My first introduction to the new forum style. Tapatalk seems pretty much the same (apart from being able to see who gives reps) and this seems....pretty much the same, you whiners. Serious question: what is the lowest price you would sell one of Ozil or Modric to ManU (assuming we sign Bale)?
That's a tough one. If I'm Floro, it would have to be eight digits and start with a '6' for me to even consider selling Özil. Probably €50m+ for Modric, only because he turns 28 in less than a month. Then again, I think he's probably more important to this team than anyone not named Cristiano Ronaldo. I can't imagine I'd sell either. How about this: I don't think there's a compelling argument that Bale is worth more than Mesut.
If we get Bale, we have to move someone. Likely Di Maria. Ozil and Isco can split time in the middle.
AVB on Bale's mental state: "Nobody knows because the player doesn't speak. The only thing that we are able to see or you are able to see is the player arriving in and out of the training ground."
Neither would be for sale. The smallest sum I could start talking about either would be Bale level prices, and even then, I'd rather have both Modric and Ozil over Bale. There is nothing to talk about with these 2.
I would not sell Modric or Özil. At all, not even considering it. There is no amount of money. Modric has been the best player of our pre season, and Özil is a magician.
Andre Villas-Boas rules Gareth Bale out of Spurs' first three games as stand-off increases over forward's future So now he's not going to feature in any of the games Spurs have this month? Damn shame it's gotten to another Modric case. IF he finally comes best not to expect him to really play a part in our games until what...late September/early October? He'll need to be eased in.
The irony that Tottenham fans complain about this. They've yet to notice this is the trend with every single sale; this isn't a Real Madrid thing it's a Levy theme. I think that is the best for him, the club and the other players. We shouldn't rush him, let him gain fitness and sub him after time to allow him to gain match fitness. That way we can retain our current lineup at least for some time before there is any shuffling.
