Neil Custis of the sun.

Neil
Custis Wants Modric





The
Sun's jouralist, Neil Custis, who I respected up until I read his
article in today's Sun (Manchester
United want to sign Luka Modric), really should learn to
research his stories a little better, instead of pouring his masters
words onto the canvas.

"Modric signed for Spurs from Dinamo
Zagreb in 2008 after impressing for Croatia in the European
Championships."

The keyword in that sentence is "after". Is that
poor research or what? Maybe it's been a slow day in the press? Neil
Custis obviously has been having one of those days. We all have them,
so it's really not his fault that he forgot Daniel Levy brokered a deal
with Dinamo Zagreb, BEFORE the 2008 Euro's.

Mr. Custis also
forgot to mention that Manchester United are stone-broke. Well, I say
he failed to mention it, but in fact, towards the end of his article, he
eluded to as much by insinuating that Michael Carrick could be a part
of the deal that takes The Modfather to Old Trafford.

Neil; maybe
you should take some pointers off of your brother in future.

The
thing that does worry me, is that Neil Custis is fairly close with his
master, Sir Alex Ferguson. I also know that it's about this time of the
year in which the top journo's get together with their favoured bosses,
for an analysis of the season thus far. It's also the time of year in
which Fergie labels his prime targets to Custis and other reporters;
knowing all to well that the Geordie and others, will report on the
players Fergie would like to sign. Both know what this kind of
reporting will do, and both realise that it could be effective.

I
personally think they're both forgetting that Tottenham Hotspur are run
by a certain Daniel Levy. Custis mentions a possible £25 million fee
for Luka Modric. Obviously, he wasn't around on the day Levy skinned
United for just over £31 million for an ageing striker.

I luv him too Marky. I think Modric is brilliant.
