Yeah, the flaw in your logic is that Cesc is twice the player Modric is or ever will be. Cesc was pretty much irriplaceable, Modric is not.
With the Nasri money we've essentially got Arteta, Gervinho and Park. We'll see how things develop, but you'd have to say that we've come out fairly well from that. Worst case we've come out even and that was with a 'mere' £24 million.
Lol. Modric is good enough that a club deemed him worthy of a 40m pound bid, allegedly. Very few players have been transferred for more than that. In this league, only Cristiano and Torres have gone for more than that.
Does it mean he is a better player than Fabregas or Aguero? In my opinion, no. But there is a difference between how good a player is and what he is worth to a team, whether it's his own or the team that wants him. Chelsea value him highly, and judging by their actions, Spurs value the option of not selling him now greater than 40m pounds. And I can respect that. Modric, while being no Xavi or Cesc, is a fine player and probably the best and most important player at Spurs
