dudevillaisnice Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Cesc saga continues (he admits he is frustrated but will stay at Arsenal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Only place he'll go is Barcelona and Barcelona can't afford him. He'll have to stay unhappy unless Barcelona succeed in raising more funds. They're trying to sell off some of their squad players but I don't think they'll be able to meet Arsenal's valuation, and Arsene will not sell for a penny less.

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 cant believe Vincente is a free agent! He was brilliant about 3/4 years ago. a genuine world class player in 2004 and only a nasty run of injuries prevented him being a superstar. Probably Valencia best player in last 20 years wth Mendieta and Canizares what about david villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah... any idea how long his contract has left? I'm no Arsenal fan but I hope he stays personally, great player in the premier league but if he moves he'll move solely to win things (imo) must be tough though, grew up with the likes of Pique etc and seeing them win CL and La Liga this year..

Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 He still has quite a few years left on his contract. He signed a ridiculously long one originally, 7 or 8 years I think. I'd imagine he has at least 2 of those left, probably 3 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think Man U want him too so it could be a bidding war. I don't think Levy could turn down serious money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 16, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2011 Modric will be a bidding war and at some point his head will be turned i.e. he'll go from not being bothered about leaving to being bothered about staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ultimately Spurs knew or even hoped this would happen, they could end up selling him for twice what he cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 16, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2011 But as he's irreplaceable for a club like them, barring a minor miracle, then all that happens is a marginally richer Spurs fall a little down the table. They really won't want to sell. I've heard that if they do, he'll go to Chelsea because Levy hates Man Utd with a passion to the point that he'd accept a lower bid from Chelsea.

I don't think he's irreplaceable. Finding a player of his specific type would be difficult but they could get a quality midfielder, who may cause a bit of a change in the team dynamic alright, as well as signing a top class striker and they may even become a better team. Modric however will excel at a club at the very top where he can really control things with the amount of possession he will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may do. But it doesn't change that they mightn't, and the only guarantee is they'd be losing arguably their best player. Modric however will excel at a club at the very top where he can really control things with the amount of possession he will get. No argument there. I suspect it's why the top teams want him.

Genie Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The fact that Chelsea are bidding £22m for a player despite not having a manager shows exactly how they do business at that club and who makes the calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
