To anyone that has played football, or watched a lot... How does Luca allow himself so much space? Never played with(ok, only semi-pro) or seen anyone that does it so easily as he does....a dream to have in your team. Love watching him play. makes it all look so easy.

catch the player on their heels and near impossible to keep up with a player who is already running whilst your trying to change directions

Always think the same about Scholes, Luka is a midfield maestro. Hope he stays.

Iv played with joe Allen & few more Allen was insane when I played with & against him he's not on Lukas level yet!

So I'd hate to know how good luka is in close quarters

luka never stops moving and can always exploit the space between the strikers and midfield

Luka is amazing but by all accounts doesn't want to be here/have any affinity for us.

If he does go I just hope we replace him with Marin or someone as good.

Everytime he gets the ball, even if someone is on him, he gets a yard of space...unbelievable tekkers. Luka has to stay.

For the last two seasons opponents have started to fear him and give him too much respect. It's good for us, because he can be absolutely devastating.

Just seems to be able to shake players of him even when he is in the tightest of spaces. What more amazing is he doesn't even need to move the ball most of the time to do it.

Marin is not the answer. Modric is a world class playmaker who is the heart of the team. Everything starts with him, he dictates and controls.

Marin is a laky, inconsistent winger who had a great game against us but is now struggling to hold down a place in the Werder Bremen team!

Would be a woeful replacement.

We won't replace Modric like for like. If and when he goes we will just have to adjust things a bit. No drama. Great player but we have had, and lost them before. We will have great players again too.

Great balance, foot work and most importantly a great footballing brain.

Really good anticipation in terms of what others are going to do and reacts very quickly, has the technical ability to do that and make it look easy.
