    The first question is about the six players they're selling: Who are they and, leading to the more important second question, who can meet their wage demands?

    At that point, you then wonder how Frank(ly he ran out of talent three years ago) Lampard will fit into the first team of Barca, Real, Milan, Inter, or anyone else that isn't a Premier League club that will doubtless enjoy mining half a season from Drogba, or proving how stupid they were to sell Alex whilst keeping Terry and Bosingwa.

    Selling Drogba would be an error - especially if he spends half the season at a Premier League club, costing Chelsea their Europa League spot - whilst everyone seems to be in agreement that Alex (like Carvalho before him) is their best centre back so should be the one they keep at all costs, but instead they'd rather placate John Terry's ego and subject themselves to his usual machinations.

    Of course, if they sell Drogba, Anelka and Kalou, you can guarantee Sturridge will get injured, and Torres' return form will be like Liverpool's return to title-winning ways: "There's always next season..."

    Modric > Drogba + Anelka + Kalou + Bosingwa + Ferreira + Alex

    Having said that Arsenal would do well to get 2/3 of those players (Alex and Kalou especially) so that they actually have a squad...

    They'll also have a Top 4 place - at Chelsea's expense...

    Hopefully we'll still be ahead of them in January, at which point his desire to go there might begin to wain, particularly if we wave over a £100,000 a week at him.

    To be honest, apart from Ferreira I wouldn't mind any of them. Alex is the only one I'd see as having a shout at a first 11 spot and given that they'll all be on inflated wages at Chelsea, unless they take a cut I can't see them being worth it.

    If it's a quiet january, like we have had in the past, they would struggle to sell six good players, let alone the overpaid dross thay are trying to get shot of. Another whimper from a team that once roared.

    It would be great if Harry used those exact words in a live post match interview wouldn't it?

  16. We won't be selling Modric this January. Or Bale, or Walker, or any other first-choice squad player.

    We are in the driving seat in the EPL's second spot. It is ours to lose. Moddy will see that, and so will his agent. We are the team in the ascendency, and all of our best players are loved and cherished by both the club and us. They and their agents would be utter fools to even think about orchestrating a move in January.

  17. Oh, by the way...

    ...don't you simply love the smell of desperation emanating from the Chavs at this point in time?
    <laugh>



    We've got Moddy, and you haven't!

    HaHaha!!

  18. Little Luke, Little Luke, Little Luke...

    Your wishful thinking is letting you down, my old Spurs-o-philic friend.

    You and I both know that when Levy says that Moddy is not for sale "at any price" it means just that. He paid £50 million for a flop. What will he have to pay for a nailed-on success?

    Levy would be selling a player to our closest rival for 3rd spot, that would make them stronger and us weaker.

    Please, mark these following words very, very carefully...



    IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.




    There! It's all sorted for you.

    We turned down £40m in the summer and could jeopardize a good shot at Champions League football by selling Modric to Chelsea.
    What price do you think would now tempt Levy to sell, Lidls?

    Maybe they could buy Carrick, instead?
    He's always after a game or two in the Champions League, isn't he?

    As I have mentioned before on this forum as soon as we become remotely successful the media hacks- we know who they are- start linking our best players with clubs who usually don't need or haven't even considered them.
    Giving fuel to the Modric saga just keeps them busy for another month or so.
    So I would suppose that it will keep rolling until January is over, by that time the focus might well be on the teams wearing red not blue.
