He's a good player, but rather overrated. I don't really see him adding anything new to them. What does he do that Ozil doesn't already do?
Typical Real Madrid buying players they don't need.
yes he is gonna play like a central midfielder near alonso not as AMFalot! Modric plays deeper, and controls games and dictates play. Ozil just creates.
I think this allows Tom Huddlestone to fulfil his potential, In England he is regarded as the new Xavi due to his fantastic passing skills.
AVB doesn't like Huddlestone.
he left him out of his squad completely for the Newcastle game.
Huddlestone then proceeded to put this on this on his twitter then quickly deleted it: 'respect has to be earned before it is given. #Fact.'
He's Alonso's replacement. Alonso will be 31 soon. If he's lucky he'll have 2 more season in him to be able to compete against Barcelona week in week out in all 3 competitions. Then he'll go back to San Sebastian. Until then Mourinho will rotate Modric and Alonso just like he rotates Benzema and Higuain. Why do people think it's a problem to have 3 central midfielders for 2 positions? We have Song, Mascherano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and Thiago for 3 positions.
Still not a Madrid player? What's going on?
Well breaking news , Modric was pictured today in Madrid (probably doing the medical) .. so we are expecting an announcement within the next few hours
