I don't understand why (apart from Abramovich's ego) Chelsea would still be chasing after Modric. They beat us to Juan Mata, last season and have already secured Marko Marin for next season. Neither is exactly like-for-like, admittedly - but both are low-centre-of-gravity attacking midfielders, like our boy Modders. With Lampard bound to stay on for another year, where does Modders fit into Chelsea's side and how often will he get a game? If Chelsea would give us Torres and Marin, or Sturridge and Mata, or even Lukaku and 25 million quid, I'd take the deal. Oh...and if they want Harry and di Matteo goes to Villa, then I'd want Slaven Bilic as coach, given he has already said how much he wants to coach us, is the only person, apart from Harry, that might persuade Modric to stay, anyway - and who gets Kranjcar playing like a genius almost every time he dons a Croatia shirt.

seeing the way mata played i'm glad they got him first
