Modric must have watched the Chelsea game believing that he dodged a bullet by not moving to the west.
A few months back the Croatian wonder man was adamant that he wanted to secure dream move to Chelsea. If he had pushed ahead with his move to the Bridge, he would be in the same position as Torres.
If you were Modric, why would even consider signing for Chelsea now? In August Modric was convinced that he would be in danger of being a divisive influence if he remained at The Lane.
'Arry had made public Modric's wish not to play against us [City] and United with the deadline looming. Spurs' squad is settled, organised and managing successfully balancing their commitments.
Since that day, Modric and his attitude have been outstanding. The players have around have matched his form and surprisingly Spurs are a force frequently challenging for the top four.
So, why would he jump ship from an outfit on the up to join a club where owner-inteference is the usual, a stubborn young manager is proving to be the worst so far under Roman, and CL football next season is no longer a given?
Modrić would have BLUE it

Why any player would want to join a vulgar club like Chelsea (for reasons other than money) is beyond comprehension for most straight thinking fans.

Modric is far superior to Lampard in terms of technical ability, vision, and passing. Lampard gets you loads of goals because his ego is all about him.
I'd pick a Modric at his peak over a Lampard at his peak.

When is the official offer coming from Man Utd ??
We need it to kill Chelsky #freeLuka and "ratboy" stone dead.

Modric is better is every single area besides deflected gaols and penalty kicks.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see this.

Captain_Positivity :
blah blah bore.
Make an official offer for Modric, or scuttle into a dark corner.

Modric won't be leaving spurs so no point in anyone bidding especially Chelsea who are going no where fast

But Man Utd making an offer of any kind instantly turns Chelsky and ratboy into floor-wipes.
