Both creative midfielders and both fairly young and both will provide something which chelsea has been desperately missing. But which one would you prefer to join us.
They wouldnt be cheap and rumours are rife that a bid for pastore has been accepted and that club may have been us.
Modric has stated his desire and ambition to play for a bigger club with champions league football, however levy is trying his hardest to ensure modric stays.
So which one would you rather see at the bridge.
Pastore or Modric

Pastore isn't worth £40m guys. He seems to have a lazy aura around him

I'm a Modric kind of a guy. I like his commitment and energy to go with his vision and penetration. Mmm, that's a nice word.

I´d rather sign Moutinho for significantly less than the ridiculous money Spurs want for Modric.
Yes I like Modric, yes he´s a good player but not for the big money being touted.
Modric doesn´t score that many goals and he doesn´t get that many assists either for a so-called creative midfielder.
Villas-Boas knows Moutinho and he knows how to get the best out of him.

Moutinho wouldn't be any cheaper mate, Porto apparently looking for £62 million for him and Falcao

I think Porto want 35.5 million for Moutinho. I wouldn't mind which really, just one year between them both and similar players, and both around the same price.

It sounds like Porto are digging their heels in after losing Villas-Boas.
Shame as Moutinho and Falcao would be a great package and would certainly add something to Chelsea FC.

Pastore.

i say pastore.
italian league is very defensive and he has become a star by unlocking them. that is exactly what we troble with. we can dominate but not unlock.
He is also quite big and tall for his type position so would adapt tro prem well! coul certainly play in 433 as the attacking mid along side say ramires and essien

Pastore for me.
younger, scores goals (the one big miss from Modric's CV)

paying £45m for Pastore is a huge risk as he's unproven in the PL. At least if we sign Modric we know we're getting one of the best creative midfielders in the prem.
