Madrid might even leave Modric alone if the country goes in the tank.
We have some very shrewd cookies on our part.
I'm not the biggest fan of Modric, don't get the hype, but he could maybe do that role alongside Yaya?
Give them £30m plus Adebayor and give Spurs something to think about.
He would be great in rotation with Barry alongside Yaya and now Twitcher is no longer a factor there might be room to move there. But surely Ade's wages would still be a factor in any deal he is part of?

I just don't see how a man used to playing as a lone striker and 'big fish' is the man to suddenly catapult us to glory (i.e doubles and trebles). Especially if he's in the treatment room or unable to adjust to our system.
A player like Schweinsteiger, that would complete the jigsaw in terms of starting XI imo. An attacker with pace, a youngster who could be brought on as an impact player would also be of benefit.
But there's a lot of risk around the RvP transfer and with the four strikers we have, i'm not sure that is our main area of concern.

Well Spurs would also have £30m in cash to help subsidise them.
As it is, Modric clearly has his heart set on Madrid.
If the Spanish economy reaches such a boiling point, that it is perceived as obscene to spend it in footballers, City should be shopping at Madrid and Barcelona, not the Tottenham Court Road!

Source is from another thread where someone (forget who) mentions we've signed someone on a 78k per week contract..

If Van Persie is recruited, we won't retain the four strikers we have. If anything, Mancini was ready to sell Tevez and Dzeko at one point.
Just imagine how good Van Persie can get with the players we have, the rotation policy we can afford him.
He is technically brilliant and I will keep stressing it, because it's the most important factor, he is highly-motivated to win trophies.
For Champions League games, especially away ties, he can play up top on his own and we go with extra insurance in midfield.
He ticks every box.
