How can it be wrong about considering him a Luka replacement if we're not considering him in the first place?
We could be considering him even if we haven't bid, but not as a Luka replacement. That's how I read it. Probably not considering him at all as he's overvalued.

I think so, but people mock POTL, and the others hang off every word JJetset says.

A 'small plates' menu, faux-rustic decor, vaguely Italian bar-diner vibe. Si, another new eatery in Soho, perhaps more inspired by the likes of neighbour Dehesa (Italian-Spanish hybrid) or Spuntino (faux New York Italian) than anywhere in Rome or Milan.
But wait! Before any accusations of bandwagon-hopping can be levelled, there are promising signs: the staff speak Italian, and the menu requires concentration - if not an Italian-English dictionary.
Fornata's big menu is littered with terms such as 'tramezzino' (sandwich), 'fettina' (cutlet) and 'alla Braccia' (your guess is as good as ours). Such obscurantism can sometimes be a measure of authenticity - but it can also be a way of making mundane-sounding dishes seem more enticing, more exotic.
We ordered three diverse-sounding main courses, so were surprised when three remarkably similar dishes arrived: on identical wooden platters, with the same tangled garnish of leaves and roasted potatoes; all three were variations of stuffed bread.
In each case these freshly baked bread variants (ciabatta, piadina) were exemplary, clearly recently plucked from the forno prominently displayed in the corner of the restaurant. The fillings of each were fine too: some shredded pork, crab with two soft cheeses, or endive and anchovies in a burrito-style roll.
Ingredient quality and the cooking were impressively good, even though the advertised 'beef ragu' with our crisp, saffron-rich arancine turned out to be a speck of mince in the centre of these deep-fried rice balls. Another good dish was the agnolotti - a type of ravioli - with a rich, sweet beef sauce.
The prices seem reasonable - 'stuzzicare' ('teasers') cost around the £3-4 mark, while the larger 'per mangiare' ('for eating'- as opposed to 'for steadying the table legs'?) cost £6-9 or so.
However, portions are smile-flatteningly small, best described as varying from mini snacks to big snacks. Our tiramisu cheesecake was indeed excellent and only cost £2.50, but it was also a sliver that wouldn't satisfy a bambina.
Fornata claims to serve breakfast, though on my return visit at 9.30am staff were utterly unprepared for customers and couldn't even find a menu. But this is a nice enough place for a daytime pranzo, or evening snack - and somewhere to practise your Italian.

What about the Forest in the Woods cryptic he left us with ?
That was a good cryptic that was actually solvable and not open to hundreds of interpretations. O
BBC Sports: "Modric has lunch at Fornata"
Guardian: "Modric has lunch at Italian restaurant"
Telegraph: "Modric has meeting at Italian restaurant"
Sky Sports: "SSN Sources understand Luka Modric had a meeting in Italy today"
Daily Mail: "Modric had a meeting with Juve representatives in Italy today"
Sun: "Spain no Mour!: Modric agrees personal terms with Juventus after a meeting earlier today."
Or something like that...
