Thought Moutinho's buy-out is supposed to be 30m euro, so £23m?
That sounds a fair price to me. If we make at least £10m profit out of the Modric-Moutinho switch to direct towards forwards, then all will be good.

I see no reason why United would sell Hernandez, would seem like a pretty stupid move getting rid of a 22 year old striker with a goal every two games ratio
He isn't happy with being an impact sub. IMO that's the best way to use him, the few matches I've seen him start he's been completely anonymous.

How are they going to keep him happy as Welbeck seems to be in front of him aswell as Rooney and now RVP?
He started against Chelsea pretty well season before last! But I do agree he seems to better against tiring defenders. Still I think he'd be great for us.
Agreed - selling would be out of the quesion, imv. I believe however a season loan is far more plausible

Hernandez had that strange concussion in preseason last year. He got a mild concussion from been hit on the head by the ball. He was supposed to be out two weeks but missed a month, possibly two.
I don't think he was the same player last season as the year before. Maybe it was just a loss of confidence or maybe there is something more.

Wenger confirmed Giroud and Podolski were recruited to offset RVP's departure - intersting since Podolski signed way prior to the Dutchman releasing his statement. Unless of course both of them knew or he's simply using Lucas as a convinient excuse.
Closer to home - assuming Levy knew Modric would scratch for an exit if we didn't make CL football - is Sigurdsson his replacement, because in my opinion they're noting alike. Do we even have a Modric replacement in line or jad one at any point during this transfer clusterfudge of a window? Unless of course some believe AVB's system does not need 'a' Modric - something which is nearly impossible to accept since
- he wanted to sign him last year for his Chelsea system
- a class player can improve any football side
- you often build your team around the strongest units
So many questions, so many unknowns

Sigurdsson played as a holding midfielder last night for Iceland, Lars Lagerback seems to think he is quite useful that way. I still think that him and VDV are almost identical, as VDV could also play deep but is more utilized when playing behind the striker

its just as likely Roman wanted Modric a AVB
also - we know the player is going, have done for a long time. there HAVE to be a direct replacement - sometimes when players move on you also move on and often that means adapting formation/style of play depending on the players that are available to bring in (look at Fergie everytime someone moves on)

Now is not a time to aim for the future now is a time to just bring in someone who can do a job. I guess the same reason why harry had to bring in stop gaps.
Funny thing is we will be experiencing a very similiar window next summer with Bale maybe leaving (Although not sure to whome) I am seriously prepared for Manure to put in a bid next summer.

According to Talk Sport we have had a bid rejected for Robert Soldaldo

+1. Neither of them were available when we beat them 5-0 at the Lane.
I see we've had number of bids rejected recently (even if half of them are flimflam) - perhaps number of things should happen
- we need to aim lower since we appear reluctant to spend money on quality goods - i.e. you can't offer Hyundai money and expect BMW quality
- we need to accept the market dynamic has changed and clubs are aware of our position, hence they won't quote us cheap
- we need to pay up to get our man, much like Utd had to in the end (obviously relative to our targets, not an RVP equivalent)
