Id be happy to see the team built around sandro and livermore (who i think has a very good range of passing), with parker and huddlestone in reserve.
suspect im in a minority of about 1 though.
Im beginning to think we'll have no choice. I wouldnt sell him through choice hes a great player but you got to be realistic and maybe its time to move on now.
Let's see how he feels after the CL final. I expect he'll be pretty open again about leaving if Chelsea win, and in that case we should definitely sell for as much as possible.
Totally agree, sell him to a big club
Totally agree, sell him for all you can get, just as long as spurs don't try and sell United some more sheite over priced rubbish

so glad we didn't buy him last term...
number eight
So you want be deleted for agreeing with the OP?
I've been saying you should sell him for over a year now. Can't see why you'd want to keep a player that clearly doesn't want to play for you anymore.
United did it with Ronaldo, Arsenal did it with Henry Chelsea did it with G*llas and Robben, won't be the first time or last
Luka is world class and we WILL miss him. I don't care what stats say but that boy is quality, he never gives the ball away and is always starting our moves and creating killer passes. If there was a stat for assist of an assist he would be right up there. He is our Xavi.
That said it looks like the little fella is going and my b et is he will be a UTD player by next season.
I think our goal should be to get us much cash and look at getting another striker. We have options of tinkering with our system and maybe play VDV in that role and invest in another striker?
Anyway will be a sad day when Luka leaves

Well perhaps I should have rephrased it to "bigger", but if you sold him to a bigger club you'd make a fortune and be able to sign Vertonghen, Remy and some other decent players to strengthen
Yeah, lets sell Bale, Walker, Sandro, Parker, Lennon & Kaboul as well. Lets get rid of all our best players & start again. Maybe we can get Jenas back to fill the void.
Jeeeeeeeeeeez.

not to chelsea
Agree with Ghost, I can see him playing for Utd but not exactly sure where he would fit in the Chelsea team - would he be Fat Frank's replacement??
Levy has already said none of our big players are going but if hes just going to sulk all summer then id rather us sell him and get in a suitable replacement then keep him and him doing a tevez for the whole season

i like jenas he is a good ambassador for the club

==================
Sounds like a plan to me
Someone posted an article the other day saying that he is the most creative CM in the league with some of the best passing stats as well. Massive loss but if we dont get CL then I will understand why he may want to leave

Ivanovic---Cahill---Terry----Cole
--------Modric-------Lampard
--Ramires-------Mata-------------Marin
----------------------Torres----------------
We need an anchor, Mikel is decent but isn't as versatile. Modric would complete the jigsaw which may explain why we offered so much for him, our midfield has really suffered to keep hold of the ball at times, unusual because apart from against Arsenal we dominate possession against any other team
Gaz
Definitely don't want him sulking, if he wants to go then let him go and get this wrapped up early doors
However, for me the complete Modric is David Silva.
They're VERY similar players, but Silva can score and assist a fair bit throughout the season... Modric cannot

really? silva and modric are COMPLETELY different types of players. !
Agree with Chronic
Modric is a more adapt version of Scholes. Silva is just an out and attacking midfielder.
silva's got to be worth about 3 modrics i'd have thought.
