Some sites are weighing Manu interest in Modric....is there any truth Eds ?? 40m+ ?

{Ed008's Note - Just speculation Kagawa is their 1st choice though..

VDV and Modric are class if they go i fear Spurs are back to square one on the mission of signing other quality players

Agreed. What would be more sickening is if we, yet again, sold our best players to our rivals. What would that say?
FFS, if Modric really wants to go and we are left with little choice but to sell at least take some sort of control and make sure he is flogged abroad.
Super Y*d {Ed008's Note - I don't see any clubs outside Europe paying the that figure above. Only the English clubs...

Ed008, I agree with you. I fear that IF he goes, it will be to another Premiership club and that would be a massive kick in the b*lls to every supporter. Obviously if Levy was that kinda guy, he would take less for him to ensure that he DID go abroad but it aint gonna happen!
Never mind..
Super Y*d

I for one dont see what the fuss is about if Modric was to leave. He would generate 40million that we could invest in other areas.
For a player in that postion he should be into double figures for goals rather than the 4 he got and correct me if i'm wrong I think he's only got 3 assists.
Look at other players in his postion, Lampard, Gerrard, Silva, Nasri, Ben Arfa even Scholes scored more and more assits than modric.
Be more worried if Bale & Walker was to leave.

Madrid were interested weren't they? or perhaps psg, malaga or anzhi would be willing

Why do we always seem to focus on the negatives. There is clearly interest in Bale, Modric and Van Der Vaart, but nothing more than press hype fuelled rhetoric regarding actual deals. Daniel Levy has already shown that he will not accept £40m bids for our stars, and everyone says we stole VDV at £8m, so why on earth would we consider a £10m bid for a player that has clearly returned to his top form.

So if we keep all three and add a few more top quality players like Damiao, Vertonghen and Demba Ba everyone will be talking about a title challenge. The worst case scenario is we sell Bale & Modric for £50m each and let VDV join Schalke for £15m. The question is simple, do you think you could improve the team with £115m without those players?

I know our lack of Champions League football would deter the likes of Robben, Hamsik and others of that ilk, but think we could sign players of very similar ability from clubs who are also not in the Champions League.

Lastly and probably most importantly is the fear about selling to other Premiership sides. Well I assume that you mean Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City. If this was to happen there are players like Javier Hernandez, Adam Johnson, Eden Dzeko, Romelu Lukaku and even Nani that all seem surplus to requirements. So with Levy's business prowess I am not worried of any outcome.

The Oracle

Well said oracle .....
Guys what's up with the oracle ? Mark down the date ....
He's finally said something sensible

Are you still bothering to post your rubbish...?

Poor poor spuds its so easy dream of what could have been your players will leave your manager too and the second rate players will soo start arriving

Well it doesn't help when some people like you are led astray by numerous posts under my name from imposters. ED is on the case for the umpteenth time, and sure it will get sorted.

The Oracle {Ed007's Note - Sorry mate, that is getting sorted, AGAIN!!}

Just been watching Gaston Ramirez clip on utube this guy looks awesome.... i think he would make a great addition to our forward line silky skills and good pace.. {Ed007's Note - Sorry about the LFC parts but they were on the couple of videos I looked at:

Levy is after AVB

I do hope so we will defo win with him in charge

If we lose Harry, I think this should be the only option. But I still think HR has a mission to prove next season (i.e qualify for Champs Lge/beat Arsenal/silverware). He'll want the FA to think they made the wrong decision.

Not impressed by AVB at all, hope he doesn't come our way!
Mo

Mo the only thing ABV did wrong was sign for Chelsea .....
He is a superb manager with adequate man management skills ....
But there are too many big egos at Chelsea that knew they would be brushed aside with his policy .....
Lampard ... Terry ... Etc
They made it difficult for him ....
I would love him as our manager
{Ed008's Note - I agree AVB only brings positive football and at Chelsea wasn't given the chance.

Are these chelski fans on a wind up. Go from minority incompetent redknapp to the horror show of incompetence that is AVB. God spare us.

Steed

Yeah he won the league with Porto but they did have Hulk and Falcao up front and the rest of that league ain't great! Di Matteo didn't do so bad with the same squad that AVB failed with, if he was told to make changes anyone smart would get Terry, Lampard etc on side rather than alienate them!
Mo

No, we're not on the wind up. I for one think that in a decidedly non-poisonous atmosphere like spurs avb could do quite well

Is that how you repay the Manager that dragged you from mid-table mediocrity to where you are now?

If it wasn't for Fulop having a fit on the last day you would have been third.

How much higher do you think you are capable of going?

Should he stay or should he go ?

Well Come on then

Click Agree for Redknapp to stay and Disagree for him to go. How do we really feel yod Army ?

I've heard that Redknapp has gone to a Middle East club, Qatar I think. Anyone any sources on this?

The Rabbit

Well, I expect we feel like yods.

Well our dear old thfc, have been linked with everyone from messi to a new tea lady, are we not making the signings, due to the whispers hr, might be going, or is it same old tottenham, trying to save a pound hear and a pound their, whilst were trying to save the pounds, all the best pllayers, will and are being snapped up by our rivals, jv, not done remy ada, and another 10 with liks to club, come on levy, put up or sell up.

I was the happiest yod in the world when I thought that Redcrapp was on his way to manage England and we were getting compensation for showing his sorry ass the door. Martin Jol took us th fifth with half the talent as his disposal. F'off you, Harry, you muppet!

Why would anyone want redknapp to go? yes he made some bad mistakes last year but he dragged us from a mid table side to a top 4 premier league side. when we make a big signing for cheap e.g vdv everyone praises how good levys is at getting bargains yet when we sign old players e.g nelson everyone blames rednapp. surely its not levy making all the bargain signings and rednapp signing all of the players that are old and past it one of the is making all of the signings. stick with harrry and we will yet again be in and around the top 4 playing the best football in the league(apart from maybe swansea this season)

Spurs arnt a top 4 side we need to stop pretending we are.we've had 1 season in the CL.iknow this season we finished fourth but i cant see an improvment on that.chelsea will challlenge for the league again and arsenal always seem to have our number.5th is the best we can hope for in my opinion
