Re: Summer Transfer Rumour Thread Pt. 3

[CBarca]

Ffs if we're getting rid of Modric it better not be for 30m. He's vital to our team and we got him on a contract until 2016, let us be Porto and squeeze every last cent out of the guys that want him. Especially if it's to be a rotational squad member.

Hate to say it but Mole is spot on with Modric as an AM. He doesn't look too great there anymore.

If Modric goes to Madrid and ruins his career...

[Onyx]

1597 - Luka Modric made more passes in the opposition half than any other player in the Premier League last season.

He created 96 goal chances for Spurs, which after Silva (104) and Mata (102) is the third best score.

More than Iniesta (33), Ronaldo (58) and Xavi (63).

Moving on to passes, it’s little surprise there are four Swansea players in the top ten with Ashley Williams leading the way with 2594 but in second is Modrić with 2534.

There is no sign of Silva or Mata however and, in fact, Modrić is the only one of the top ten chance creators to feature in the passes column.

On to crossing accuracy and Norwich City’s David Fox is top with 41.3 per cent but who is the only player to feature in this list that appears in either of the other two, let alone both?
That’s right, Modrić slips in at fourth.

GLS is right, the man has no end product.

It amazes me how many people say Modric is "overrated," "has no end product" etc. He dictates tempo, links play & he's one of the best at it

I swear I read this somewhere else lol deja vu

Anyway you're just proving my point, he's a CM not an AM.

Stat immediately deemed invalid.

Look, do we believe that at any point in his career Modric can outplay Xavi/Iniesta? if not , then this transfer makes no sense.....

[Adit]

It is easier to create chances in d0nkey league i see.

Considering Barton made 80 key passes in his last season for us i think its safe to say that lol.

Outplayed them in Croatia-Spain

In that case, Madrid don't need any new midfield player apart from the ones they already have.

Who is RM's RB? Still Arbeloa?

Both played out of position.

That's becouse I stole it from twitter But the point remains, I agree with what he says.

We have a 22 year old who has already performed at a higher level than this guy.Gago when he was 20 performed at a higher level than him.

We don't need him.

I rather Granero.

At the end of the day, he's not better than Xabi as a playmaker, he's not better than Sahin, He's not better than Ozil as a attacking midfielder.

He's a nice player who I've watched flop in multitude of big games.

We don't need him.

Extremely poor logic used there.

I think a Khedira Modric Oezil midfield will be awesome.

Wank over Iniesta who's stats are atrocious then claim Modric has no end product?

Different league, unfair to compare using stats.

[CBarca]

Both played out of position.

A point that is very fair.

Modric still rocked Spain

I really don't think your giving Modric enough credit though. He's a different player than all three of Sahin, Alonso, and Ozil. The Ozil comparison doesn't even make sense because they play wayyyy different roles.

Still doesn't make sense for RM you're right on that one though. Not exactly sure why RM would want Modric.

unfair to compare using stats.

Stats are fking retarded it's always unfair to compare using stats.

After Veratti,PSG linked with Ciro Capuano(Pescara youngster) now for the LB spot..

PSG pride of Italy

[urbaNRoots]

There's no need of stats to claim a player has no end product lol

Also the most ridiculous thing I just read Iniesta has no end product because his stats are atrocious

[Gil]

Madrid fans still thinking Modric will be a backup.

He'll play in a double pivot alongside Alonso against the midtable sides, relegation threatened dross.

Mou will play a 3 man midfield against the stronger teams with Ozil moving to RW.

Sahin has no future at Madrid. Stop pigeonholing him into fantasy sides.

Read it again.

They're both the same type of player though.

[Onyx]

Although Sahin and Modric's stats may say they both play CM's, they're different types of players imo. Sahin is closer to Alonso imo.

[Swanhends]

Still don't think Modric will go to Madrid

Edit: Sahin should go back to BVB though

[Vibe]

Ciro is the Catania LB,Marco is the Pescara CB/LB...

[kiranr]

RM to do a Spain

Khedira Alonso
Sahin Modric Granero
Oezil
