If we sell Modric to another prem rival, then it has to be top dollar, but don't think we would get more than 35 mill for him. If it is to a club on the continent 25 mill would be more like the amount we should expect. I would rather he stayed because he took some responsibility for us not finishing 3rd. (he is a great player but does not score enough goals, and needed to craft more chances for others to score).
Again we are slow moving in the transfer market. If we are going to sell these players we should be making some top signings before we let the likes of modric go. If we went out and bought a quality midfielder first, it would be a statement of intent and says to Modric, we don't need you anymore but if you want to stay, we are going places. But this does not happen.
Where is the striker we have been desperate for. We should have bought someone before the end of the season and the Euros, knowing the contract would go through on the 1st July. (unfortunately, like our rivals). I would love us to sign Huntlelaar big, strong, great technique and scores goals for fun, but after the Euros that will never happen.
