ties in with the latest Modric news

I would think that Sig is more likely to be Modric's replacement than Oscar

RE : Daniel Levy


Info : Have heard that due to his wife's illness, Daniel Levy is considering some time out from the club. Up to a year.

This is what I heard.....and sheds more light on why Harry was a gonner when he gobbed off in the press about a new deal......Levy has buried his mum and his wife is very ill.......straw that broke the camels back when they disliked eachother anyway

Neither should be a Modric replacement imo. Sig looks to be at his best just behind the striker or at the very least very advanced in midfield and no way we would give a 20 year old small Brazilian kid the kind of defensive responsibility Modric has had in central midfield. Huddlestone/Moutinho/Sahin/someone else would be his replacement IF he goes in my opinion.

 

[P.D.]

Whats happening with Lennons contract? I think he signed a new 5 yr one in 2009 and generally we dont let first team players enter their last 2 years of a contract.

I'd hope we push forward for Moutinho, probably because I've actually seen him play football.

Verts was on some Ajax team bonding boating trip earlier, posted the same picture of it 3 times on twitter, then deleted them all.

AVB has seen more at Porto, yet chose to pursue Modric for 4 x the money.

 

[Leeds Spur]

If he leaves, thats exactly the kind of deal I want for him. Could probably get more from City and maybe even United, but keeping him out of England should give teams like Madrid a discount

Chelsea offered £40 million balls out on the final day of the transfer window.....and he had a year more on his deal.

£35 million would be OUTSTANDING business and a non-EPL team would be superb.

Was this ever confirmed that it was a £40m bid? I only ever saw that as paper talk....

Where are you getting this 4x number from?

How about you believe your own eyes?

And we both know who buys the players at Chelsea.

What bid was ever confirmed?

There was widespread reports of £40 million on 31st August

 

[bainz]

Duncan Castles saying Vertonghen done on twitter??

 

[Jordinho]

There have been reports since that Chelsea never came anywhere near as much as £40m

Yeah that's what I mean - REPORTS of a £40m bid. What I'm saying is do we know that it was actually £40m or was it just the papers making up a figure? I don't doubt that they made a bid, just questioning the figure....

 

[Jordinho]

Everyone and their dog saying Verts done on twitter.
