Modric to the scum

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Must have been a quiet news day for The Sun!

Levy is no mug, if United are daft enough to go for this overrated fraud, he will ensure it's closer to the money Chelsea were offering.

Modric is shite and United would have yet another central midfielder who can't score goals.

What they need is a Yaya not a lightweight who drifts left every time the going gets tough.

Remind me again how Modric has carved us apart in recent seasons?

Stick to transfer rumours, TH. Modric is top quality in the Scholes of ten years ago bracket. He's exactly what they need right now. Just because he might be going to the scum, doesn't suddenly mean he's shite. If we signed him, then everyone on here would be chuffed. I've watched him closely at our place for the last 3 seasons and he never gives the ball away, comfortable in tight spaces, always looking to play someone in, inch perfect passing ability, can drop of or make runs into the box, controls the game from the center.

IMO much better than Sneidjer and Schweinsteiger as he has premiership experience. Can't tackle for shit, but neither can Xavi or Iniesta. If they get him for 25m, then I can see one of their lot going the opposite direction. (Carrick)

Unbelievable, so you are basing your analysis on watching him against us for three seasons?

To mention him along Scholes is just ridiculous. Modric is no youngster, Scholes was doing it from the age of 20.

He is exactly not what United currently need and any United fan who does tell you that is simply lying or knows nothing about football, simply because they might be signing a 'big' name.

I've watched Modric at close quarters (live) for years, as I have with some of the very best, so please don't be arrogant enough to tell me to stick to transfer rumours.

Again, you also mention Sneijder and Schweinsteiger, football is all about opinions, but you are clearly seeing something which is not there.

He is a careful water carrier, and United will have nobody in the middle to protect him, as Parker has done.

Modric is a fantastic footballer.

It's one stupid thing to say he's as good as Silva (which he isn't) but it's even dafter to suggest he's shit.

Whilst he doesn't get the assists Silva does, he's integral to everything Spurs do and he's also surrounded by players of a lesser ability than those at United.

Modric at City or United and you would see another step up in his ability.

Whilst I do believe he would be a great signing for them, I believe they need a more defensive minded player aswell.

---------Carrick-----Modric--------

-Nani---------Kagawa-------Young-

--------------Rooney--------------

That's quite a good attacking threat. However at the same time, that is why I feel they need someone in the Martinez (never gonna happen) or M'Vila mould so that they would feature in the tougher games instead of one of the wingers and you could pop Kagawa/Valencia out wide and play a more CM of 3.

Anyway, I've heard all this Modric to Utd shit before, there's no saying it will happen and will probably turn out to be non-existent again. Sneijder-esque.

Behave!

What glue are you sniffing?

Sorry but anyone who says Modric is 'shit' is totally clueless. He is pure class and has the passing ability to dictate the midfield. He is definitely one of the best midfielders in the league. Having said that, we definitely don't need him and we should be looking to strengthen in other areas.

Modric is shte? wtf? You won't be saying that later on in the year if he signs for them, I'd put money on it

He creates nearly as many chances as Silva does and does so from a deeper position.

Utd will play him further up the pitch and his assists will skyrocket (esp with playing with Rooney rather than Defoe/Ade)

To mention Silva and Modric in the same sentence is fucking laughable!

United would not play him further upfield having also signed Kagawa.

He's a fraud who goes missing in games against top class opposition.

Barry still has him hiding in his pocket.

He's not as good as Silva but he is still a class player. What is laughable is to describe him as shite. Stick to reporting/making up transfers

And at United he will play further upfield if only for the fact that he will be playing for Utd. There will be plenty of times when Modric is played in the attacking midfield role as well.

If you are so hung up about the rags and where you think they will play him, then you must be one, personally I don't give a fook what they do, it's about City.

Logic - you fail at it.
