£31M Release Fee For Mooted Modric Replacement

Image for £31M Release Fee For Mooted Modric Replacement

Good morning.

Ten days to go, a new manager at the helm and yet we’re scratching for transfer news. The Mirror are taking a punt by naming Bentley, *****, Gio, Bassong and Gallas amongst those who Villas-Boas isn’t interested in keeping on.

Bentley’s linked with Fulham. Apparently Bentley’s knee is fixed now and he’s ready to rock. Judging by this image from the preseason, it was the steak and kidknees that he has really been been battling against.

The Modric and Adebayor sagas appear no more advanced that they were months ago. ‘The Journalist’ who’s record is close to abysmal suggests that enquiries have been made for Alex Witsel as a replacement for the Croat.

Witsel is a 23 year old Belgium currently plying his trade at Benfica. This seems ambitious from a number of perspectives but none more so than Benfica’s president Luis Felipe Vieira being quoted last month as saying:

“We want every club to know what is the release clause for Axel .

“If they want him and if they come here and pay that fee, then there is nothing that we can do.

“But we are very happy with Axel and we do not think about selling him.”

The release clause he was referring to is thought to be about £31M.

      it’s funny but the truth is we’ve still not replaced berbatwat with a proper striker despite pocketing £32 million for him

      this no striker signing strategy might end up with us relying on goals from midfield but it’s a very risky game plan which could see us tumble down the league

      one thing I do know, if we sign no one decent & struggle, we’ll overpay in the January window as the selling club will know they’ve got us by the balls

      He’s irritated the life out of me lately. I wasn’t this fed up with him even when he was our manager. Can’t wait for my dementure to kick in so I can forget all about the Tosser. Who am I?

    Strikers for avb to ponder might include Adebayar. Damiao.llorente. Remy. Ba, Hulk, Falcao. Carrol, berbatov, sturridge, dzeko, higuain n polish lad.
