I think money's important to him, Pat. I just don't believe it's his sole motivating force. Unlike some players I could mention!
"What gives you any indication that Modric will not want to move again this summer." Maybe because he got what he wanted And what gives you grounds for suspicion that he won't want to move?
He wanted a move to Chelsea, has he got that? Like Harry said, a lot of players would find it hard to reject a move where they could triple their wages. I think CL's football or not Modric will once again ask to move. I could be wrong though and hope I am.
So I guess that challenge has been ignored. A simple question for a simple person; "can you provide a substituentable and verifiable link to anywhere Modric has stated that he wants to go to Chelsea?" Surely it's not hard for a even really stupid person to answer, the answer is yes or no - if the former then do so, if the latter that retract your comment and go back to the hole from which you crawled out of. Link = credibility, no link = ridicule. The ball's in your court.
I am suggesting that this forum is for a free exchange of views, right or wrong. To engage in personal attacks on people you have never met and therefore by definition do not know is neither helpful nor enlightening. I will delete any comments you make that include personal attacks so please stick to attacking his views, his club, or anything else that you feel the need to attack, but NOT his person. This applies to ANY personal attacks you may wish to make. Thanks.
'You're making yourself look even more stupid that you normally do,' Your words, that is a personal attack. My request covers all posters not just moderators. ' someone that is a proven duplicitous and two faced liar.' THAT is also a personal attack I leave it in case you have doubts as to what I am referring to. I do not think further explanation is necessary so any further comments of this type will be deleted.
I think it's reasonable to assume that Levy and Modric really do have an agreement now. We can all speculate on what it contains whether it requires CL football, a new contract or whatever to keep him. What is certain though is that if the interested club isn't willing to start their bidding at £40mill+, then it's irrelevent because Levy will not sell.
A player may not be able to be sold at the moment Lidls, but he can still have his head turned and his season disrupted.
I hate to agree with Luke, YET again. But, he's right. There will be tempting offers made to the likes of Modric, Bale, and probably, a few others. It will be incumbant on Levy & co. To back up their words with actions that demonstrate to these players why they should stay. At this very moment, it's not relevant.Nobody is going anywhere. But, let's be realistic, come the summer the siege will begin.
Clubs that might prove attractive to the likes of Modric or Bale Manchester United (proven track record of success and able to afford them) Mancheater Pity ( able to afford them) Barcelona (able to afford them and have them on the bench) Anzhi Makhachkala (who?) Clubs that wouldn't be attractive to Modric or Bale Fulham's junior club (why go backwards?) Arsenal (why go down a league?) So - Spurs it is then.
Pienaar can f*ck off for all I care. Done jack all when he was here and now he's away he opens his gob and brings back a topic that in fairness finally died down. Prat, hope Everton or someone takes him permanently.

A lot of players would like to go there and play for Chelsea because it is one of the best clubs in the world, and so do I, I would like to play there. But we will see what will happen." I've won your challenge, whats my prize?!
