@Alen and Vlatko, you guys need to see Modric's 40 meter pass to Hutton in the build up to VDV's first goal, that was absolutely sublime.
Bale is getting all the hype, but without a doubt Modric is their best, most influential and most consistent player. Not only is he a creative player and an amazing passer, his reading of the game is very good too, and he makes a lot of interceptions in midfield. After watching him for two years, i can safely say i think he's one of the best creative CM's out there and can easily start for most big clubs.
As impossible as it is, i'd love it if we could nick him as a Cesc replacement.
