The_Rev Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Rumours of United being interested have been about since RVP made his statement last week. I cant see why they wouldnt be interested in a player of his quality, and I dont think they need to get rid of Wayne Rooney to make it happen either.

Zatman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 united seem to be in market for a striker and have been linked heavily with Lewandowki for 20million better to buy RVP who is probably available for similar fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 14, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2012 Rooney and RVP could be an awesome combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thiago Silva to PSG is a done deal.. With Ibrahimovic too. Milan have suddenly become a very, very average team. Eh? Been reading conflicting reports, apparently Ibrahimovic's deal still hasn't gone through because of some disagreements with the player himself. Not sure what to believe on this one. Regardless, could mean a shift in power away from the Italian league to the French one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Marca seem really adamant that Modric will sign for Real Madrid and that it will be made official soon. Not sure what to make of it really, quality player but the price going around is just too much for him imo. (40M euros) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah the price is ridiculous. I rate Modric highly but for me he isn't worth a penny over 25 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 £31 million is not too much for Modric considering other transfers in recent seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I real terms Modric should be worth about 15-20 million. He's technically gifted but he doesn't change many games directly does he? Football's beginning to annoy me with these over exuberant transfer fees for players who aren't actually great players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Interesting about RvP. My boss saw him having a meal in Hale a few weeks ago and I'd assumed he was probably speaking to City representatives but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah the price is ridiculous. I rate Modric highly but for me he isn't worth a penny over 25 million :shock: If I were Mourinho/whoever does the transfers at RM I wouldn't have any qualms about paying 40 mill pounds for him, he's that good imo and far more important to Spurs' play than Bale and (to a smaller extent) VDV.

Mr_Dogg Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I real terms Modric should be worth about 15-20 million. He's technically gifted but he doesn't change many games directly does he? Football's beginning to annoy me with these over exuberant transfer fees for players who aren't actually great players. He controls games but he's not a game changer as such. His performance vs Spain probably made the whole of Europe sit up and take notice. He's a great player, the price is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I just think there are a lot of players I'd rather spend 30million on that Modric. I think Spurs will get a better replacement for a cheaper price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 surely if was better players for cheaper Real Madrid would be signing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 For the prices quoted they could probably get Moutinho who IMO is a better player. And Legov I agree Modric is a great player but I don't think he justifies the massive price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I agree with Legov, Modric is top quality. He will go from strength to strength at Madrid. Fantastic player who was responsible for Spurs recent success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieZ Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 In Yank news, Michael Bradley to Roma is officially a done deal. Geoff Cameron (Houston Dynamo) to Stoke City still in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Another week, another summer soundbyte from Quitter O'Neill. "You do have until the end of August," O'Neill told BBC Newcastle. "But ideally it will be better if we had the players in place a little bit before the season starts." Did'nt he say the exact same thing every summer for us as well? I wonder if he has a pre-prepared statement he can wheel out at exactly the same time each summer, to cover up for the fact that he will dither around until August 31st again.

Toela65 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Liverpool's next signing will be one of the reliable people are saying: Joe Allen Lewis Haltby - Schalke Clint Dempsey Made approaches for all three I'm told, but no idea of preferences. I'd be surprised if all 3 were signed. Don't watch German football so no idea about Haltby but if anyone knows anything about him please offer an opinion please.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I just think there are a lot of players I'd rather spend 30million on that Modric. If you're Real Madrid, money is no object and your specific need is a Xavi-esq string puller entering their prime? Name them please. Modric is top, top class and has been for a while now. I'd love to see Spurs try and replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
