Exactly, I believe the central midfield partnership at the time was Palacios and Huddlestone which that season did well before Palacios' brother died and when Huddlestone was using his skill set to its fullest.

Do you just make things up and hope no one remembers?
Modric played CM in Harry's very first game in charge...the 2-0 win at Bolton in October 2008
Are you honestly denying Modric played out wide under Arry - you can't be serious right?
Here our results from from 09/10 (Arry's best season, imv) - Modric played every single game out at LW when fit except the last 3-4 when Bale had to be accommodated

Palacios was signed in January...and Modric partnered him the middle in Harry's first season on a regular basis.
Saying Modric moved central at the end of 09-10 season is utter bollocks, and not sure how you can agree with it.
He played central in Harry's first game, and in the 4-4 v the Scum etc.....he played CM with Wilson in the 0-0 v Scum at WHL in Feb 2009.
Go look at the line-ups - it all there. You're wrong on this one. Modric played LW the entire 09/10 season up until the last few games.
Who played out left Sammy?
No, Ive already said he did.
You said he didnt play in the middle til the end of the 09-10 season, which is bullshit.
He played there regularly in 08-09.
Now there will be a big argument because you are wrong and pointed it out, and instead of saying "oh yeah", you will deny everything.
I said Harry played Modric out LW to great succes which you denied and then proceeded to quote a few random games from Arry's early tenure to justify your opinion
Fact is - Modric played LW and did so very well - the original point of this discussion
er... ok which season are we talking about now? 09/10 or 08/09? Just so I can get my bearings.
He played number of games out at LW during 08/09 as well
But that original point was about his 'success' in that specific position not the number of appearances per se, which to be quite honest was rather outstanding
Apparently the team used to stay in a hotel the night before home games and Woodgate was actually staying at that hotel. Ramos still made him travel to the ground and get the coach to the hotel with the rest of the squad even though he was staying there!
I said it worked. I dont think it was to "great success".
Modric in the middle was a great success. And he played there as early as 2008.
The first time he payed in the middle was NOT the end of 09-10. Fact.
That has nothing to do with your original assertion of Ramos playing Modric out of position - Arry did the same to great success
After he had played him in the middle....his natural position, which allowed him to come to terms with the PL.
Ramos played Modric out of position (LW) from day one, and he was shit there as he was out of his depth.
That was my point. Harry played him LW after he had played him CM. Modric had well found his feet before being moved out wide.
That is why I think Ramos was a prick.
