The RVP situation could mean that he is moving.
If staying, both parties would be happy to announce it and pat one another on the backs.
Could be on the way to Juventus or maybe even Man City.

Fergie really hopeless.
There is the whole world to scout from and all he can do is recruit 2 established BPL players.
Just like buying Rooney, Ferdinand and Berbatov for more than 30 million pounds each.
Who don't know how to do that?

Bro, I have more faith in you than that farking old fart when it comes to talent scouting. The man is bereft of ideas and it looks increasingly likely he will over pay for these players. Better that he retires.

[red amoeba]

modric is out of Fergie's budget after Croatia's performance.

[erection2011]

Given not that great so far based on the match with Croatia.....if he continues like that his value would diminish

[Gallego99]

modric is out of Fergie's budget after Croatia's performance.

The only London club that could afford him and his wage demands is Chelsea and the player wants to stay in London. Despite the rumour that it is a done deal (25 million pounds) between Spurs and United, I find it hard to believe that Modric will change his mind and move to Manchester. I think the guy would rather play in Italy or Spain than play for another British Club.

I would love to see Vidic and Modric live and play side by side,a sight to behold.
