I may have this wrong but I am sure I read that Thiago had said Utd hadnt tried to sign him however from these forums it was made to sign like he was targetted. So now we have newspapers claiming we are looking at Modric. Do we really know this?
The Fallback Option - Luka Modric...
- Thread starter Raees
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yep, I'm hearing from sources close to Club that we've bid a plastic treasure chest of chocolate gold coins and a packet of refreshers with blackjacks as add-ons depending on trophies won and appearances.
I imagine we have a fairly sizeable scouting network at the club. Why would we not utilise it in order to find the next Modric? A player from a lesser known league with a lot of potential. That would come to us. Like we've always done.
If Twitter is to be believed, which it isn't 9 times out of 10, then United Officials are in Madrid to discuss a fee for Modric.
I already have a pinch of salt available.

Are you Mr.Fuji?
I really don't think Madrid would turn down a bid of £30-£35m for him... if they could make back what they spent, they'd surely be delighted.

Indykaila ? It's off, mate. (I really hope not)
Why would they be delighted?They got a good player at a good price last year only to sell him a year later? It doesn't even make sense. Would United be delighted to get £6m for Hernandez or £7m for Vidic?
He's not a starter and he's dropped further down the pecking order hasn't he? He's hardly been a great success for them...
And as for your edit... no, but they're terrible comparisons... wouldn't a lot of people be happy to get £18m for Ashley Young?! Or Ando?
Did we even put in a bid in for him?
I get the feeling that papers try linking clubs with a great number of players, mosty in the hope they can later say "see...? We were right all along!!"
He's played a lot and will play even more next season, I believe. He had a strong end to last season and has had a great pre-season by all accounts, he'll be in the first team next to Alonso or Illarramendi.
Well if Madrid had to sell him to get the funds for Bale, i believe they will and Modric will go
Something like half of his appearances last season he was either subbed or came on as a sub... but still maybe he will play more this season, but I wouldn't be too surprised if he was the fall guy for Illarramend.

I think we can now declare this one dead.
Xabi Alonso has fractured a metatarsal and will be out for three months.
He was just about over his operation, and might have played a bit in Madrid's friendly on Thursday. Now his return is months away again.
Modric is currently Plan A as well as Plan B at Madrid.

O well wanted Ozil anyway :

:Sack Moyes.
Is Fellaini Plan F?
I noticed new posts in this thread and actually thought it would be good news
Anyone know if this quote is true?
It's all over twitter now.
They never are.
Ah right. Nothing to get excited about then.
How come it's not? We got excited for much less. Just by glancing the words, "Modric" "agree" "!Manchester United" gave me a half pump.
