Co-owner becoming a free agent...

It's not going to happen, but what a way to steal the spotlight from Wrexham that would be! Keep your Deadpool and Always Sunny guys, we've got Luka Fu**ing Modric...

We can all dream, but IF he did sign for us for a season or two can you imagine the players who would want to come to us just to learn from him for that time? Players who would never even think of playing for us would be queuing up to sign a contract instead

If he registered as a Swansea player we could sell him or loan him out for astronomical fees helping our P&L

Never thought of that one

Modric Ben Davies and Aboubakar in the same squad straight down the spine, piss the league.

What better way to grow the club and Modric have a return on investment, join us, commercial and shirt sales sky rocket, get us promoted club is worth shit ton.

This with bells on.
Excitement levels be off the scale, good times returning. Dare I say the misery we've endured under the leadership of some proper butes be worth it.

Looking like the MLS or Qatar for the chosen one

In 2023, Inter Miami’s co-owner David Beckham was spotted with Modric on the Croatian island of Sipan, sparking speculation that the former Tottenham midfielder would be the latest marquee name to make the move to the United States.

Modric ended up remaining at Madrid but Inter Miami, who are managed by Javier Mascherano and have Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in their squad, have retained their interest and could now make a new attempt to sign the 39-year-old in the coming months.

As long as he wasn't on Epstein island.

The big question is if he's looking to play at the highest possible level or is he just looking for a place to stay fit until next summer?

I certainly understand why the MLS rumors abound, but the standard of play in the MLS is inferior to the Championship. Frankly, it's not even as close as many might think. That said, his risk of injury would be higher in the Championship than it might be in a more subdued league like MLS, the Saudi league, etc.

I doubt that wages would be the deciding factor here unless the Saudi league decides to offer up some crazy figure.

So, considering all of that, I don't think our chance of signing Luka Modric here is nil. Unlikely, sure. But I'm telling you I firmly believe there's at least a sliver of a chance.

The Sun reporting he’s bought a house near the training ground, the one that Leon used to own. Let’s stoke the fires even more

the bottom line is tho' is that we can all enjoy the publicity Modric has created by becoming an associate owner, but the reality is that we are still shopping in the Pound shops on the look out for talent that doesn't come with a top six Championship wage tag. Nothing wrong with that, especially as we are close to the FFP limit but media headlines that we could be interested in signing the likes of McBurnie would certainly need another tranch of investment from our owners to be added to the club's finances.

That wouldn't help with P and S regulations. Unless we bring in an inflated commercial deal, as a way of getting around the regulations. I'm sure no one has thought of that...

Interesting if true.
