Newcastle will replace there best players with 4 or 5 old blokes playing in the MLS or some crap.

So sick of them letting there best guys go for nothing...that is why we will always be nothing more but a filler.

You've never heard of Gary Pallister?

I find it hard to believe Real Madrid would be after Modric when they already have Ozil. He'd only be there for depth...

no I dont read the British Press but I just saw his name when I googled Modric Transfer, some of those links are just crazy

Madrid definitely made an inquiry a few months back before the transfer window opened

that was probably Euros

it was actually 22mill pounds, 2 mill more than Scousers paid Henderson

they were probably just fishing

WOW way to put that in perspective! If Henderson went for 20 than 22 would buy maybe Modric's left boot, my word.

if you've seen any of Harry's quotes, some people worth 20mill wouldn't be fit to lace Modric's boots, obviously in reference to Henderson's transfer

And who did they get to replace him? A 40 year old dud!

don't feel too bad mte, we just got a 40 year old keeper

As I said a while ago in a different thread, it will take ridiculous money for the club to sell Modric.

people making out like Jordan henderson is bad, he will develop into a massive player for liverpool plus for english players you add about 30% to the transfer fee... and 20mill for modric is fine, if not a little over priced

I dont think anyone has said Henderson is no good, one cap for the poms already, just a bit of a gamble for a young bloke.

but with FFP coming in next season you have to spend that little bit extra for a top young english talent, its like arsenal, Gervinho from Lille, who was basically the best player in the double winning team will cost them about 12mill euros,

they also going for a young english kid from southampton alex oxlade chamberlain and they wont settle for anything less than 14mill for a 18yr old playing in Div 3

for some reason english players are 30%+ more on transfer fees

That new rule where you have to have a certain amount in the team + there isn't a large amount of them up to the level of being in a top team. A lot of teams are largely foreign players so they the demand is high for good young English players, they know they can get an exaggerated figure for them.
