AVB coy on more Modric bids

 

Andre Villas-Boas has refused to rule out further attempts to lure Luka Modric to Chelsea.

 

He said: "I just have to speak to the owner (Roman Abramovich) when this kind of thing happens.

 

"When there's an offer, there's a counter-offer and then you reach an agreement."

 

He added: "Modric's name is already out too much in the press. Let's leave it.

 

"He's Harry Redknapp's player. He's not my player, unfortunately."

 

He continued: "It gets pretty frenetic in the last week of the market, and the reality is that, even yesterday, one of the biggest deals in the Premier League was done with (Samir) Nasri leaving Arsenal for Man City."

Very good read about FC United and football passion...

Most of the supporters who are crazy about the game cannot afford the costly tickets every week. I understood one thing when I visited Old Trafford. Costlier the seat you book, better the view but less crazy are the fans about the game. I understood what Roy Keane meant when he was talking about prawn sandwiches and United supporters. I couldnt hear United chants from my block at all! Stretford Supporters on the other end were going crazy. Hell, the bar I had been to before heading to the match made more ruckus than my block.

 

Lesson Learnt: Next time, I will try to book a seat in the Stretford End to experience fan mania.

Man Arsene Wenger has a whopping 90 million in his kitty to spend in the last 5 days of the transfer Window :surprise: Wonder how much will he spend considering he is against Man Shitty`s Policy of over paying a player.Surely Arsene will not pay kaka his 153,000 wages per week.

 

Very Interesting these Last 5 days of Transfer Window will be.

Arsenal need to get a defender and Cahill will suit them well... Verminator and Cahill... Win win! :)

Whatever he does, he needs to do it as soon as possible. Find the people he is interested in, make some offers and close it out by Sunday. It is going to be very interesting to see who comes to the Emirates and how they integrate into the team.

what will happen on Sunday though :naughty: United vs Arsenal.Arsenal are going in with a descent side who hasn`t scored a goal yet.Gervinhio is a big loss.Walcott and Persie are the key men on Sunday.If Walcott is kept quite then Arsenal will have to fight really hard to get something from OT :samui:

My take on big games is that the team gets galvanized to play their best. It doesn't matter if you have a half decent side but the energy is high and if they can keep the energy high and not get beaten down by possession then magic can happen. No team is unbeatable at home and the only way to make that happen is to challenge everything and I mean everything. You see a man running in the box, shut him down. You see a midfielder trying to get the ball, close him down and while you're doing that get your team mates to cause a ruckus with the rest of the passing options. Disrupting gameplay is the key.

Arsenal having to play a demanding mid-week game doesn't really help either. United are gonna be fresh and whatever points you just mentioned are going to be all the more difficult to execute
