Chelsea should not have made a (refused) private bid public, it's a form of tapping up surely??

I agree entirely, but only if arry gets done for every time he has uttered the words(or similer), " I don't want to talk about someone else player but he is great and I would love him in our squad"

So much irony in that quote of yours that the whole world got constipation.

Aye true, but the tapping up of even half decent players is not a thing the Hammers have had to worry about for a good few years now is it boyo
 
Modric out and Parker in?
My dislike of Bungpuss grows every day and the sooner he fucks off to be England manager the better for all concerned.
Except of course England fans
 
Well......
Tottenham defender Ledley King has had successful knee surgery, the club have confirmed on their website.

King underwent an arthroscopy on his left knee on Monday and is expected to return to training at the start of August.

The 30-year-old England international currently struggles to play more than one game a week because of knee injuries that also limit his training.
We've been here before, more than once. All the same, good wishes.

If Modric (like Cesc) actually wants to leave just hand in a transfer request FFS. If not STFU about it and get back to training - you can't have it both ways.

Mabbutt and Redknapp have both indicated that Modric himself has behaved impeccably, and that the 'quotes' etc are the product of media and other clubs stirring more than anything.
 
Oh i'm sure... and as in so many of these situation driven by his agent looking for a pay day too I bet.

Are you saying all the quotes attributed to Modric saying he prefers a move to Chelsea are fabricated?
 
your just unobservant. I notice gforce around the place more then i notice you.

refused i belive the phrase around these parts is "bogus media narrative" y'know like the stadium levy absolutely doesn't want or the bungs arry never took.

Modric hands in transfer request to Spurs chairman Levy in bid to force Chelsea move

Okay, now he's being a dick...
 
I don't see what's dickish about it. He wants more money and CL games, like every other footballer out there. Or am I missing anything?

Saying that he wouldn't hand in a transfer request, and then... er, handing in a transfer request.
 
Did he actually really say that?

Only in the same way Xavi really said Cesc was being 'torn apart' by transfer issues. In other words he may have said "perhaps it's better to hand in a transfer request" which is now "Modric wants out of Spurs and hates his Chairman". Usual off-season BS.
 
Apathy is working well for me on the Modric issue, I'm bored to tears with it now.

Sell him for top dollar and ship in some other overpaid twat to take his place.
 
Agreed...because no one really cares about Downing, Phil Jones etc. They're just not very interesting signings.

No, tapping up specifically means contacting a player whilst he's in contract. It's not against the rules for managers (or others, Spanish club presidents being a good example) to talk about players they'd like to sign and possibly intend to place bids for. As long as Chelsea don't contact Modric or his agent directly they're clean. However, you would have to describe their bid as cheeky if they are acting in good faith, £22m is far too low for a player of his quality in the current market, if you use the likes of Downing and Henderson as a comparison that is. Has Modric's agent hinted to Chelsea he could be had for that much? Who knows.
 
The Vucinic rumour looks like it has a mote of credibility to it. Not seen him really, but he sounds like the right type of striker for our needs.
