THE BBC SAYS THAT MODDERS HAS ACCEPTED HIS FATE AND IS "KNUCKLING DOWN FOR THE FORTHCOMING SEASON".

WELL PLAYED , MR LEVY!

....PROBABLY.

SEE HOW HE PLAYS.:grin:
 
Metro said:
Luka Modric has accepted that he is stuck at Spurs, who are refusing to sell him to London rivals Chelsea, and will reportedly knuckle down for the new season.

"Stuck at Spurs"?!? Really? Are they suggesting no player has ever felt "stuck" at Chelsea, not even Scott Parker, Shaun Wright-Phillips or Steve Sidwell?

Then again, what do you expect of the Mail Lite...
 
If the rumours about Pastore signing for PSG are true, then I don't think that we've seen the last of Chelsea's interest yet.
Not sure we would have anyway, even if they'd have signed the Argentinian.

The Metro suggests that they'll come back in with a bid of £40m.
 
mr. Levy
In respect of Luka Modric, we are not prepared to sell, at any price, to Chelsea Football Club or any other club.

I'll be disappointed to find out that this is not the case.
 
It'll be interesting to see what happens if Chelsea do make a £40m bid and it's rejected.
Will they just keep going higher?

£40m and Sturridge and I'd be very tempted to accept!
 
I'd agree with that, but I don't think that Levy really did himself any favours by categorically stating that Modric was not for sale at any price.
What if we were offered £100m or something equally ludicrous?
It would be stupid to turn that down.
 
I was the only one that took him at his word? I feel so used :-(

There's no telling whether any bid would be good for us so until Modric changes the situation by handing in a transfer request I don't think our stance should change.
 
Saying something is not for sale, after being offered a derisory bid, and then playing hard ball is a classic negotiating strategy. £40 million + Sturridge would be an exceedingly good deal and would allow other players to be afforded.

Let's not forget that it's them that want him, not us that want to sell.

Their need > Our desire, or need, to sell

Regretably, It's a fact of life that everything has it's price. However, in the case of Modric and The Chavs, I think the price will be a very high one!

Levy is clearly extremely pissed off with the way this whole thing has been conducted; and, IMO, will only let him go to The Chavs for silly money.

Show a little respect please, how would you like it if we referred to you as 'Spuds' etc?
There are those on here who have no manners your ill thought comments will only play into its hands.

Your lot do <ok> If it was up to me users wouldn't be able to use those terms on the respective team's board, it's not though.
 
Hmmm... this is the thread I wanted.

It's very telling that the papers that broke the "news" no longer mention it in their new articles.
