Bwah we get so many of these "get ready it's going to kick off" moments over the summer, can't recall any that actually happened.

It has nothing to do with his position within the squad. We have been fortunate that Walker has progressed. If he hadn't, Corluka would still be our #1 RB. But that isn't the point in the slightest. He was Tottenham's #1 RB for 3 years, he was Leverkusen's for 6 months and he is a central figure in the Croatian national team. My question wasn't "Which 3rd choice journeyman can we pick up for ?6m", it was who can you find with Charlie's experience, in the prime of his career with plenty of time to run on his contract for such a cheap price. Give me some names of proven CL players, mid twenties who are a given to start for their national team that cost six million quid please.

I've pretty much accepted Modric is going. Levy did brilliantly to keep him last summer, but I don't think he'll get his way again this time. I reckon he'll go to Real Madrid.

Its on, will be completed the weekend.
Jan and his agent are bluffing Ajax as they know the player has to go this window as Ajax can not afford to let him leave on a free.
The press are just rehashing comments made last week to make up a new story.
Jan will be done and dusted, along with Glyfi and AVB the weekend when all 3 will be announced and the new shirt will be displayed to the public for the 1st official time

He played great at the Euros which raises his stock even higher.
A year less on his contract.
We all know players eventually get their own way.
I hope I'm wrong but I'm worried that one of the main reasons that Levy said no to Modric last summer was because of who it was approaching. If it was a club that wasn't one of our biggest rivals, I'm not so sure he would have been so defiant.
Redknapp was able to settle Modric down after the transfer window closed and all the speculation died down, will the next manager be able to do the same?
One year less of it to run. So no significant difference.
More to the point, I'm not sure that it's a case of Levy not getting his "way again this time". He made his point last summer and was true to his word. Power struggle won. I suspect that he will be happy to sell Luka this summer for a high price - especially if it's to a club like Real Madrid. Means that Luka won't be going to PL rival and it also puts us in pole position to sign any player that might be surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu, should we want them.

Hardly a proven CL player, the guy has played less than 10 CL proper games. Simply playing CL games doesn't make you 'CL Proven'
For a player with his athletic limitations, ?6m is a fair price. A good deal for both teams. The 'name a player' argument is stupid, because nobody knows the value of any player until you ask the club.
I like Corluka and he's a good player, but no more. He is a decent defender with good positioning, but athletically challenged which massively limits him. You talk about him as if we're selling Philip Lahm for ?6m.

I agree with this, but I also think if Levy doesnt want to sell he wont. If he does go it's simply because Levy has decided to sell, not because Modric got his way.

It's not simply because of that, but I think it's the whole combination of things. We'd be extending the deal of a declining performer who may not fit into the new tactical system, rather than signing someone for less money, making a profit on the deals and someone who has his best years ahead of him.
If it's AVB, I don't think Rafa has the pace to play in the top 3, and I don't think he is best a lot deeper in the middle 3. It makes a lot of sense to me. I could be well wrong, and I love Rafa as a player, but I think he was much more suited to Harry, who would play him just off the striker and be the main attacking fulcrum, as opposed to potentially a new manager that prefers pacy attackers being the main support to the central man.

Yeah, I don't see why people say '1 year less' as if it makes all that much difference.
If it's 2 years left, then it makes a difference. It's the last summer that the club can charge maximum price and get full value, because if they hang on another year they risk losing the guy for nothing. 5 years to 4 years wouldn't make that much difference to the club, and I'm sure if Levy really wanted to dig his heels in again he could.
But it could also make sense to let him go now, because it may be hard to extract the same level of motivation for someone that feels he had 'given the extra year' and now will well and truly be distracted, and also because if we can get Sahin in plus 30 mil, that represents excellent business and allows us to really strengthen the team in all sorts of other areas too.

Lol...I'd love it if we unveiled Moutinho tomorrow, and made no announcement on a manager.
Even though it would be blatantly obvious who it is by that point, it would just be hilarious to see our club website still doing everything 'by the book'. And to see some papers still say 'Levy is still considering a swoop for Wigan boss Roberto Martinez, or former England coach Fabio Capello' for example.
Not that those managers wouuldn't want Moutinho, but...yeah.

If the 25m + Carcalho + Sahin for Modric rumour was true I think I would be happy with that.
That buys us a top class striker, gets us a replacement to Modric (perhaps not the same but still quality (and younger)) and adds depth to the defence, over all that leaves us stronger.
And I think for it to be worth our while in selling Modric it has to be a deal with that sort of benefit

all this means nothing IMHO.
i think that if levy wants to sell HE will sell, if he doesnt then it wont happen.
i have a feeling he is more than willing to sell if he can get certain guarantees , money and players. in the end everyone win in that scenario. but only if he wants to sell and we arent bullied into doing so.
