We won't sell 'M' but if we were to accept a part ex from Chelscum ... I'd only be happy with players like Alex, Ivanovic or McEachran in part ex with £30-35m.

Pointless even contemplating selling him anyway because who and how the hell would we replace him this late in the window.

Fingers crossed Adebayor is a permanent transfer.

Mate if it was in my hands, I wouldn't even sell for £1billion, but lets face it, we have 1 unhappy player, and we are a business, do we continue to pay him his £65k a week for the next season with him rotting in the reserves and his value sliding? And look at Fabregas going for £30m, this is the same saga arsenal had with fabregas and they lost in the end. We will not get over £30m in my opinion. The best we would get is £25m-£30m plus a player.
I know what your saying but i'd rather have his value slide over the next 5 years and have 5 years of quality football at Tottenham. He's not going to not try for us, Harry is always going on (before the saga too) about how good he is, in training, as a person, he won't be like Berbasulk. If anything he'll play better to make sure Chelsea don't look elsewhere in January!
£30m+Mata and they may have a deal :wink:

:grin:

Thats a valid point, however if its true (i know - an if!) that Modric is refusing to play, then he is like Berbasulk. Tbh this will go right down to the last day IMO.

The txt didnt say i just looked at my phone message was sent at 22:57 i just didnt see it/read it till now! too late to call him as i know he is working tomorrow morning!!

I have to admit you do have an uncanny posting resemblance to ol' Adie :lol:

jackson is absolutely right. It's more than just simply to do with whether or not Modric is happy to play for us, or whether we can get some cash and a Chelsea reject in return. It's about the long-term future of the club.

Sell Modric and there isn't a single replacement signing, or even two or three, that would stop VDV, Bale and Sandro from lining up to be the next out of the door.

Not to mention the fact that Levy will look like a complete and utter backtracking, lying dick if he sells now. That's why I'm convinced it won't happen. Even £50m for Modric won't be much use to Levy if he's forced to quit through a combination of fan hatred and generally being a laughing stock among other chairmen in football.

The bald one is not for turning.

Let's get real here,agents decide where players go and agents decide when players should move on to a bigger club.................obviously because they make a huge pot of dough.

If we keep players against their will(agents instructions) do we really think that they will want to do business with us in future?
How will that effect us buying new players,will their agents want them to sign big contracts that they know we might enforce? It's certainly going to rule out future big money moves for them.

IF it's true can see the player being Sturridge

Tell them they can fuck off!

I wouldn't sell him. Especially to a team like Chelsea. They make my skin crawl.

This Modric saga is getting beyond a joke.

If true Chelsea just spent 26 million on Mata huge potential but unproven in the Prem.

Also if reports are to be believed they tap up Modric with a promise of trebling his wages they then come to us with a 23 million bid then a 26 million bid. Who the fuck to they think they are?

Other reports this morning are saying Modric has said to Harry he won't play for us again and is on strike.

I don't want Modric at the club anymore but sure as hell do not wan't to sell to Chelsea. Would love to see us try and make some kind of swap deal with a big foreign club. Just get this little prick out of the club and preferably out of the country.

I don't actually think he's adie. For a start he called the unfinished status of the Diarra and Ade deals when everyone else was saying they were done. Adie's was all talk, dressed up as 1000% certainties...balls on the line.

What's it got to do with anything? Adie crashed this site on numerous occasions by claiming to have valuable "updates" which proved to be little more than slightly informed rumours. He was an attention seeker that made things out to be far more than they actually were, and therefore his credentials were severely damaged by the time he got asked to stop posting.

If wpd659 was the same guy, it would render his comments little more than embellished rumours, rather than the interesting updates they are now...so no the answer is a long way from "nothing".

I don't think he is the same guy though.
