Modric to Replace Scholes?

aint happening unless the player puts in a transfer request, no matter how many hacks fergusson has working for him in the press. If Modric asks to go then theres no way we can keep him but i dont think he will and says so himself that if he stays then thats fine with him. Got to admire Fergies control of the press though, very impressive.

Modric to Replace Scholes? A BIG, FAT NOOOO! Stay away from him, you monsters!

oh wait, i see what you're doing there...

Sorry, yoonited, but we have our own ambitions too!

50 mil, you're having a laugh now mate. The truth is Levy would take 30-35 mil easy. A good player and would really reinforce our p1ss poor midfield. Personally though I'd rather get Sneijder, who wants to come to the club and has expressed so in the past, who will cost a further 5-10 mil on top of whatever Modric will cost.

Modric>Sneijder

Not going anywhere. We have one year to get into the Champs League otherwise I'm afraid both him and Bale will be off next summer but I can't see any of our stars leaving. A few years back we had no chance of getting into CL and could look forward to a season of mediocrity but not anymore. Next season there will be 6 teams going for 4 places and you would have to say Spurs and Liverpool are favourites to miss out but anything could happen.

I am a spurs fan and obviously don't want to see him go! What I would say is that I never understand why teams try to replace a simiiar player with a similar type player? Invariably it doesn't work and the new player looks out of sorts, unable to find his place in the new team. Agreed that scholesy leaves a hole, but united should look to buy the best midfielder they can, and create a new team based around the players on the roster, rather than replace like for like

spurs paid £10m for berbatov and sold him to united for £32m...you really think anything less than £40m for a player bought for £16.5m will even be acknowledged, just because you want him doesn't mean you can get him for whatever price you quote. i doubt he'll leave but if he does, it'll be closer to £50m than £40m

I'm sorry to say but any of you Spurs fans who think you're going to get 50 mil for him are deluded. You use the current market as an example but the transfers you've seen are completely different. Firstly and foremost, striker and wingers go at a premium rate unlike midfielders, defenders and keepers. Carroll is 21 on a 5 year contract and English, no significant trophies, accolades or accomplishments thus his ridiculous price of 35 mil. Torres is a World Cup winner proven Premier League goalscorer with 2 years on his contract left thus the 50 million. Now lets compare to Modric and so who he reflects the most, Carroll or Torres. Modric, good CM but yet to prove to be a goalscorer or a consistant assister/assistee, already admitted to having his head swayed if the right offer came about, granted 5 years left on his contract but on a wage similar to Pienaar and Wes Brown, no personal accolades/accomplishments/trophies to boast, hunger to play in CL again and win trophies. Who's he more similar to, Torres or Carroll? Answer, in case you couldn't work it out for yourselves is Carroll. So 30-40 mil is his value at the most not 50 mil. In case there's still an argument lets compare him to a player superior in every way and their market value: Sneijder, worlds best CAM, World Cup finalist, Champions League, Serie A and Liga BBVA winner with 4 years left on his contract, only hint of wanting to leave is his wish to play for Man U in the PL, estimated value is 35+ mil. Modric worth more than Sneijder? Have a laugh. Hope this helps put things into perspective for ya.

No offence to the Spurs fans, but have to agree with the reds - not the faintest chance you'll get £50m for Modric. Hell, not even our owners in their first year waould have splashed that much on them. Very good player, but i suspect you lot are wearing spurs tinted spectacles on this one (if such a thing is possible? LOL)

nah.. we'll keep huddlestone thanks. and moddric, (goes without saying). do u want jenas? u could play him and carrick in the middle. (won't come cheap though).

...and also where did you pluck this £35m for Sneijder from? Thin air or the 'media reports (LOL)'. Go to Massimo Moratti with that offer and time how long it takes him to stop laughing ;)

If you want a like for like player then Snjeider is your man. Modric is a central box to box, definetly noe an attacking player. Modders is probably not going anywhere this year anyway. He is not the type of player to hand in a transfer request. Contrary to what people might think, Spurs are not a selling club. Players are only sold when a player really wants to go bad enough. Modders is not in that bracket yet.

joe cole is waiting for a call.
