Forget RVP. Get Modric.

No it's not. To quote Spurs fans "£30m not taking into account the Levy tax".

"But yet they are trying to land Damiao on the cheap. Swings and roundabouts"

Sell high, buy low.

The total cost IMHO is 35m. Not 40 etc like some planks are jabbering. 35m at current exchange rates is beyond Madrid.

Fair enough. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

How much was Bentley? Palacios? Pav? Jeans? Gomes?

Vortongen, one year left and you still pay £11m even though he only wanted Spurs.

Buy high more like?

"Vortongen, one year left and you still pay £11m even though he only wanted Spurs."

Verty and Siggy cost Spurs 2.5m net.

Oh no, not that argument. That's like when Liverpool fans saying Carroll cost nothing because they sold Torres for £50m.

You paid £11m, end of.

"You paid £11m, end of."

1. 10m gross.
2. Siggy + Verty = 2.5m net.

We can argue all night about whether modric is or isn't worth £40m (I think he's not) but it's all relative when trying to find a replacement. If we're being quoted joke prices then why wouldn't levy play that same game everyone else plays? Man united are allegedly doing the same, is 31 year-old berbatov, with 12 months left on his deal available for either £5m or £10m, because he seemingly doesn't know.

"We can argue all night about whether modric is or isn't worth £40m"

We can. And that plank will.
But no matter. I'm quite happy to feed him snippets of bait tonight to keep him going for 35 mins or so.
