Modric For Torres Swap

Image for Modric For Torres Swap

Good morning. 

I like Danny Kelly. I think the watershed moment that turned my head was THIS. And this morning he demonstrated his unerring ability to do his job well rather than just regurgitate all the usual…

Would you swap Torres for Modders? 

The addition of Adebayor I am convinced will ultimately proved to be an inspired move. Is he the world’s greatest striker? Well perhaps not as we speak. But he’s a player that evidently thrives on being given a new lease of life. Imagine a scenario were another household name were to join him.

Torres against the immediate and perhaps somewhat harrowing backdrop of his Liverpool form had a good spell one season and then went right off the boil. His £50M price tag requires not a pinch of salt but the complete suspension of ones disbelief. The figure reflected the buyers ambition, not the market value of the product.

Modric we know and indeed must accept is – barring an act of God – or a treble winning season, not stopping long. And so of all the guff that the transfer rumour mongers generate, this concoction might not have legs, but it’s difficult to deny it has a pretty face. 

I know some reading this will be unthinkingly dismissive. Buy I tell you this. If you want to predict the future just think up that which is seemingly crazy today. Garages selling ice cold beers, Adebayor and Gallas in Tottenham shirts…

BIOYC!

    By and large it’s hard to disagree with your points. I would however like to say, that Harry makes himself a target and it’s pretty much all of his own doing. If he kept his mouth shut, then it’ll be hard to dispute his managerial qualities, but he can’t. When he does speak, he tries to be a friend to all, and that’s impossible. How can a man, who supposedly has day to day contact not speak quietly to a player, does he not own a phone, does he not have a secretary or assistant?. We’ve a team of highly paid PR people to do the necessary for him, yet Sandro, VDV, Modic, blah-blah, all are in the dark?, no I don’t buy it either. Harry’s had his backside kicked recently, no question about it, and rightly so.He has to remember that it’s Spurs who pay his wages, not Sky, talkSPORT or Chelsea for that matter!

    Given how much of a wage drop torres would have to accept and the chances of his accepting it, I reckon the question is moot.

    not sure about Torres/Luca swap/swop? I think Torres will come good again (he is without doubt triffic)but possibly rotation at Chelsea does not suit him?? Think he needs to be the main man… If Luca is to go I say get in a few players instead of one who is under a cloud at the moment. I see we are linked to Banega (class player imho – whatever about his off-field hobbies) which is great news. I also think Rakitic(sp?) at Sevilla would be a great addition. So those two would be my choice :0)
