To be fair Pirlo has been class. His range of passing is outrageously good.

Excellent game he's had. Classy midfelder with great prescence.

eh?

Fantastic game.

Stupendous 2nd goal. Kuyt is playing really well.

Would be a good manager I feel.

That article is outdated dude.

Same price as Emre! I know Emre has been pants but that just isn't right surely?! There is quit the gulf of class between the two. Anyway, let's hope we are making room for a new midfielder and striker after accepting bids for Shola and Emre.

Remember the last youngster let go by Arsenal who went down in his first full season playing regular football? David Bentley at Norwich. Who'd have thought after that season he'd be the player he is now. You cannot compare David Bentley who showed glimpses of brilliance at Arsenal with Seb Larsson. 3 or 4 quality players before we sold Emre and apparently decided to cancel Barton's contract. And why isn't Larsson quality? He's a young international with Premiership experience and the most accurate free kick taker in the league. Anyone turning their nose up at this one needs to get a f***ing grip. Senderos is a young international with Prem experience doesn't mean I want him. He can take freekicks thats it, he can't create from open play and would be an average signing on 30k. Pure bollox. Bentley showed no more than what Larsson did at Arsenal, which is why he ended up at Norwich on loan.

What is wrong with you? There's always an excuse with you lot. Look the guy was not great today. There is no way Bilic would have wanted him defending so deeply all game like that against freakin' Austria. He will have better days though as he is a good player so get over it. Stop going on like you were in the Croats dressing room before the game. I like the way you just avoided answering the question with another pointless rant :lol: . Okay KD show me the evidence of Bilic asking Modric to play more defensively versus Austria. if you have a look at my posts i said that Bilic said that pre-tournament (as you already know, i wasnt specifically refering to the Austria game). I've actually become so fed up of the way you try and have a go at every little thing i say (and at times manipulate my words), that i'm not gonna bother replying to your posts for a while (a cooling off period if you will). It's clearly obvious you'll have an issue with eveything a type so there's really no point. Oh stop being such a sissy! My comment was perfectly valid. No matter what, I'm sure Bilic didn't intend for Modric to be that deep the majority of a game against Austria. So we don't need to hear you blaming Bilic.

Lightweight? think you're wrong. On todays performance he looked far from Lightweight. Dictated the game well and has an excellent passing range. Does his fair share defensivly too (Bilic gave him a more defensive role today as croatia played 2 upfront). He faded second half but still a good perfomance. How do you know what Bilic asked him to do? Have Spurs ITKs infiltrated the Croatia dressing room too? Ridiculous. spurs itk? get a girlfriend ffs. Ermmmmmm i know this because having watched croatia in the past, Modric has a more advanced role and they play Eduardo with olic tucked in behind him. I also know this because Bilic said before the tournament started that he may give Modric a more defensive role than he's usually used to. How about you just ask a question next time rather than try and have a go for the smallest things. Saves you looking like a bigger clown than you already seem to be. Just don't make up stuff. Bilic said nothing about Modric having a more defensive role today. Just accept that he wasn't that great today, it's only one game afterall. Why the hell would he be asked to play a defensive role against bloody Austria? Are you freakin kidding me?!

Podolski has looked good today. Why has he been left to rot at Bayern? Make it happen Kev.

Nah mate, first I've heard of it. Two posts above ffs. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!

Feel awful for Austria. They were really good. Oh well ... time to have a look at Gomez.

Their number 11 you mean..? Horrible diver though.. True, he's a bit dramatic, but looks a good player.

Dario Srna has looked a very good player. Like him a lot.

The guy is definitely class and we are just going to have to live with that unfortunately. He's scored a penalty ffs. I'm not just referring to this game though! He's a very good player. I've ssen enough of him to know that. Nice one, what channel is the Croatian league on? Pretty predictable Wullie. I have only watched him for Croatia in the internationals and he impressed me enough in those games. He is clearly a technically gifted player with great vision and a very good workrate. I don't have to watch every Croatian league game to tell you that. So you've seen him a few times, what 3 or 4, at international level? Fair enough. He probably is a good player seeing as Premiership clubs were willing to pay £20m for him but let's not pretend you're some sort of super scout eh? For the record I've seen David Healy play at international level and he's f***ing brilliant and I've seen Frank Lampard play at international level and he's f***ing crap. When he's in Hull on a wet Wednesday night, that's what matters. Fair enough. Never said I was a superscout and I never said he was going to take the prem by storm. All I know is that he has a very nice set of skills on him and he certainly has ability. Like you say though no one knows what will happen when he arrives in the prem. I'm certainly hoping things don't quite come together for him here.

I've ssen enough of him to know that. Lets cling on to the hope that he isnt suited to Premiership football. We can hope ... but he is a pretty tenacious little guy and coupled with his smarts I don't think he will struggle unfortunately. You just never know though, so yeah I will hope for now.

We need to open up a separate "Tears for Modric" thread cuz things will definitely get out of control on here.
