Don't rate Modric at all. Doesn't score and doesn't assist. Poor version of Hleb.

[Toronto Gooner]

Spurs can keep Modric. I agree with Ach although I think that he is doing Hleb a disservice by using him as comparison for Modric.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

this from BBC via the Mirror (says it all I guess)

Arsenal are determined to keep hold of captain Cesc Fabregas and have rejected Barcelona's initial offer of £31m.

the figure gets smaller

(also sorry if I'm repeating stuff, haven't checked the Cesc thread yet and won't be able to do so as I'm dashing out the office for an hour or so)

Modric would be perfect for them, their CM is severely lacking in ability and flair.

That's the thing about Fergie, he won the title got to the CL final but saw that his team we're lacking in several areas.....what does he then go and do?

Goes out and finds suitable players to improve his team as quickly as possible, got to repsect his proactive approach.

Hleb was/is sh*t....where is he now...last time I saw he was at Birmingham stinking up the place. It's a nonsense to say this guy is good, he's a lightweight headless chicken with no end product who can't shoot for sh*t.

I personally think Ashley Young is awesome, pacey can cross and score goals. I've seen him for Villa a number of times and when he's on form he's usually the guy that destroys the opposition.

Saw one game where Villa scored 4 goals in a short spell and almost all of them came through him, IMO he's an upgrade on Walcott as he's a more intelligent footballer.

He's what Man U have been missing since Ronaldo left, with him in the team they'll be much more potent going forward IMO.

If we'd signed him I'd have been happy, he's a genuine winger.

i disagree, he can be magic, so can theo but too often he goes missing. its the same with aghbonhor (no idea how to spell it) one reasonable season and everyone thinks he is great. too often they both go missing and if they were here, he would be moaning

Aghbonlahor I don't rate, but Young is good IMO.

[Boss]

Theo may be a better prospect than Young but Young will develop better under Ferguson and become more potent (a la Ronaldo, Nani).

Walcott would be player of the year by now if he went to United instead of us.
