Re: Football Season 2011/12

Modric is Spurs' best player by far, that was overlooked in the hype around Bale who, while a decent player, was very overrated on the back of a few good performances. I think it would be a massive loss for Spurs but also United who would be an ideal player for them, I can't think of a better (realistic) buy for United right now than Modric.

£22 million low but I don't think he is worth more than £30 million and that's pushing it. He will leave in all likelihood because he wants Champions League football and Daniel Levy, Spurs' chairman, is nothing if not pragmatic. He will accept a decent offer for Modric. No player is invaluable.

In other news the 2013 Champions League Final will be held at Wembley for the second time in three years:

"This may seem exceptional but I think it was important for us to respect this anniversary of our game," said Uefa president Michel Platini.

Wembley's staging of this year's final was regarded as a resounding success.
Which means it will host the Champions League Final only 2 years after hosting the previous one. Next year the final will be held at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena before coming back to Wembley the year after.

Cool.
