To be fair, if Henderson is Â£20m then yeah Felli should be in the Â£25-30m brackett

Very few midfielders of Mofros ilk around these days, Yaya, Vieraesque type players.

Tiote could turn into something similar if he brought a bit of discipline to his game as Mofro did.

The great thing for us, is he looks like an absolute clown and not the classy central midfielder he is who can dictate games. I often think if he had the same physique as Viera or Yaya. Hed be gone. People are cottoning on though.

Fellaini is worth around 25m. He's not worth as much as Modric mainly because attacking, goalscoring players go for more.

TBF

Mofro: PL goals: 14
Modric: PL goals: 13

Mofro: PL Assits: 14
Modric: PL Assists: 21

* Which is fair enough when you think one is deployed far deeper with a more discpilned role than the other.

Surprised by those stats to be honest. I imagine Modric would be valued higher also because he's more of a 'flair' player.

Good to know I'm not alone in thinking Modric is overly hyped by the media.

Modric is fantastic. But for me, a midfielder has to score a few more goals than Modric does to really warrant a pricetag like Â£35m.

Same goes for Fellaini, i'd say is currently a Â£22m-Â£25m player. If he added a few more goals each season. He would be pushing Â£30m

Spot on.

Modric is a great technician\passer but he has a poor shot. Â£35m is way overvalued for him, Â£20-25 million is a realistic valuation.

Some interesting tweets from John Chapman (@belgofoot) on Twitter right now regarding Fellaini and how he doesn't see him as a guaranteed starter for Belgium anymore. John is usually my go-to-man for Belgian football information and I tend to take on board what he says.

The first thought that came to my mind when I read this was hopefully it would bring even more out of Fellaini so it's impossible for Wilmots to leave him out. Of course, it could have the reverse effect and damage him.

Oh, and it just goes to show how many quality players Belgium have if Fellaini isn't a guaranteed starter, too.
