The Official Luka Modric Thread

[El Chelsea Fuerte]

July 7: Luka Modric will not put in a transfer request according to his agent

July 10: Modric claims he wants to go and that tottenham broke an agreement

To be continued...

Well now it's pretty obvious that Modric will leave, whether it's for Chelsea or someone else. If we do sign him then we can expect a 4-3-3 with him, and he would definitely prove to be a valuable asset.

Although, AVB surely knows how to use Sneijder the right way. I think with AVB you can get Sneijder in good form.

I think you should go for Sneijder and if he doesn't want to come you should get Pastore.

[theaguia]

well modric loses out, he could have become a legend. Moutinho here we come(i hope) and pastore too

based on the prices and ages we should go for pastore first

we dont need moutinho, pastore is enough

[theaguia]

moutinho is playmaking cm like modric, pastore is an am, pastore will suck at cm atleast for a year or so.
if you have to choose one i would go for moutinho
becuse we can get him for 18 mil, he is less injury prone(and not as frail as pastore) he had a super season, he can be a sensation he is very underrated i tell you if no one buys him now he is going to leave next season for atleast 30 mil.

Honestly i think we need both but thats just my opinion

Pastore will not be used as a Cm at the club, he will be used say at the tip of the diamond type of position. That's what we need, we do not need another attacking cm like Modric and Mou because of Torres. That being said, we only should buy only one player like that, there's no point in spending more than 60m in that position.

[iNFINITY9910]

I'd wait for the formation tbh... cos if its a diamond type then it should be Pastore... or else Moutinho would do fine i guess... but I have to admit that I don't know much about both these players.

[theaguia]

pastore is way overprized

[El Chelsea Fuerte]

pastore is way overprized

He is, but that's the market for you.

[theaguia]

well he is overprized beyond inflation levels. i honestly wish no one buys him at a high prize so then he leaves for like 15 mil and zamp can learn a lesson

[Blue]

I really doubt Chelsea is interested in Pastore, because Zamp mentioning Chelsea interest seems like a ploy to inflate Pastore price.

[theaguia]

it is ambra needs to go and kick his ass

[iNFINITY9910]

Moutinho is a safe bet kinda... cos AVB knows his strengths and weaknesses as well.. not overpriced either.

[theaguia]

exactly my point

[Blue]

With Essien injury, i believe signing Modric should be Chelsea #1 priority.

[theaguia]

nah not modric pastore or moutinho
the link infinity posted explains the reasoning behind this

Moutinho is similar to Modric who can play as a CM deep in midfield, but if we were to sign a Trequartista like Pastore then another CM is needed.

[theaguia]

no, i have watched him closely for porto he plays as an am an for portugal as deep lying playmaker he is good enough to play both

[Kick]

I am all for Moutinho, he would be the best and cheapest option.

I have no doubt about the formartion: it will be a 4-3-3, Which means Moutinho would be the better option, of course Modric would be the best but Moutinho would mean Lampard still gets loads of playing time and Moutinho will have time to adjust unlike Pastore would (no one to replace him)

[El Chelsea Fuerte]

Moutinho is an attacking midfielder right? What style though? Lampard style...Pastore style??

[theaguia]

he is deep lying as well as acm. He is a mixture of both not afraid to tackle yet keen to create

[Kick]

So more lampard.

IMO, Moutinho-Mikel-Lampard Midfield would rip weaker teams to shreds.

So like Essien in terms of where he can play?

Is he good defensively?

[theaguia]

better than one would think

[theaguia]

a super sexy moutinho video i found please check it out it is great

Ps: it also shows some of his defending quality at 1:33-1:42
