But Tottenham's president is fuckin greedy.
The deal is near done, it only needs Tottenham's president to be reasonable.

He's definitely trying to cash in on Modric as much as possible. I don't blame him though, Modric is an awesome player and I doubt Tottenham will be able to replace him. The deal is reported to be around £36m. The funny thing is, Tottenham rejected a £40m offer from Chelsea last summer. Their owner has been reluctant to sell him to another Premier League club.

Unless Madrid sell Kaka, I don't see why they want Modric. You already have Ozil who's one of the best playmakers in the world. Isn't Kaka pretty much the Ozil backup? Modric can play deeper though, so perhaps that's where Mourinho wants to play him? Even then, you have Alonso.

Madrid should sell Kaka back to Milan for 13millions, like Milan offered. He's not worth a lot nowadays anyway.

Modric turns up for about 10 games a season.

i agree with this guy,hes a bit overrated in my eyes.

Ozil is BLACK!

According to the media here, Modric will go to R. Madrid and Sahin will leave.

But As denies this. This is a soap opera.

Speaking of the Spanish media, has there been any news regarding Malaga's financial situation? It's amazing to think that they're even in this position.

In this country all that matters is Real Madrid and Barcelona. The rest of the teams are lucky if they give them one minute in the sporting news. So I have no idea.

I wonder when Ronaldo will start to decline. I'm sure he'll have a few more amazing seasons though.

I know it's only pre-season, but this is awful. 2-1 down to Brighton and Hove..

Edit: lmfao, as if we just lost 3-1.

PSG have signed Moura. Crazy. Let's see how serious Platini really is about FFP. I'm just happy Chelsea can compete and attract players in this crazy transfer market.

[SajN]

What is the result? Is the match over?

[Trimss]

Nah, first half is over and it's 1-1 with possession over 70% for RM

EDIT: Milan got slaughtered, lol

Haha damn. They will definitely flop this year. Thanks Berlusconi for selling our best players smh fuck that. I'm not even mad about this game tbh, I knew it would happen.

PSG's first game of the season - against Lorient - ended 2-2. To say PSG's defensive play was weak last night would be an understatement... Note, though, that Thiago Silva was not in the troop.

It was also Zlatan's first game for PSG in the French league (scored 2 goals). Without him, last night, PSG would have lost. Ibra never cease to amaze me with his strength and technical abilities. Great player.

Well played City, they deserved the win. The turning point was obviously Ivanovich's sending off. We played up to that point and in the latter stages of the match.

Aguero's miss was hilarious, but I'm sure he won't miss chances like that too often.

But yeah, congratulations City. The game counts for nothing, but it was nice to have some proper football back. Roll on next week!
