Not an issue, as we can realign the squad after the next 2 games (assuming we are still in it). Carroll out - VDV in. Not a bad swap?
 
Modric signed an unprecedented 6yr deal, and thats what some people failed to acknowledge at the time over his valuation, so waiting for him to get down to 1or 2 yrs is fine by me.

In an open market, Fabregas is worth £60m at least - just ask Barca how much they'd ask for to sell him. I think he has something like a £120m buyout clause.
As for cashing in, we tried to keep our best player, but he wanted to leave. Rather than keep a player who clearly wanted to be playing for another club, similar to Modric and Chelsea, we eventaully allowed him to leave.
If little Luka starts kicking up a fuss again once his contract has a a year less on it, then the £40m Chelsea offered Spurs, might have been better taken this summer.

The buyout clauses can't really determine how much a club would sell their player for, it's more an insurance policy should anyone become interested they couldn't poach 'em for peanuts so to speak, even youngsters who sign their first contracts out there have like a £10m fee inserted straight away yet I'm sure they'd be available for half the price if the club was looking/ willing to sell, agree though that on the current market Fabregas is probably a £60m player.

In regards to another year on Modric's contract to run down, he's got until 2016 so it's fair to say we can wait another 3 years atleast before deciding whether that £40m is looking more acceptable. <ok>
 
I wouldn't go that far Lidls, but I'm sure he's aware of the reasons why it happened, now.
He should've been told at the time, in my opinion, but I don't think that any damage was done.
 
Actually, Rosell has backed himself into a corner. By saying that Bale is not worth £35mm. He has, wittingly, or unwittingly, ensured that he has no chance of signing him. Levy would consider £35mm to be an insult, anyway. But, of course, as Barca don't think he's even worth that - end of story.
 
I know he's no spring chicken but am I wrong to think that when I watch VDV,he looks rather shagged out a lot of the time.
This is got to be the reason Harry subs him a lot....whether he likes it or not!

Interestingly the DM is calling Barcelona's interest in Bale and Real Madrid's alleged interest in Wilshere "...unsettling, underhand Spanish transfer tactics..."
Funny they didn't say the same thing about Chelsea's pursuit if Modric over the summer.........

That was completely different.
They were unsettling, underhand Russian transfer tactics.
 
The Mail were also getting paid by said Russian. How dare the dirty Spaniard go about unsettling a player without the Mail's help! <grr>

Barca are foreign, Chelsea aren't.

Well, apart from their owner, the money going into the club, every manager since 1996 and 76% of their current squad...

If Barce want Bale for close to £35m , they will GET Bale for close to £35m.They are absolute GENIUSs in the transfer market,as nearly everybody
playin in football would love to play for for them.They use player power to force through the transfer lower than it should be.Fabregas to Barce for £35m,Mascherano to Barce for £18m, for both of these transfers the players, were undervalued.The 2 players involved were both £10m-15m, better than the transfer fee involved in todays market

Yeah, like a club with Chelsea's deep pockets can buy anybody they like......no wait a minute. <doh>

We have no need to sell Bale and if we get Champions League football, he has no reason to go. He is part of the best midfield in the country right now and he is still young, he has plenty of time for foreign adventures. Sorry pal, you will have to dream up some other way of finishing above us, it won't be because we sell our best players.

Look at my avatar to understand why. I'd be "shagged" out every day if I were him!
