agreed, i think they've been playing the best football this season.

agreed.

haha.. Pathetic. If Arsenal or Liverpool were in any position that would remotely have a possibility of them winning the league, I doubt you'd be saying that.

u want something new? City winning epl is something new

Well, Livermore was a beast today and it's been quoted to death but he had just under a 99% pass accuracy many of which were forward moving passes. Against a team like Everton at home, we didn't really need Parker.

We rarely get good highlights for our matches, not sure why. I guess we're still not considered a big team or something since Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City all have tons of highlights. Liverpool had like full highlights for the goddamn Oldham game and Arsenal had full highlights for Leeds United. A lot of our games don't get anything even close to proper highlights on this site. It does get annoying.

Its not this site. its TV coverage. if its more channels, ppl upload more highlights on video sharing sites and footytube indexes it.

I do wish thy stopped indexing site that have a restriction on location such as msn vids and bbc videos

It's fairly simple in this case. The player's both had Contract agreements and the Chairman just said no to either leaving.

This is not what happen every time when your player is requested by top-class clubs.
and yes you have to give credit to the chairman who fight for his stars.

Safouane, Oddshot has it right. If they're under contract, the Chairman can just say no. Easy stuff.

The difficulty comes in when you have to worry whether that player will play to the best of their abilities if they are unhappy and want to go away. In our case, Modric sorted his head out and has been brilliant this season.

Also, if a player is nearing the end of their contract, the owner has to consider whether it's worth it to keep the player for one more season and sell for a much lower price when the contract expires. Again, in our case, Modric is tied to our club for quite a while still, so Levy had full control of the situation. In the end, it was never anyone else's decision but his. Even Harry was willing to sell Modric but Levy put his foot down. Credit to him for sure.
