would say that Modric is much more valuable now than Berba was when he was sold......so I wouldnt be surprised if it was much nearer £40m at least (depending on how many other clubs put in official offers of course)

Nice one Levy. 
Tired of the media agenda behind this one. Why on earth are they pushing for a move to Chelsea? They translated an interview with Modric in Croatian as having him say he'd like to go to Chelsea, but not once was Chelsea mentioned.

HA! You're having a giraffe.
Are you allowed to buy you contract out? What's to stop everyone doing that instead of spending money on signing players
Only under 28 and only with certain time left on it.
If I remember correctly, Levy released a statement saying neither of Keane or Berbatov were going to be sold the summer they both left too.

Yep, which is why I know the above won't be the end of it.

Any more updates on arsenal? Aren't all back now. I prefer the players to be in the company of wenger than their agents.
Hoping for that miracle mega signing that makes them all stay including fab.
We can only dream lol
They can have our riff raff though

I think I would rather risk a move for Hargreaves than cole. Pay per play deal of course
Not exactly, over 28s can buy out their contracts as well.
Basically the deal is this:
Signed current deal when under 28 = must be 3 years or more into deal
Signed current deal when over 28 = must be 2 years or more into deal
Now in the case of Modric, he signed his current deal in summer 2008 so will be eligible to buy it out this summer. He signed a six year deal so would have to pay 3 years salary to Spurs (and possibly a portion of his original transfer fee, not sure).
However, supposedly there is a "gentlemen's agreement" amongst top clubs that they won't exploit this rule to bring in players from other clubs. Obviously with Spurs not being a top club however, this may not apply, theoretically Chelsea could give Modric £10m quid for him to buy out his Spurs deal or whatever.
