Jamie Redknapp saying "if Chelsea offer £35m for Modric it'll be like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Must think of it from a business point of view and 2 or 3 quality players can be bought with that cash"

35 million won't get you 2 or 3 quality players and it wouldn't pay for their wages either. Idiot.

So, Stoke reportedly offer £20m and you're prepared to take £3.5m less. Genius.

I go away for two months and this place gets no brighter.

Oh keep your pants on, I was saying £16mil in a reply to another poster who said that was more like what the offer would be.

The way this window has gone, I just couldn't imagine that at all. We've struggled to get just a striker so I find it hard to imagine us getting the quality needed in to replace Modric and to fill the striker gap.

He's right.

I still don't want us to sell him so we can maintain the high ground, but Ratboy's comments tonight have annoyed me. There's no way back into my heart for him now.

We ain't selling modric, so what Jamie redknaap says is irrelevant. Plus who would we buy with the 35 million? We clearly can't afford the wages of any players around the 20 million mark.

i wud like to know what 2 or 3 players he is on about...we are struggling to get a foward, winger and defender in and dont even start me on midfielders to replace what modric brings to spurs.

i repeat again if someone at spurs sells modric to a local rival then we should all up sticks and walk away from spurs who wud deserve some serious shit and shooting down. what wud be point of every signing a striker when we sell the one real world class player we have

he also said hes a one off in modern football because if he had kicked up a fuss, hed be gone already. But he basically thinks £35m may be worth accepting. Thats how it sounds anyway

Well that's his opinion but it ain't mine :wink:

i hate this myth that we need to sell to buy if we wanted we could spend £30 mil on a player now we dont need tos sell luka to buy the problem is wages ad levy is always after the cheapest price

I take it you've never run a business.

The value of Crouch is whatever Levy can get away with. Like the £6.25m he persuaded Boro to cough up for Mido a few years ago, when dicks on here were saying we ought to pay someone to take him off our hands.



Thank fuck you're not running Spurs, then.
Calm down! i asked you a question.. thats all, i never said sell him for peanuts. If you cant answer the question civil then dont bother replying. But i will say if we paid 9m for crouch 2 years ago his price would of only gone 1 way. And you dont have to run a business to know that.
