Surprising that there has been no fresh bid since last Friday/Saturday, been a very quiet week with regards to Modric

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Modrics a cock-teasing, glory-hunting, Russian-loving deserter...
I can't see him coming to us
I can't see him coming to us
I covered all of those points, if you actually read the post you'd see the "the only thing that Spurs have going for them" bit is purely in relation to the the 3 factors I listed separately that would define the value of the transfer relative to the value of the Torres and Rooney transfers. I even explained it point by point, how have you managed to be so monumentally wrong about something so obvious?
These:
Do you honestly think Modric is a better player than Rooney or Torres or Spurs are a bigger club than Man Utd or Liverpool? If you don't then you can understand why it's likely Modric would go for less than either of those two?
I'd say you've (for the third time in one post no less) spectacularly missed the point, I mentioned £35m purely because someone else had further up, my original post suggested £40m as fair in the current market for instance.You say: "£35m for someone at their peak like Modric really isn't massive".
I say: 35m?Jog on.
A cheeky bid for Alacantara please. Levy can feck off he'll cost an arm and a leg.
The real point, one that you so spectacularly miss is this: Levy doesn't give a flying feck what is supposedly a "fair" price in this instance.
He doesn't wish to sell, doesn't need to sell and has has pretty much staked his all on not selling.
40m is just pissing in the wind ...
A hypothetical situation....if spurs were open to bids what according to you would be the "right price" for modric ?
Wow that's a sensational deflection
We both know Levy talks a lot of shit then sells them for £10m more than their worth 2 days before the deadline leaving his manager up shits creek without a midfielder to paddle him out. You can say what you like but everyone has a price, if Fernando Torres can force a move from Liverpool then Levy has no chance of keeping Modric.
I've already said: IMO 50m would be the minimum starting point for negotiations.
Curious then, that so far only 4 caftards have taken up my bet offer ... care to join their ranks?
Morrison and Pogba can be as good in midfield as Modric easily but wont really be ready to make a huge impact for a while. Signing a player like Modric might stunt their progress a little but maybe we need a player like that now to complete the team.
Modric could easily get a role as an elf in the new Hobbit movie if he fancied quitting football

In this instance?
Wait, what? A £50m starting point...for Luka Modric?
'kin hell. Do you honestly believe that?
Whats the bet? I might take you up
Yes.
The instance being that Modric is the key player at Spurs, that he was arguably the best CM in the Prem last season, that Spurs have no financial need to sell, that Spurs have high ambitions of their own and that Levy has publicly pledged not to sell (and I quote) "at any price".
That's a lot of "instance" IMO ... don't you agree?
I don't think Modric will leave this summer. Spurs seem reluctant to sell, and with a 5-year contract Modric isn't in a good position to force a move.
He'll have a season playing at about 70-80% of his ability, looking slightly like he doesn't want to be there, and he'll move next summer when they don't reach the CL again.
I can't see United or Chelsea breaking the bank for him. He's class but not top notch.

Simply that Modric will still be playing for Spurs this coming season, regardless of how much is bid for him and regardless of which club may bid.
Glaston has completely lost it.
Barca are trying to sign Fabregas for under £30m but apparently the minimum starting point for negotiations over Modric is £50m.

Ok you're on. £10.
Wait...by coming season you mean from the first fixture of the PL, or pre-season?
Unllike Levy with Modric, I haven't heard Wenger or the chairman of Arsenal unconditionally promising not to sell Fabregas this summer - have you?
In any case, and as I keep trying to convey to the muppets on here, it's not about fairness or what player X is - or is not - worth.
By the time the transfer window closes surely?
As for the bet, I'm hardly going to share personal details with someone to collect a tenner am I?

I mean that after the close of this summer's transfer window Modric will still be a Spurs player.
Levy, a God amongst people.
If he sells Modric for £60m - £70m like you suggest then I might have some stuff for him to sell for me.

Unless you mean £50m as a starting point from Spurs perspective, like they say £50m, Chelsea say £20m and they meet halfway.
You're the 5th.
What do you mean?
You'd only have to supply your home address, full name, date of birth, National Insurance and Passport numbers, bank account sort-code and account number, plus credit and debit card numbers, expiry dates and security codes ....
That's not much to ask is it?
hehehe I just meant that when purchasing from Levy, United never get a fair price.
47 Ha.... hang on.
What's this wager currently worth? The last time I checked I think it was about £105
No chance he is leaving Spurs
Levy is batshit crazy. I would say 45-50 mil would be the minimal fee.
There's a well known scam whereby a fella offers a bet and convinces a bunch of different people in a pub to take him on for relatively small stakes; say he gets twenty people to bet against him at £5. If he then goes on to lose the bet, he fecks off sharpish without paying the £100 he owes; sneaks off, runs, jumps in a car or whatever, never to be seen again. If he wins the bet however, even if 50% of the crowd (already populated by likely more honest types than the scammer himself) welsh on him, he still collects the £50 from the ten who think that fair is fair and pay what they owe.
This particular scam translates beautifully into an online situation; the scammer needn't ever worry about having to make any sharp getaways; with no risk to himself whatsoever, if he loses he simply logs off. Play your cards right, talk the talk, and you might get 1,000 people or more across one, or perhaps even a series of message-boards to make a £10 bet with you, and though you'd never have any intention of paying a penny, win the bet and that'd be 1,000 e-suckers out there who might potentially paypal you £10.
The beauty is, if you make your money, nobody has any clue that he/she was the victim of a scam, and if the bet is lost and you disappear into the cyber-wastes, the most that will happen is that a load of people who don't even know you think you're a twat.
I'm not saying that that's what Glaston's up to, in all likelihood he's honest and straight-up, I'm just saying that, well, that's what he'd want you to think, wouldn't he?

Yea, I'd be wary about going into bets with anyone on a forum, especially Glaston. It's not like he misses out on much by fecking off forever, seeing as this is a Man United forum and he spends most of his time here being laughed at.
Why wary? If he wins and we pay him, no big deal, if we win and he doesn't pay we lose nothing? If we win and he does pay we gain? What is there to be wary about.
You have a very strange way of looking at wagers.
Not really, I can be pissed off that he wasn't a man about it and did a runner, but I don't lose anything in any way. It hasn't cost me out, there's no risk involved. Don't understand what there is to be wary about.
If I lose, I'll pay him like a man, if I win and he pays I get paid, if I win and he does one, I'll laugh at him for being spineless and go about my day having not lost anything.
Other than your winnings.
