Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to bankroll an £80million double swoop for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez and Luka Modric.
It was my understanding, that Tevez wants to be nearer his daughters in Argentina.
If there's any truth in the above then it would make Dowie's move back North to us seem quite reasonable :-)

Have to say, the whole Spurs thing doesnt rest easy with me at the mo. Dont blame Modric or Bale if they want to go because they should both be playing in the CL. However, Chelsea were bang out of order making their £22m bid public when they were already told privately that Modric was not for sale. If thats not a blatant attempt to unsettle a player then I dont know what is. Fair enough, all clubs do it to an extent but £22m? They must be having a laugh. I'm sure once they've offered £30m + Drogba or Sturridge or £40m cash then Levy will sell.
As long as he sells him early and gives us time to get in a replacement unlike the time he told Carrick and Berbatov on deadline day and left us stuffed for 6 months. Personally, if the things that Modric has alleged to have said in the press are true, I'd like to see him rots in the stiff but in this day and age, every player has a price.
Modric has still got 5 years on his current contract.
If Chelsea really want him, then they need to up their offer, dont they? If a deal is struck, I can see Drogba or Sturridge being part of it. Oh, I so could have called him something bad then lol.
We're talking market values here. If Henderson is worth £20m and Carroll is worth £35m, Modric and Fabregas both must be worth in the region of £35-40m minimum. Take age into account and the number of years left on their contracts, that has to be a reasonable estimate.
Ah...poor old Spurs, I'm gutted for ya, truly I am.
Curb It please can you redirect my shirt sponsorship money to Harry's bung fund/the keep Modric at the Lane campaign?
What have Fabregas and Modric done and won lately?
Both are seriously overrated and look better than they produce (if you know what i mean). Barcelona don't really want nor need Fabregas, where else is he going to go?
Modric?.. according to football stats Henderson who has just gone to Liverpool had a better pass completion and assist rate last season.
Modi and Fabi are lovely boys, nice hair, alice bands, look good in leather jackets and all that stuff, but dont get conned by the press and agent bullshit. If Fab and Modi are valued at £35 million then Tevez must be worth £60 million.
AND, interesting how Liverpool looked good last year as soon as Gerrard was out of the side. There is always this danger of a one man band or the perception thereof.
