all stand togeather in support of our team and that team includes our fellow yids on the field AND in the terraces. There should be only be pressure on gunner scum. Anyone who gives s**t to another of our own on this site or any other for that matter just proves what an ARSEnal they truely are.

To. MITH and Top 4 Wannabe - keep the faith brothers and COYS........

Flippit.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wtf ....no one is coming ....no one

all the rumors r false ...we cant buy a ready mate striker like we want..lorentte, forlan, rossi n all
they want big money n big fees .

but my question is that y cant we buy a striker ... y we need a star ..its been two seasons n we haven't signed any..

look at hernandez ...out of nowhere only 10miln for him n he is utds main striker ....y harry n levy just search a talent instead of running behind the stars who r unrealistic ...

just get a guy who can score at least 12+ goals a season...he dosent need to be a messi

Agree0 Disagree0

Like Odemwinge?

Top 4 Wannabe

Agree0 Disagree0

Abel hernandez Palermo seydou doumbia cska Kevin Doyle wolves Amauri juve all realistic targets wasting time chasing rossi benzema and other so called linked never going to happen

Agree0 Disagree0

I'll mention a possible answer again
shane long
looks as if he'll get better and better with age , not expensive IF he does improve

Agree0 Disagree0

T4W - I like Odemwinge. Paired with Gyan I think we would have one hell of a strike force.

Flippit.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lassana diarra has arrived in london today, he will agree personal terms with spurs and undergo a medical this week. Cheers.

Believable13 Unbelievable13

02 Aug 2011 09:45:18
Glad we didnt get vucinic I don't think he would of been that good for us.

Levy and co will be trying to sort out a deal with their athletic Bilbao counterparts after the friendly at WHL this weekend. If talks are successful llorente will stay in the country to complete a medical the next week. A bid of £25m should be enough to seal the deal.

Believable10 Unbelievable8

I Would Love to see this happen as he would be on of the deadliest strikers in the English game and with Bales and Bentleys (potentially) crossing he would score a lot of goals. plus hes also got great feet and is pretty quick.

Agree0 Disagree0

You had me until the Bentley part....

Agree0 Disagree0

Come on hes had a decent pre season. dont get me wrong hes a lazy b****** but can still change a game with one cross.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope this happens ''/

Agree0 Disagree0

**********Glad we didnt get vucinic I don't think he would of been that good for us. *******

lol wtf....till now all u were saying monday vicinic is coming .yes next monday next week will be anounsed n allllll.....now that u know he has rejected u ...he isnt good enough?

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think anyone here said he wasn't good enough, I wrote the original comment and I don't think he would of been suited to our play. He rejected spurs cos he wanted to stay in Italy which is fair enough, his goal scoring record isn't the greatest and right now we need an out an out goal scorer. Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2011 09:39:59
I posted on here yday that spurs were talking to villareal for a forward but not rossi.... But for nilmar, to the person who asked for the source check out planet spurs Itk and football_agent9 on twitter.

Believable4 Unbelievable6

I also hope this happens ''/ if this rumour and llorente rumours above happen i will be very pleased llotente and nilmar big and small man once again of high qaulity like we used to have when we had bebatov and keane scorin for fun :)

Agree0 Disagree0

No way man .....i cant see this happen

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2011 01:42:59
Right, I know you will probably slate me for this as I can't give exact rumours or tell you where I got this from but :-

The reason I have said this is because it was a very cryptic rumour, which read that in the next couple of weeks something will happen with a team that plays in blue/yellow (obviously I then checked out which teams play in these colours) and came up with

Bayern Munich
RCD Espanyol
Chievo
Hellas Verona

Bayern sounds a winner to me with the Robben rumours flying around, but they also have Thomas Muller and Mario Gomez who would be worth it too.

I am as confused as you guys, but lets wait and see if anything happens.

Kalrez

Believable2 Unbelievable13

U got that of itk bull on youtube

Agree0 Disagree0

Would hope its robben and either of them 2 but cant see them letting muller go at all, also boca juniors play in blue and yellow and they have been playing in london in the last week so who knows

Agree0 Disagree0

Mate, what are u on about ?

Agree0 Disagree0

What is this? Give us a clue? Try naming some players.

Agree0 Disagree0

The blue and yellow rubbish is just that absolute rubbish, it wasn't an Itk at all someone merely trying to link us to strikers that we've already been linked to.

Yellow: Rossi, nilmar, llorente, vucinic
Blue: adebayor, benzema (France), eto'o, higuian (Argentina), drogba, sturidge, Anelka, Kalou, milito

Someone is trying to sound like they know something and they know nothing. Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh and the teams you've got are categorically WRONG Not to mention bayerns main colours are red, White and black

Agree0 Disagree0

God I knew some of you would be like this, If you google 'football teams that play in yellow and blue' I think you'll find that Bayern Munich pops up at number 2 (don't ask me why) but they must be linked somehow.

And I did say a team that plays in 'yellow and blue' not one or the other colour.

My source is 90% right when and if she reveals any information.

Ed can we tag the original post as I am so confident something will happen I would like to give all the posters a 'told you so'

Kalrez

Agree0 Disagree0

Kalrez this yellow and blue thing is not new it's been around since the start of the transfer window and it's in relation to 2 supposed strikers one plays in yellow the other in blue, early links was Rossi as he's in yellow for villareal and blue for Italy. I'm afraid there will be no I told you so.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yellow and Blue you say........

BRAZIL, ITS JUST LIKE WATCH BRAZIL, ITS JUST LIKE WATCHING BRAZIL, ITS JUST LIKE WATCHING BRAZIL

All togeather now......

BRAZIL, ITS JUST LIKE WATCH BRAZIL, ITS JUST LIKE WATCHING BRAZIL, ITS JUST LIKE WATCHING BRAZIL

BRAZIL,

Agree0 Disagree0

There's a storm coming ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think you get the idea of plays in 'yellow and blue' not blue or yellow on there own.

There will be a told you so, my source is 90% positive about it.....

Kalrez

Agree0 Disagree0

Can i say that i want to start a new rumour?

how about red and yellow and pink and green and ...... well u know the rest.

you heard it here first.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed - please tag this becuase i would like him to remember he is a fool who talks drivvel

Agree0 Disagree0

Why doesn't your source just tell you the team? It seems silly to say two colours which could be any player. Of course your source is going to be right because it cud be linked to any player. Really they don't knw and are just trying to cover every base.

Collins

Agree0 Disagree0

Blue and yellow is a 'cryptic' clue posted by 'Phantom of the lane' as appeared on Spurs community itk site. Stop trying to pass it off as your own Kalrez, its embarassing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yellow & blue ok how about Amauri Brazilian born y & bl plays for Italy bl was on loan at parma away kit y&bl juve used to play in y&bl away but it could be anyone from Columbia, Brazil, Ecuador, Sweden, Ukraine It's endless a load of nonsense

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs will reportedly focus their attention on signing Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente, after Mirko Vucininc chose to sign for Juventus.

Llorente fired home 19 goals for Bilbao last season sending them into this seasons Europa League. Tottenham have a pre-seaon friendly against Bilbao before they kick off the season and the deal is reported to be done around that time when the 2 clubs meet

Believable10 Unbelievable8

Ive said for a long time now that llorente is the exact player we need, can play with someone alongside him or the lone role brilliantly. He is my 1st choice definetely, would like to see this one happen

Agree0 Disagree0
