Modric is exactly what we're looking for, how can you not want him? Our midfield last season was pathetic, are you saying you'd take an out of form Essien or Lampard over Modric? We need someone capable of dominating midfields and dictating play, something we have missed since Ballack left
Redknapp has turned him around and got him playing like a £16 million playmaker. For my money he was one of the best players in the League last season, quite how Wilshere pipped him to Team of the Season I'd love to know
I'm actually very happy, we've marked our interest in him and I'm even more confident of getting him now
Spurs may be playing hardball but remember they're not a Champions League outfit any more. We'll end up getting him for about £25 million imo, and given Pool paid £20 million for Henderson I know who I;d rather have
We have ramires essien lamps who will all be better this year. Plus Mceachran.

Where's the guarantee of that? Lampard and Essien were playing like pub team players for the majority of last season
Add their respective ages and Essien's injury woes into the equation and that looks an even more unsafe bet
And can we please remember that McEachran is still only a teenager? He needs some regular first team football under his belt, imo a loan to Bolton would do alot of good
As I said above, the midfield last season was dire. Simply dire. After watching us plod through games totally unconvincingly how anyone can argue the midfield does not need refreshing is beyond me
Just the sort of player we need IMO.
we need players who can pick a pass not just bulldoze the opposition into submission.
we struggled to create a lot of chances against team towards the end of the season winning by the odd goal here and there but we was not playing well at all.
I'm wondering why if he's that good why Harry would entertain letting him go - at any price
IMO its not the midfield thats the problem, its the forward players, who all lack creativity, I agree that Lampard and Essien were dire last season, but Ramires and Mikel showed great promise, and I think Modric is overrated, and there are much better players out there.
He isnt going to leave Spurs this season. The six year contract he is on will mean his worth over the next five seasons means if you want him, you gonna have to pay in excess of £50m.
I dont want Modric. When has he performed against one of the big teams?

Well dont I feel like an idiot.
Gliding past our players with ease. Granted its only one match. Does he score enough though?
Benayoun!
Why does everyone always forget Benayoun? Looking forward to seeing him and Torres together again!
Lamps will be fitter and have a better season.
Ess can't be any worse than last season.
No reason why Josh and Ram should not improve.
new coach too
We should be trying to sign Pastore instead of wasting our time on Modric.
Sorry OP, but you say modric ain't good enough, but then you name yourself after kalou .
Midfied is in need of vital replenishing. Then get some wingers. Get mikel out, get Kalou out, and take out Anelka. Bring in Sanchez, Modric and Adam.
Modric only worth £35m tops, if it faisl ,go for either sneijder or pastore.
Modric - £35m....
Do me a favour - are you serious....
Gliding past our players with ease. Granted its only one match. Does he score enough though?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
He doesn't score enough, he's more of Xavi/Iniesta type of player, pulling the strings in midfield.
Except in a far inferior way
The (not in the £35m bracket) type of inferior
He is good at what he does. Stats can lie and Xavi doesnt get many goals or assists but he controls the midfield and influences the play. Modric is the type of player we definitely need.
Modric is so overrated by people on our board. 3 goals and 3 assists a season IS NOT Chelsea class. All Modric is is a good passer and we have that in Mikel. Quite frankly I'd tater see Josh rotating with Lampard. Not only is mcEachran approaching tge same age Wilshere, Rodwell, Muamba and Henderson etc. Made it into their respective first teams next season, he's homegrown and would cost 30 million less than Modric. Buying average players for that kind of price will not help the team move forward at any rate nor will help us break even - a long term target.
Josh has looked ready in all the games he's played this season and won Young Player of The Season. Then instea of seeing him move up the pecking order we might see a new midfielder that will keep him out tge team short and long-term. Plus we have PiaZon arriving in less than a year. I also think Modric rotating with Lampard will let us see a better version of Lampard as he will have rests between games, instead of starting every one
Xavi got over twice as many assists as Modric...
Mikel, a good passer.
Meanwhile, Modric stats show little if you look only at goals and assists. He is a VITAL peg in their team, and acts like a composer before a grand orchestra.
I wonder if moody is good enough to make the step up to a big club
