In what way is signing a player who "doesnt do much apart from get stuck in" a good move as a replacement for Modric?

diarra will tighten up their defence a lot, he is a faster version of mascherano.

the money you get for modric will enable you to buy a world class striker, which is what spurs need badly more than they need modric.

BBC and Canal+ has reported that Nasri's talks with Man City Broke down. He is now likely to stay at Arsenal 1 more year.

Can't see anything on BBC :confused:

You really need to stop basing your assessments of players on FIFA.

Also, if Spurs get £35m for Modric, tell me what world class striker they can sign for that?

Not to mention the gaping hole in midfield they'd then have

Gaping whole what?

Bloody iPad and it's predictive text :mad:

I meant If Spurs sell Modric, they'll be left short in midfield let alone up front

I beg to differ. I'm coming around to the idea of flogging Modric as we're more than covered in that area.

if niko didn't run like he had treacle under his boots, i would have no fear of losing modric as the bloke is class. we wont crumble without modric, it might even pull us togethor.

Kranjcar was fine until he started playing less. A bit of regular play time and he'll be fit enough.

Really? Huddlestone, Jenas, Sandro, Diarra (if he signs), Palacios (if he stays) all much of a muchness there IMO (some a lot worse than others). Unless you can convert the likes of Kranjcar or VDV into central midfielders?

Nasri played a full game, reports out of france saying man city deal has fallen through...

I hope not. If he stays and signs a new deal then great. But if he stays and collects his wage and then signs for free in January I would be mighty peeved.

Sell him!!!!!!

I'm happy with any of Huddlestone, Sandro and Kranjcar being the preferred pairing in the centre, with some good talent starting to come through in the form of Livermore and Townsend.

But should Modric go, I'm sure there are plenty of other, cheap options which can be brought in also.

Joe Cole?

DM: Sorry to break it to you

"There is no chance I would walk away", the Arsenal manager said.

As he isn't going to leave we might as well get behind him and our positive thinking will help the team perform better

Aguero was £35M so was Tevez, so was David Villa.

Offer it to the likes of Inter who made a £65 million loss, im sure they would take it for Etoo or offer £20M for Milito.

Inter really need cash.

And Eto'o etc will be on more than double the wages of Modric. Not that they'd be likely to want to join Spurs anyway.

As others have said, this isn't Football Manager or FIFA.

if you want a world class player you need to pay those types of wages, if they sell crouch, pavy and any other duff striker they have (keane has gone too), they could put those wages towards another player
