See, the thing is, we don't need to sell Modric to bring in Diarra, Samba/Cahill and Parker why would anyone think we did?
By every knowledgeable account we wanted to get rid of Gio, Bentley, Keane and Palacios which we have started doing I would therefore respectfully say that that claim is incorrect.
Maybe Adebayor announcement is waiting for the Nasri to City announcement just to double the pain for the goons.:)


if we got £30m plus Drogba and he helped get us into the top 4 and champions league footy and two seasons out of him i think that would be a good thing, if we are back in the champions league then we can attract the likes of Rossi etc
Can't see that Drogba would help us more than Modric.

Providing I'm not going mad, Anelka reveals he wants to leave Chelsea, Benayoun says he will announce a decision on his future this week (said to be 100% involved in Modric deal) dare I say its £30m plus these 2?
Anelka always wants to leave after a couple of years and Benayoun isn't a Villas Boas signing and with a new manager players always find themselves surplus to requirements.


Does anyone really expect Daniel Levy to allow Chelsea to dump their geriatric dead wood on us in exchange for Luka Modric? On what planet would that happen?

Goughmeister - presuming it's the same chappy that used to be on here - was a terrific poster, one who I had a lot of time for and a lot of banter with.

He would definitely not make stuff up. If it's the same GM, that is.

I believe it is, Stoof.

if our window consists of us selling Modric to the Chavs, and getting, Samba, Parker and Sturridge/Benayoun i think i'll hang myself. (but after i've capped Levy)

Funnily enough i have just had a text asking if we are selling luka???

Would really hope this is not true, DL would put himself in an impossible position if this is the case as he told us all that he was not for sale. Then again does make you wonder why all of a sudden Luka is not playing tonight due to a niggling groin problem

Wish everyone would take the modric chat out of here, every one is so bored of it... same stuff for about 2 months now... same player swaps, same Harry vs Levy... nothing has changed... take it to the Modric thread...:bang:

I'd prefer £30m plus Daniel Sturridge, personally, if the worst came to the worst.

Not convinced on Samba being brought in either, surely there are better targets? Cahill from Bolton would be better.

Selling Modric and improving the squad, I'm kind of all for it. I don't think Modric is irreplacable and selling him kind of helps to change to a 4-2-3-1 formation. I don't think Modric fits into that kind of formation too well. He doesn't really have the defensive skills to play as part of the two, nor does he have the goalscoring ability to play as part of the three further forward.

Having said all that, ideally I'd like to keep Modric, he's a tremendous little player. BUT only if his head is right, which clearly it isn't, I guess.

Agree fully with this post! :hump:

Can't Harry just use his phone and call Levy rather than making a mockery of the club?
This.

Plus am I the only one who is begining to think that arry is trying to get the sack? (and therefore a large payoff enabling him to walk in to the england job after a nice relaxing holiday):shrug:

Levy needs to resign if he sold Modric a la Berbatov situation.

I would not go over there again till he's gone.

Spurs would become a pointless club, charging CL prices with no real ambition.

Jog on would be my response

So, hold on, five minutes ago you were saying you wanted Harry out, now you've changed your mind and want Levy to go?

If Stoof's right and this is the same Goughmeister that used to post on here then this is a little disconcerting, because if I remember correctly he did have some genuine contacts and was definitely not a bullshit artist. On the other hand, it might be someone else.

However, rushing to judgement over one piece of ITK isn't a good idea, and slashing your wrists a still worse one.

I'm pretty sure Peanut or POTL will put us at ease soon enough.

Harry needs to be gagged IMO.

What people need to realise is IF we decided to sell Luka to the chavs then the deal wouldn't be sorted out in 24hrs. This is Levy they would be dealing with. He would squeeze every last penny out of them and it would be all over the press and the ITKs would let us know what is happening.

Therefore Goughmeister has some dud contacts IMO

Why was my post deleted?

You mean, why was your post deleted twice that contained something from the Guardian about a player we have a thread for?

Now let me think ... :think:
