    Hypothetical situation, bit of fun.

    You have £35m burning a hole in your pocket, and HAVE to buy either Bale or Modric.

    Who do you choose, and why?

    Just because we need the width, Bale.

    Any other scenario Modric would of won, hands down.

    Bale, purely because we need a player in his position more than we need a player like Modric. I really like Modric though.

    Bale would suit us but Modric is a better player. Not what we need though.

    Sandro's a pretty good player and would love Pav for back up.

    Same as above, because we desperatley need a winger it has to be bale hands down, but if we already had good wingers it would definatley be modric as hes one of the best in his position.

    None of the above.

    Aguero or Coentrao

    In terms of the team requirements, then Bale,
    however
    if that position was fine, then I would take Modric all the time.

    Gotta be honest, I'd choose Modric.

    He reminds me of McManaman, except a bit more dynamic.

    They both just always want the ball.

    Bale is the most over rated player in the league right now. Modric any day of the week.

    Modric. Bale will be good for another two years as he is very injury-prone and will lose his pace about then. Without his pace, Bale is nothing.

    Modric's brain will last a lot longer than two years.

    Bale without a shadow of doubt for obvious reasons,he could play left-back or on the wing.

    Bale would be a very expensive flop personally, he's had 7 good games this season and been given a £50m price tag. No one will pay that money for Bale.

    Modric is a fantastic player, but we need Bale more.

    Gareth Bale

    Modric is the class act at Spurs, and the main reason for there little bit of success.

    Especially if they only have £35m to spend.

    Gareth Bale is severely overrated, and for that reason I'm saying Modric. We can spend money on a better player than Bale for his position.

    I agree but which one do we need the most between the two?

    I've already said but I'll rephrase: Would you rather we bought an okay player for the position we need instead of a great player in a position we don't? For this particular hypothetical scenario we can only choose between Bale or Modric. Surely it'd make more sense to have the depth in one position and then spend more money elsewhere for other players instead of settling for the more average of the two? I'd rather we have an extra strong squad with backup than have a position that can still be improved.

    Anyone who says Bale is a mug. (Yeah, I went ther ). But no seriously, give me Luka Modric all day long over Gareth kick and rush Bale. It's not a matter of who you need, it's about who's the better player and Modric is day and night a better player than Bale. It's like saying Christ Brunt or Wesley Sneijder? You'd choose Brunt just because we need a wide man? Come off it.

    Modric every day of the week over Bale

    I dont even care that we need width right now, Bale is just gonna get more and more injury prone as time goes on

    Although he did clock up an impressive 1 assist this season in the PL. Thats reeeeeally good like!

    It's easy to find players of Bale's abilities around. Modric is unique tho.
