Shyne10 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The formal offer was rejected by Tottenham Hotspur within two hours, but the Stamford Bridge side are expected to return with improved terms imminently.Abramovich is desperate to add more creativity to Chelsea’s midfield and reduce the average age of the club’s squad, leading the Russian and his coterie of advisers to identify the Croatian international as their priority transfer target.Chelsea’s owner is determined to press ahead with the signing despite the fact that he is yet to appoint a replacement for manager Carlo Ancelotti.Modric has confirmed in recent weeks that Spurs’ failure to retain their Champions League status came as a substantial blow to his ambitions and it is believed Harry Redknapp and Daniel Levy, White Hart Lane’s manager and chairman, now face a fierce battle to hold on to their prize asset.Sourcehttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/8578385/Chelsea-make-22m-bid-for-Tottenham-Hotspur-midfielder-Luka-Modric.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 19,053 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 A bit of a piss-take considering the sums of money changing hands for untested English youngsters these days.Then again, how depressing is it that £22m can be considered a derisory bid for a football player?

TheBoyDave 123 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is it just me or has Modric over his time with Spurs not performed consistently as he should? granted I have not seen too much of Tottenham.22 million is a lot of money but considering Andy Carol 35m ect perhaps it is the over inflated going rate.

It's impossible to even guess transfer prices nowadays with EPL Clubs.There are so many factors that make the price fluctuate nowadays. Age, potential, nationality ect.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,769 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 dont forget that the likes of phil jones and jordan henderson have been bought for their future potentialwhen man united bought smalling for 10mill, everyone laughed, but if he continues playing and improving the way he has he will be next in line for international honours once the current crop retireso effectively man united have potentially bought a future england centre half for 10mill, which is a helluva lot less than the 30mill they paid for ferdinandclubs like man united and liverpool are buying potential, i do believe however that modric is an absolute gem of a player, but he needs a creative manager at chelsea if he goes there, redknapp was good for him because 'arry likes free flowing, "we'll score more than you" type of football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,686 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Forget what Liverpool paid for Henderson and Carroll or what Chelsea paid for Torres. Without comparing the deals - that's still such a low balls offer. Modric is a sensational little player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
