Why not?

Sturridge is an excellent english talent who is far superior to any of your forwards. You seen what he's capable of at Bolton.

Modric, admittedly is one of the best midfielders in the world. But he isn't irreplaceable. He clearly doesn't want to be at Spurs and with 27M + whatever your transfer budget is you could re-invest in your team and also buy Vuci.

Imagine a front three of:

Bale ---- Sturridge ---- Vuci

Mouthwatering.

No thanks. I'd keep Modric.

Saint rhone, your obviously as thick as your chairman........... HE'S NOT FOR SALE!!!!! Move on and deal with it because i think your club have finally got the hint!!! ...........Anyway we were talking about spurs signings so why did Chelsea chavvy muppet stick his nose in!!!! .......RRP, Surely Levy can't start this season with no signings?

Saint Rhone. if we are making joke bids, how about ten million for Lampard and Luiz?

Don

That's harsh. This is an article about our supposed bid of 27M + Sturridge. I'm just asking an opinion. Have you even read my comment and actually thought it through?

Sturridge worth 14m so 27m too much

Spurs Girl

You make it sound like the offer is unreasonable. I get that Modric is a superb player. Im a huge fan of his but 27M + Sturridge (who's worth about 15M) is a very fair offer.

Have you read my comment and thought it through or have you just gone on the offense?

Saint Rhone. Chelsea created a riot with a stupid bid of 22 mil. therefore Levy came out and said he won't sell modric. Now if modric goes, then Levy looks a idiot.

Forget Modric. If we offered you £15m for Sturridge would you take it?

Plus Sturridge is not worth 15 million. He's ten

@ Saint Rhone, fair enough but we got talking about spurs signings and you go and mention the Modric issue............probably the 100th time in the past few weeks you have mentioned him....... you chelsea fans are obsessed though so it's no suprise

but 27m + Sturridge (who's worth about 15M) is very fair offer
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you think this daft comment through before you posted it ?? What part of he's not for sale do you not understand you dimwit ??

@ Spurcat.......... the thing is mate Chelsea fans have the same attitude as their clueless Chairman........ try and get what they want when they want and don't take a hint!!! He's not for sale and not going to you Rhone, infact i seen pics of modric recently in SA and he looks very happy mingling with his teammates

Spurcat

DDD

No. He's a very talented player who can play wide. We've got shocking wingers so I'd rather he stayed. But if we can use him to get Modric then I'm all for it!

Don

What do you expect Modric is one of the best midfielders in the world. Who wouldn't want him?

Spurcat

No need for the insults. I've been very fair and haven't insulted no one so there is no need. Let's keep it civil. And what's wrong with rating Sturridge 15M?

The rat will stay another season and then leave the sinking ship. At least spuds have peanut

Rhone, were just fed up with your fellow chelsea fans attitude to us and our club with your whole " were bigger than you so you shoudl sell" ...... don't work like that i'm afraid when we have a guy on a 6 yr contract and is our most valuable asset. Levy is a stubborn man and the noises he has made about this issue gives me massive confidence that you won't be seeing Modric in a chelsea shirt .... before you mention Berbatov....completely different as he had 1 yr left on his contract and the toss er refused to play. Won't happen wth modric

londonrentboys....

the rat will leave as and when Daniel Levy says so. not when rat says so, not when his agent says so, not when you say so. and not when chav fc say so.

of course when his contract is up he can do what he wants

Saint II Rhone

Don't preach to me sunshine. I'm bloody sure I'm going to take notice of some buffoon with a posting history like yours, who goes around posting cack like you do.

Modric is not for sale. Now bog off sonny.

--------------------------------------------------------
You had the same wingers last season and didn't need him. So are you trying to sell him cheap or trying to get Modric on the cheap?

Maybe if you wanted Modric that badly you'd have offered something more reasonable to begin with. I still think we'd have told you where to shove it though and I sincerely hope we still do.

The real question is .......
What does Modric really want to do?
If he does "want to leave" then it may be best to take 27mil plus Sturridge and let him go.
He's a good midfielder, but .... he's not THAT good.
I'd much prefer a second Sandro on the other side of the half-line, thank you!
We need a top replacement for Ledley King too, not to mention the Gomes/Freidel mess.
Think our Arry is digging a hole before the season starts! ...

to be fair if i was modric, and i was wanting to go to chelsea... and i just watched jordan henderson, a player who played in my position, go for 20 mill.. and then watch the team who i badly want to play for offer 22 mill, i think i would feel disrespected.

Shhhh ted. He's marvelous, scores lots of goals and is a pin-up boy for Rentokil. He's priceless

Ted ... we are ok. we just need to shake up the forward line. I for one think that VDV will be absolutely sensational this season.... he had no world cup, and will have had a proper rest and a proper pre season.. and he has already banged in a few in pre season. I think he will take sides apart this year.
