According to Caught Offside:- "Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas will make a double raid on Tottenham with a £60m bid for midfielder Luka Modric and the left-sided Gareth Bale." If the Chavs make another bid for Modric, surely that's tapping up? Levy has told them he's not for sale, at any price, and that we will not entertain any offers. To offer £60 million for the two players that make our team work is not only an insult, but is clearly aimed at doing nothing than putting us off our stride. They cannot get away with this.
60 million? Is that the 50% deposit? They are clutching at straws. Villas Boas will surely look towards Europe for his new signings!
More of the usual bollocks. But, of course, it's not always Spurs players that this garbage gets printed about, is it??
I think the £22m figure was derived from Luka's agent and the figure is purely based on the minimum to buy out his contract. It doesn't take into consideration player 'worth', market value nor supply & demand
The Chavs (read abramovich) probably thought that their little campaign of tapping up using the Fail would get them Modric on the cheap.
