Luka Modric spotted at Anfield. Stayed tuned for photographic evidence.

Lots of talk that Spurs have accepted a bid of £35m from United. Fingers crossed it's just gossip.

fair point
good article about the lovable tyke in goal.com- why is luka modric so highly rated when lampard scores more and fabregas has more assists, they conclude that it's because he's good at other stuff.
remarkable stuff

The Modric rumour seems to be stemming from "TransferUpdate" on Twitter, who seems a tad suspect to say the least
― Number None, Saturday, 25 June 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
deems should be more worried about citeh sending adebayor in return, possibly after levy sniffs at a lower exchange offer from chelsea containting drogba, while muttering something about amortisation

Had an inkling this was possible when he scored two v Spurs in Madrid in April. You could do a lot worse.
Drogba news gone quiet lately, I suppose he's staying.
― boxall, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
yeah looks like drogba stays, tho apparently moves were mad efor lukaku today so....
i rate adebayor's ability, but his attitude stinks
if we're loaning strikers then sturridge pls

So making him captain didn't work then? What's your source here, I thought Chelsea were more interested in Pastore now.

source is pmac, by text, from tesco. dunno where he gets his info tbh

Saw a copy of the Daily Star on Sunday on the Tube earlier, the back page had Chelsea bidding £27mn for Modric with Sturridge going to Spurs as part of the deal iirc.

Sturridge and 'arry at Spurs would be a lethally funny combo for ILF lols.

Apparently he's been okay in pre-season, attitude-wise? Sort of hoping Chelsea just get bored and look elsewhere.

"They're your options: get the money and get four players and, in all honesty, have a better team, or keep Luka, who is a fantastic player."

His comments on Ade in that piece are otm.

What a thing to say in public about Modric though. How's Levy going to react when he sees that?!
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 18 August 2011 05:55 (twelve years ago) link
'arry has most likely convinced his 'airman that he's sufficiently adept at reverse psychology to keep Luka out of 'elsea's 'hands.
― boxall, Thursday, 18 August 2011 05:58 (twelve years ago) link
typo there at the end, distracted from re-reading above. I'll be sad if he goes somewhere and is a reserve but great thread regardless.
― boxall, Thursday, 18 August 2011 06:01 (twelve years ago) link
That looks like Redknapp and Levy are at loggerheads to me. Redknapp presumably frustrated at Levy's refusal to part without any cash without having first sold the deadwood he's put a prohibitive price tag on, when one player at a stroke could make £35m-£40m.
But at the same time we don't know who he's targeting, whether they'll come to Spurs, whether they'll actually improve the team (as opposed to replacing Kranjcars with Pienaars and making no net improvement whatsoever), and whether we'll end up with a hole in the squad and a load of unspent or wasted money at the end.
Personally I think he's trying to con Levy into getting his chequebook out. Doubt Harry likes spending an entire summer sitting around not being able to make signings.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 18 August 2011 08:44 (twelve years ago) link
It's the sort of thing that could end 'redknapp out' to me - not only undermining the public line, but shifting blame for underperformance onto Levy. The only benefit (assuming as I do that you can't possibly be better off shorn of Modric) is in getting Modric onside personally if he needs it, but even that's got a huge backhanded insult in there.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 18 August 2011 08:57 (twelve years ago) link
said for a while now that 35m spent well leaves us a better team if modric goes.
That was on condition of keeping niko, tho
― 10/11 of a dead jesus (darraghmac), Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:49 (twelve years ago) link
There's also the possibility that Redknapp is trying to rush Chelsea into a bid they can then reject.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:50 (twelve years ago) link
Redknapp has not really spent particularly well over his time at Spurs actually. Dunno if successful moves for Samba, Benayoun and Kalou and a failed bid for Eden Hazard will make much net improvement really.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:53 (twelve years ago) link
that's true, though i'd want to see a list to judge tbh
