There are a remarkable number of similarities between the Luka Modric saga and Fernando Torres' transfer to Chelsea last season.
Both would have come from clubs grappling for 4th and 5th place, and since last season Modric has been on a similarly high salary as Torres' was when he left Liverpool
Both players would have been offered better contracts prolonging their stays at their current clubs (if Modric does go to the blues) and considering the benign, stubborn old-fashioned style of management Redknapp leads at White Hart Lane, and only last week rejecting a £35 million offer - claiming the fee was too low in his rebuff - the fee will be extremely high like Torres transfer.
Chelsea fans the world over have been calling for Luka's 'rise from europa league mediocrity' , but perhaps this could be a condemning doomspell for Modric, a fatal mistake which point his career in the wrong direction, so with Torres as strike man, and chelsea buying around the Spaniard, modric might be forced into a role that could be uncomfortable for the small Croatian.
Modric could certainly be a flop, like torres, and with chelsea's best player essien out for 5 months, its likely to be a desperately close but not quite good enough season for Abramovich and co. What has AvB got himself into!!
Modric - another Torres?

Are you looking forward to watching that team from another galaxy, Manchester United on your old Satellite dish? Do you think that the Monsoon Season will affect the pictures much? ....................................................................................

Nothing to do with that. I'ts about proper supporters who go and see their teams like I do and I hope you do. This bloke is always on our board telling us that we have only supported Chelsea since 2004 and yet he admits that he is on a vastly different time frame to us, meaning that he has probably never been to Old Trafford. I have tried to ask him if he has even seen his "team" and I am yet to receive an answer!! Simple as that.
If he were to come on here and have proper debates then I would happily talk to him, but it is just abuse all the time.

The only similarity modric has is with ALL the other players daniel levy has sold out to make an extra buck. What's different about modric - nothing. Fully expect him to be at chelsea soon enough

Thank you for your blessing, I will continue to deal with him IF he persists, but I can assure you that I would NEVER stoop to what you thought that I was saying.
That would also be completely out of order and make me as ignorant as he is.
