    nope, defo not. modric is streets ahead of parker but if modric does go then parker wouldnt be bad to tide us over this season

    Maybe Krancjar might get a chance. Have always liked him. Creative, Skilful knows where the goal is and just seems to get on with it even after been treated like crap by Redknapp.

    yes, did you not watch even one game last season. modric recovered the ball from the back hundreds of times. he was often challenging for headers and also making tackles back there

    I'd tell him tough ****. You signed a contract, your playing with us. Be a bitch about it, and we'll stick you in the reserves for 12 months.

    Be realistic mate, has never happened, and will never happen anytime soon.

    Its a pity its still early in pre-season. If we were a bit closer to the transfer deadline date then I'd give us a better chance of holding out.

    Best thing we can do now is sign a few quality players that will make a statement of intent and hopefully Modric will be persuaded to stay as a result. Either that or hope Chelski go after kaka or Ribery or similar.

    We don't even have a reserve team :-)

    We have a reserve team, we just don't compete in the reserve league. They organise matches to suit the squad, I think?!

    The reserves as such were done away with a while back. The arranged games mainly consist of the lads from the development squad and a couple of fringe first teamers who might be recovering from injury etc..

    Chelsea captain John Terry has told Sky Sports News that Luka Modric has been disrespectful to Tottenham for trying to engineer a move to Stamford Bridge. :confused:

    It was Sky misquouting him he said it would be disrespectful for himself to talk about it because he is still a Spurs player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    Well, what do yis think, certainly trying to force it, or is it his agent and roman :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,290 ✭✭✭Leinstersqspur


    Can't believe it! This is the same guy that said the following when signing his 6yr contract: "Tottenham Hotspur gave me my chance in the Premier League and I want to go on to achieve great success here with them. Yes, there have been enquiries from other big clubs, but I have no interest in going anywhere. Last season's top-four finish was an indication of where we are as a Club and I feel I can continue to improve and go on to achieve everything I want to at Spurs.

    If he said he didn't wanna play the club should fine him a months wages or sue him for breach of contract! Never thought he would go, looking ominous now...

    Levy will have to reinvest quickly to halt our season falling apart!

    Anyone read 'the people' newspaper this morning.
    BAE gave "his frankest interview" ever etc etc.
    According to BAE, "All" the spurs players in the dressing room are actively encouraging Modric to go to chelsea .. "its a once in a life time oppurtunity" and other such quotes.



    Apart from that, the same paper has a column from Stan 'f**king Collymore where he states Modric is a disgrace for his behaviour and for basically going on strike... Is Collymore for real? Talk about pot-kettle-black!!

    looks like he's staying :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    Surpised Levy stuck to his word, can't see that much being offered for Modric again. Can't see him giving 100% every week considering it doesn't look like he wants to be there.
