Modric was out for a jog. He did alright on the ball but barely did anything away from it. I stick by my original assessment. 35M plus a player and a loan is a doer. Can't say no to 40M for sure. That's way over the odds for Modric if Nasri, Fabregas, and Sneijder are going for less. Like Marcellus Wallace says, "That's pride f**kin witcha. f**k pride!" Levy should swallow his and take advantage of Abramovic's. Yes, it is absolutely too late in the window. BUT the offer will never be anywhere near this high again. Once we come to the realization that he's not going to play for us, we'll have to give him away (relatively speaking). Can't wait to do this deal in January.
I still do not think we will sell, but I am beginning to think that could be a huge mistake. Pocket the cash. Secure Leandro in January and start recruiting replacements (Montelivo from Fiorentina?)
