To be honest the fact that you think Modric's value dropping £7 Million in 12 months has nothing to do with him requesting a transfer and going on strike is pretty ludicrous.
Amortisation or not. You need to consider what contributed to his drop in value. It certainly wasn't his form, and he had 5 years left on his contract.
His value went down as the length of his contract went down.
Probably 20-30% of the money will go to the stadium and rest of it to the kitty.
Bad move. You'll get a flood of negative rep now... :avbfacepalm:
Tottenham Hotspur close in on Brazil and Corinthians midfielder Paulinho
By Jason Burt
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...azil-and-Corinthians-midfielder-Paulinho.html
I saw this over at SC and ...
This is a very very interesting article ... The reason being --> Look at who wrote this article.
Jason Burt.
I clearly remember this fella from last window. For those who dont know/remember, this is the very guy that first broke the news that we were interested in Dembele and Willian.
And the biggest thing is that this is apparently a close friend of AVB (also according to SC).
I am not fully sure about the latter fact, but the former ... I do remember.
So ... if the rumors do say we are after this Brazilian ... then I guess it would be alright to believe in them.
Edit:
In the article it says:
Talks have taken place this week to agree a deal worth around £14.5 million for the 24-year-old midfielder who is currently preparing for the Confederations Cup back in Brazil.
... Good price and I would much rather have him instead of an older and more expensive Fredy Gaurin
If I may, the alleged £40 million offer was from Chelski, and you could forgive Levy for not wanting to sell to them. By selling to Real Madrid we wouldn't have to face him every year, and we wouldn't be giving a leg up to one of our closest rivals. Can we just went back to hopeless speculation now please
