From what I've seen on youtube the yout look's a lot like Pav.

Which is not a bad ting. Pav was a good player for mans.

Let's just hope his work rate is like Parkers. Get me.
I feel ya blud. I'm picking up what you're putting down, bredren. So on and so forth.

Standard.

I take it Ryan's new info is suggesting Luuk De Jong as a replacement for Modders? He comes quite highly rated but surely not up to that level yet?

Not a replacement given that Modric is a deep lying midfield playmaker and De Jong is a six foot two striker.

We're also looking to bring in 2 new scouts in the next few months. One of them has extensive knowledge of South America.
don't get too excited I've seen one of them being interviewed

If Vertonghen doesn't score a belter of a free kick against England then rips off his Belgium shirt to reveal the new Spurs top, I'll be very disappointed.

Pretty much, he gets forward when the rest of the team do, but it's not like we see him popping up in the box regularly, the majority of his work is done in the middle third of the pitch.

You've just described a midfield player. A deep lying midfield player would be one that sits in front of the back 4 and does little else. Modric pops up all over the place

I don't know. Carrick and Berbatov never really replicated their form for us again in the league. So if a player is just going to move on to become a disappointment, anybody's millions will do. ;)

Modric will work in that United side, he'll be a much bigger success than those two, albeit Carrick has just had a decent season and Berbatov doesn't fit into Fergie's ideology (begs the question why the spent 30 million on him)

Personally I would much prefer he went abroad.

Wait a minute.. we're replacing Modric with Vertonghen?
Is Luuk De Jong a deep-lying midfielder? I thougth that was Nigel?
Is it Bale or Harry that's signing a new contract?
Who's Vertonghen?
Why weren't we in for Hazard?!
Etc...
