A sense of calm fell over me last night.
We are trying to get our quality players in and move those unwanted on, with the knowledge that we have the money to do the deals WITHOUT the Modric money, but not letting that be known so we dont get charged a premium.
We don't need to sell him and will wait until the 31st if we have to, but I feel we will have the rest of the squad in place.
A final thought I had was us finalising the Leandro deal, and another top striker, while some here are committing hari kiri, and really looking forward to our game against United.
All you have to do is look at the papers this morning to see how mad transfer fees are getting which means we need to get it right when we pull the trigger.
15m for Joe Allen?
12m+ for Steven Fletcher?
23m + Andy Johnson for Daniel Agger?
The fees being bandied about are crazy so we need to box clever. Unfortunately this may mean having to wait until deadline day but hopefully that will be in the best interests of the club.
