[nickchrissi]

Dinamo Zagreb president Zdravko Mamic is in London for talks with several clubs including Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea over the transfer of Luka Modric. (The Times)

Who?

 

[LSUY]

Who?

Luka Modric - one of those Croatian midfielders that ripped England to shreds at Wembley not so long ago.

 

[HildoSpur]

Modric is a top player and would be a great sigining..

 

[eViL]

hmm.. they're talking 20m.

 

[BoringOldFan]

He'll be a Gooner in a fortnight :wink:.

 

[Legend10]

Modric is a very very good player but I would be surprised if we went for him.

As Evil says they are talking serious money and he plays in an area of the pitch that we aren't desperate in.

I would have thought that we are more likely to be in the market for a midfield enforcer. Unless of course Juande sees JJ playing that role and Modric as the more advanced of the 2 midfield players.

 

[ShadyAftermath2k]

Get him in!

 

[neogenisis]

Chelski bound i think.

 

[talkshowhost86]

We're just being included to bump up the price I suspect. can't see us spending that much on anyone in January.

 

[yiddotilidie]

He's a gooner. We wont get him, its just agent bullpoo.

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Would be a great signing, unlikely as all the mail from Croatia is saying Chelsea.

 

[nightgoat]

Could we even afford to go into a bidding war with Chelsea and Man City?

 

[gerishep]

This just isn't going to happen, we are not top drawer for these types of players. Its a dream and we should be more realistic on who we can attract.

 

[General Levy]

Could we even afford to go into a bidding war with Chelsea and Man City?

No, we couldn't.

 

[Mullers]

Very good player, who isn't coming to us, which is a shame.

 

[mkkid]

im sure ,i saw him play against Ajax in the uefa,this boy is top quailty but id pefer Diego from Werder Bremen.

 

[Legend10]

There has to be some doubts about whether Modric could handle the physical side of the game in England, he really is very slight.

That makes 20 million a very big gamble.

[Goldman]

never heard of the man
