It appears we cannot replace Modric

[Freudlyuchenko]

Fortunately or unfortunately we have statistically the best midfielder in the league, now I know we all know he's good, but some have said due to his desire to leave last summer we should get rid of him, however it may be harder then people think to replace the Croat,

It appears that the article just says he's good at stuff.

Not like he's topping every list is it, unless I'm reading it wrong?

As Spooky will tell you from FM, the best is not necessarily best at everything, the best is the all rounder

But to say we can not replace him and to even call him 'the best' is still highly objective.

Get what you're saying though of course, but I'd like to see the list and see what other names pop up and where.

I'd be surprised if Arteta and Toure didn't boast similarly impressive paper ability.

Everything but goals?

I believe that there are three clubs that managed to finish above us without the mighty Ratboy.

As a sidebar, since Chelsea signed Marko Marin, do you think they are still interested in Modric?

Yeah they are, because Marin is a winger / attacking midfielder

Yeah, but they look similar. So they don't want Modric.

We dont need to replace him (if he leaves). We need to adapt our midfield to work without him.

Our game will change slightly, but we can still play our fast attacking football with Hudd supplying the magic and Sandro or Parker destroying. With Huddlestone allowed time on the ball to pick out passes and unlock defenses, we might even have the privilage of having a player who forces Bale TO STAY ON THE LEFT!!!!
