Luka Modric / Signs for Real Madrid

Can anyone confirm whether or not Glaston is an honourable person? Is he just going to welch and vanish forever when Modric leaves?
Shall I ask the same question in revesre of the two posters with whom I've agreed a wager?

I think not ...and therein lies a difference between you and I.

Yeah, I want to know if I will actually get my money, or if you will pull another of your disappearing acts.

Have you lost a bet with anyone here previously and paid up?
 
Nothing's changed: Modric will be at Spurs next season. My offer of bets remains open ... beyond the two wagers agree so far.

To be fair, As a United fan I hope you're right and he remains at Spurs, rather than make Chelsea stronger.
 
Levy got 30.75 out of us for Berba and Modric has 5 years on his contract and the market is severely inflated right now. I really wouldn't be shocked if he got 40+ for Modric and Chelsea would be desperate enough to pay it as well.

Modric wants to leave and has been specific about his destination. You better believe that he's ready for a transfer request if its needed.

Chelsea are not going to be paying double what they originally bid for him
 
Maybe we should make an offer of Carrick, Evans and Berbatov for Modric. It gives them a quality striker and defender which address their needs, abeit an inferior midfielder replacement, and improve their team. How's that?

So we go into the season with only Owen as a back-up striker? And only 4 midfielders? Nah, unless we're doing a shitload more business that we haven't heard about there's no way that'll happen.
 
This is what I'm thinking. He always pisses off for months at a time when Spurs are shit.

Wouldn't be a great surprise to see him disappear for good if he owes alot of people money.
You really are a bit of a tosser ain't ya? Spouting bollox seems to be your stock-in-trade.

So far only £30 has been bet against me, And I notice that you have not put your money where your mouth is on the very generous terms I've offered, namely that Modric will still be at Spurs next season regardless of how much is bid for him and regardless of which club wants him.
 
He and Torres together could be something a bit special, if Torres can remember how to play football again.

Modric has 2/3 assists last season,can't remember which it is but hardly going to set the world alight.He is very overated and this is not sour grapes as he is leaning towards Chelski.If we have 30 million plus to spend on a CREATIVE midfielder it could be spent much better than on Modric.
 
Im quite disapointed in Modric, i know he isnt the first player to do this but he has just signed a long term contract.

If Spurs could hold onto their best players they would but a top club.

But the fact he doesn't get the assists directly is tantamount to how they play, he spreads the defenses allowing a simple cut back/cross from Bale and Lennon, despite not getting the assist he still created the goal.

Football isn't a mathematical game.

Fergie called him the best footballer in England.
 
Why not?

You don't think it's in any way plausible that a footballer who is settled in London might prefer to stay there, given the choice?

I like Manchester but it's not hard to see why footballers from the continent might find London a better place to live. It's a lot bloody warmer for a start!

Of course I do, i've never said that. However, those quotes do not suggest that he will ONLY move to a London club. Thats the impression most of you seem to have, but I cant see why. Plenty of footballers have had families settled in different areas, it hasnt stopped them in the past though.

History of the club is not likely to have an effect on Modric. We're fans.

Money>trophies>location in that order for most footballers.

I might be being naive, but the way Harry and Modric's team mates talk about him, he doesnt come across as a man motivated by money.

What people are missing here is that there is no chance he did that interview, it would've just been discussed with his agent and a transcript passed to the newspaper.

It's obvious that if Chelsea are his best option then he'll say nice things about London. As I said, if Barca were to come in for him do people seriously think he'll be staying in London? I for one don't.


The way I see it, Chelsea are his only viable option right now, the fact that no other clubs seem to be in the mix means that he's Chelsea bound, I'm pretty certain of that. I very much doubt United would've let it get this far if they really wanted him.

I'm with you totally.
 
Any more bets and Glaston will be able to buy Drogba for Spurs, should Modric stay. :D

"I have an arrangement with the chairman. When I signed my new contract, he said that, if another club came to sign me, they would consider the offer. I won't ask for a transfer, no. That would be disrespectful. I hope they can reach an agreement that is satisfactory for everyone."

If that's his actual quote that means he had signed a long term contract with an understanding that if CFC or other club come back with an offer following summer he'll be allowed to leave and Spurs will get satisfactory compensation.

Football isn't a mathematical game.

I agree stats don't tell the full story but you would expect the creative midfielder in a top 6 premiership side that had a good run in Europe to have more than a couple of assists.
 
It's whatever your suspicious little mind imagines it to be.

I am not imagining anything. You obviously have no history of making good on lost wagers here. If you had, you would say, and I would be happy to take your money.

As it stands, I don't trust you as far as I could throw you. I would also suggest that anyone who has made a wager with Glaston demand that the money be placed in escrow.
 
So if Modric leaves Glaston has to deal with Spurs losing their best player and has to fork out £105 to United fans?

Whichever way the bet goes it'll be interesting to see who actually pays.

He will be easy to find next season,he will be the one with a rope burn around his neck and red eyes from all the crying outside white hart lane.

I hope thats a joke!

Make the bet, and find out if he'll pay later, instead of beating around the bush.

I think he'll stay in London.

Do you imagine that any poster on here to whom I'd lost a bet and then refused to pay would not have made this publicly known on Red cafe?

So if you are not going to accept my offered bet, I can only suggest you that you feck off and stop being such a tosser.
