  • Modric

    Certainly looks like Lukas had his last game for us, managers always have excuses with injuries and this is no exception all of a sudden he has a groin strain he has been perfectly fine until know having played no game on Saturday, you can bet your botton dollar should he sign for Chelsea any time now he will be straight into the team and no problems. I have always said if a player wants to go let him do so, the fact that part of the deal includes Benyouan and Kalou only increases our wage bill, i would say on this instance stick out for the 35 million i like Benyouan but very injury prone as for Kalou i personally dont fancy him.
    Also if Modric did play on Thursday and then moved to Chelsea he would not be able to play in the Champions League.

      Sorry, it was a bit of a rant wasn't it - though nonetheless from the heart.

      Having just paid a serious wedge of dosh for a season ticket this year I want to be able to watch our midfield maestro (and the fans' player of the season) in our colours every home game, not just once a year in Chav blue :-(

      I'll be spitting mad if Levy does sell Modric after he categorically said only a couple of months ago "Luka Modric is not for sale, to Chelsea or any other club". He will have lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned if he then expects us to meekly accept him going back on his word?

      If he wants us back in the CL for the revenue stream it produces we can't be seen to allow our best player for years to go to a rival (especially the Chavs) unless his aim is merely to make the balance sheet attractive for the City and shareholders. It would just reinforce to all the other PL clubs that we're still essentially a selling club and as sure as night follows day Manure, Real, Inter or even Barca would table stupidly low bids for Bale and vdV and expect us to tamely roll over.

      Any statisticians out there who can tell me the games with Modric playing and those without, points won/lost, goals scored/conceded by the team. Be interesting to see the percentages for and against Modric's involvement. I know quality of the opposition would count too but would give a pointer towards how much influence he actually had on last season.

      Its more a point of how much Chelski want Luka , as Sturridge was on loan last year anyway so is not in their current team anyway.
      I believe that we should chose who we take as makeweight in any deal and so give Chelski the choice £30m + sturridge or David Luiz

      Hello MEL, is that correct, if you play in the Europa you can't play in the CL??
      Personally I would take Benayoun and Kalou. If we get Ruiz as well and lose Crouch and one of the other two I for one won't complain!

        I saw the speculation on the deal to be...27 million plus the two players mentioned. MEL's correct, just increases our wage bill, only marginally increases our team (if at all).

        As for the cup-tied question - yes, its true, if Modric were to play against Hearts he would be cup-tied, and so no good (well not much good) to Chelsea
