Sadly I think his performance yesterday will have convinced a lot of clubs and more importantly, Daniel Levy, that The bidding should start at £30m.
There was a passage of play after 70mins that really impressed me. Spain had possession and were knocking on the door, suddenly the ball came to Modric on the edge of his area, surrounded by 4 Blue Spanish shirts, he put his foot on it, and proceeded to play a series of 1-2's. After the 6th 1-2, Spain had retreated into their half.
That, is what we needed last year at Wembley. Scholes did it when he came on but by then it was too late. And Scholes doesn't have the legs to beat Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.
The second thing that impressed me is that he played the Carrick/Scholes role. Deep, in front of the Cratian back 4, intercepting and surging forward, creating chances.
If we had him, next to Carrick, with Welbeck/Kagawa, Rooney, Nani and Valencia on the wings, we'd be unplayable at our best.
But it's not going to happen.
Missed chance with Luka Modric

I mean what is the American equivalent of a cockney wheeler dealer?

You want to see how bad the US Top Gear is. They are not ebven allowed to critisise US made cars, because the show is sponsored by the likes of GM.
Add to that, there is no chemistry between the presenters what so ever, and they are not funny.

Everything I needed to know about America and its media was probably summed up when I was on holiday there last year – Japan was in danger of nuclear meltdown following the earthquake and yet all every news channel was covering was Charlie Sheens and his sacking from two and a half men…
That aside – I have to say I love going there, I try to avoid going during the football season though as I find American football(soccer) commentators really annoying – just the terms they use and the emphasis they put on the wrong things winds me up

I don't even bother watching MLS.
It is so poor, and you are bang on about the commentators.

VC, I echo that sentiment. Was at OTC in Houston and watched the Houston Dynamos take on the Colorado Rapids. First time in my life I considered suicide

I've lost count of the amount of times you've called Modric "cack". If that's not calling him rubbish I don't know what is.

SLM, I'm just using the exact same logic you use.
SLM's law states, if Player A (preferrably a Utd player) has a bad game, player A is cack.
I'm just trying to use the same logic.
Fascinating
