Transfers & Rumours

You do realize that in this formation Modric's role will have even less defense. That is the whole point in having 2 defensive midfielders. I expect to see him come off the bench in to one of the wider areas to use his ability to help Madrid's attack.

Which formation? 4-2-3-1 ?

I'm saying that in Madrid's formation he would have a lot of defending to do if he plays alongside Xabi Alonso. Because C.Ronaldo is pushed up very high, almost like a striker, and Ozil does not help in defending at all.

He will have a lot of covering to do for CR7. Khedira, Granero and Lass do this very well, but i doubt Modric can do it.

And I highly doubt Mourinho would play Modric as a winger, because he is clearly much better in the center, and Mou knows this.

You really think that Modric would be used as a holding mid? There most common formation would be 4-2-3-1. He would be one of the 3, and he most likely would be a sub.

For Real, he will be an impact sub at most. He is more than technical to provide a threat from any of those 3 positions. Whether he can find playing time is a completely different story. Real is stacked with attacking talent to use.

what's the story with Drogba possibly to Barcelona?

[jabarinho]

Hulk is not in Chelsea. There are reports of it but nothing confirmed. Headlines can be very misleading.

Drogba to Barca LOL wut?! Drogba recently went to Shangai in China. There is no way he is going to Barca. What fiction magazines are you guys reading?

[Yen]

na it was reported that the contract he signed with China had no rules on transferring to another club to which Barca seized the opportunity

i hope thats true, would be so nice...but i cant see why Barca would want Drogba, so many strikers already

[jabarinho]

sounds like one of those crazy rumours used to sell newspapers. Honestly, i don't even read those news reports anymore. I only read quotes from club staff and players, but even those quotes are sometimes misleading or totally false.

I think Modric's role would be like it is at the Spurs.  I think he'd play the role Xavi plays at Barca.  It might mean Alonso goes to the bench.  I don't see Modric playing ACM.

He's more of a central mid that comes deep for the ball... he'd be best suited next to Khedira.  Let Khedira do the dirty work, while Modric connects the play.

Chelsea's Twitter hacked.

Drogba is really out of Chelsea and Premier League, he's off to the Chinese Super League.
