I'm in the just don't see the fuss with him camp too, granted that may change if he plays further forward, at the moment he just seems a tidy safe player.

The term world class is used far too much. 

Messi = World Class
Modric = Above Average

Modric is only world class in a Lesbian lookalike competition.
More 'Eastern European Crack Whore' than 'Lesbian'

I was about to mention something like this, surely "World Class" can only apply to 11 players.

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere yet, but Juan Pablo Angel has left LA Galaxy and gone to Chivas USA.

Is Xavi just a "tidy safe player" who should play further forward as well?

No and he's also much much better than Modric.

You're not seriously putting Modric on the same level as Xavi are you?

No, just pointing out the stupidity of deciding on how good a player is depending on how far up the pitch he plays.

Modric is over-rated.

Falcao going to Atletico Madrid for £35m. Porto apparently rejected a £34m bid from an un-named North Birmingham club.

Boldmere St. Michael's?

surely Nasri has that title sown up?

Regarding Redknapp.  A lot of spurs fans do not think he will get the money from any sale of Modric.  Not because they're skint (although that could be a factor) but because they do not believe that Redknapp will be there next summer (England job? jail?) and therefore they do not want him spending 40m+ on players that the new manager may not want.

Modric for 30 or Fabregas for 35. Did you see the stats on goals and assists last season? Modric is a decent player hyped to the hilt. Would be no more than a 15 million player at Villa.

We got £24million for Milner so I think Modric would command a lot more than £15million if a Villa player.

Well, if I was a manager I wouldn't pay £15m for him.

It always has been and always will be a mystery to me why he is highly rated.
Small, weak, lack of goals and assists. A tidy passer, yes. So what?
