I think it's different combinations
The Hudd brings the best out in Jenas, because he creates space for Jenas to run into, while Jenas incredible engine means he can cover any gaps left by Hudds lack of mobility.
Meanwhile, Zokora and Modric are good for eachother because Zokora's lack of invention is made up for by Modric's constant scheming and probing.
In reality, Hudd is too immobile to play with Modric, Jenas is not defensive enough to play with Modric. Zokora and Modric compliment eachother quite well.
Palacios is a player of similar style to Zokora, but with a touch more discipline, a lot more ability and a tougher tackle (Zokora is more interceptor than tackler). Therefoer, I think that Palacios is someone who would be a very good partner for Modric, and their similar ages would mean they could grow together in our midfield for a long time.
However, much as I like Palacios, I will not be heartbroken to have to make do with Zokora and Modric till the end of the season. It is a more than competent combination.
you see I wouldn't be. Yesterday was a good example of the reason why. Modric just couldn't pass to Zokora and get it back. not till Bentley came on and cut inside did modric have someone to pass and recevie the ball off. If you play Zokora you might as well be admitting you're not bothered if modric gets the ball enough or not.
We don't lack effort and legs in the team we lack accuracy and skill on the ball.
