AVFCforever1991 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Modric is worth at least 30m IMO. If Fletcher is going for 13m, then Modric should go for AT LEAST 30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I can't believe that Spurs are going to deal at £26m having being asking for £40m. Not how Levy does business. I could see him going for £30-£32m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Depends on what Modric has said. He has made it perfectly clear he wants to play for a club who have a realistic chance of winning the Champions League and he has already given Spurs the courtesy of staying for one more season when Chelsea were in for him last summer. At some point you have to realise that you are over a barrel and you have to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It will be the clauses. Ask a Villa fan what we paid for Darren Bent and the answer is £18m. Ask a Sunderland fan and the answer is £24m. I'm sure there are clauses in the Modric deal which Real Madrid will have to shell out for, but I am also sure there are some clauses in there which exist purely within media headlines to keep fans of the selling club (ie, Spurs) happy. It's another reason why I wish that football clubs were forced to disclose the details of their transfer deals though. To go of on a slight tangent, it would certainly help remove a lot of the corruption from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
