Jaw, Tenderloin!
Now Modric has departed to Real Madrid, I hear talk of us being interested in Shaktar's Wilian. Is he any good? Got to be honest the name is familiar, but I've no idea if he'd be a direct replacement for Modric, or a more attacking string puller.
We're also supposed to be in for M'Vila, which I'm surprised by as I was under the impression he was a more defensive minded midfielder, and we're in the market for someone to link and initiate play.
Sad to see Modric go, he was a player that could receive a ball, with little or no space, create some in the blink of an eye and then make a perceptive pass. All those no nothings who talk about his assist rate/goals scored, needed to see him hold Spurs together, he was the player that made the pass, before the pass, that lead to the goal.
Hope he doesn't regret the move to Real Madrid, it'd be a pity for him to just sit on the bench.
Maybe we can get Kaka, as a replacement. Silver linings and all that.
