as skillful as Modric is he has little end-product for a so-called creative ATTACKING player. he does most of the cute stuff in areas that do little damage to the opposition, hence low scoring-rate and low assist-rate.
if Fabregas is gonna go for 35m, a player who can do all Modric does, is younger, AND scores alot and assists on goals alot too, then Modric should be valued at around 10m less.
Levy has said publically that he wont even consider any bid for Modric, irrespective of offer-price, to look like a big bad mofo to all the Spurs fans, after being percieved to be weak after Berbatov.... therefore what Wilsonjet said about rejecting the bid cos its too low is not accurate.
Levy will sell, but only after Modric makes it hard for him not too - that way he can show all the experts what a tough-guy he is.
27m is about the right price.
STOP PRESS - Spurs make 12.3m offer....confirmed by Real Madrid... for midfielder Steve Granero.... if Sandro + Modric are gonna be the automatic choice for CM next season (with THudd, Jenas, etc as good enough backup) why oh why waste 12.3m pounds sterling on even more backup ?..
I can only conclude that the REAL business of the summer is being conducted far away from the PR-stunts of righteous indignation for public consumption.
sold by August.
