i know what you mean but as a fan you can't tell me you are realy expecting more than 40mil for modric cmon  even with the market going crazy i wouldn't pay that mutch neither will somoene with some brains

Well I wouldn't expect Chelsea to pay £40m for him, but I wouldn't put it past them to pay £25m-£30m. As I'm not a fan of Tottenham or Modric I can't give a personal valuation on him based on the current market. I'm just going by what the market values players at. Why would Chelsea or any club buy a player for what value the fans think they're worth?

Everton's Jack Rodwell is valued at £20m, as is Leighton Baines. They're both English too, and Manchester City has shown interest in Jack Rodwell. With all honesty I CAN expect City to pay £30m or more for him if they went for him. I'd value Modric much higher than those two, and not just because they're Everton players.

Before Liverpool bought Andy Carroll, did you expect them to pay £35m for him? I didn't. I didn't even expect them to put in a bid for him, especially with the price Newcastle put on him, and even though Liverpool are walkovers in the transfer market I would have thought they'd get the price down a bit. Having said that though, if it wasn't transfer deadline day they might have done.
