AVB on Modric

Oh well . . . . . ..

We knew it was going to happen Vis, better now then like last season when it disrupted the start. Get it done by the weekend and get Moutino in. We got to look at the positives of the move, 16.5 paid, 40 million gained, yes, he is a great player, but 4 goals a season? Sig got 7 playing for the Swans.

I suspect the Dutch defending does not match up to the prem, when was the last time a Dutch club won anything in Europe mate?

However, JV does look a class act.

I'd say £30million of the £40m we'd get for Modric will go on the Moutinho fee, he wont be cheap. It could be argued that both players transfer fees are excessive even by todays prices.

By the way, Modric is a prolific goalscorer compared to Moutinho and if we buy the Portugese international, it wont be for his three goals scored in the past two seasons for Porto.

So its a midfield of

.............Sandro .......Moutinho
....................Siggy

Front three of

.........Lennon..Addy...Bale

No VDV ?

In that case we may lose both VDV and Modric before the transfer window shuts as I can't see VDV settling for the bench.
