"I would prefer not to comment. You know what the situation is, it is public. At the moment we are scanning the market for everything and not just those two players."
He added: "[Modric plays in] one of the positions we are looking to strengthen.
"But again today you saw we adapted Yossi (Benayoun)'s position in the middle and also against Wycombe he was marvellous in the position.
"It is just a question of finding the solution.
"If it happens it happens, if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen."
When asked whether a deal for Modric was just a matter of time, he retorted: "No, it does not depend on us.
"Spurs have a right to defend their player and property. We just have to wait.
"We respect whatever position Tottenham takes and the prices we are talking about is an incredible amount of money."

from Villas-Boas, nice to see someone from Chelsea who doesn't think it's their divine right to take any player they want, I give it a few months before he takes up the attitude of the rest of the team
edit: the other player he is talking about is Parker
