From the outside this seems like one that was always more likely than Fabregas. Given the fact he wasn't exactly first choice at Real last year and they've already signed three new midfielders. The fact that I'd prefer Modric over Fabregas anyway means I'd be over the moon if we got this one done. Prob end up with Fellaini and Tim Cahill on loan though...

Fabregas wasn't first choice either AND they've signed Neymizzle

Yeah I understand that but Modric isn't at the club of his dreams, and like I said, Real have signed THREE midfielders. Possibly four if they get Bale. They'll have to sell too in order to fund the moves. Even Real haven't got unlimited funds.

We should be in for both him and Di Maria if Real sign Bale.

Good player but a stroppy git. Although you like Nani so no accounting for scouting there ...

I'd take a stroppy player who produces moments of magic and wins you games over a play who gets his head down but is just consistently average.

Although thinking about it, if we're keeping Nani (which I hope we are) signing Di Maria would be a bit of a luxury considering his wages.

Modric though I think we all agree we should move for.

Costs us games, yeah, but hasn't won a game for us in literally years.

He won us more than Valencia and played a lot less games due to injuries and just being out of favour.

Madrid will be some what overloaded in midfield after all is said and done. But I thought Ancelotti tried to sign Modric when he was at Chelsea did he not? I think he rates him.

Reading? - that pales in comparison to him costing us against chelsea and real

LOL its all reasonable when it comes to Nani tommo. Surely you should know that about this forum by now. Nani has a completely different set of rules as compared to the rest of United.
