Modric/Bale the other side of the coin.

Spurs are not willing to sell Modric AND Bale

Tottenham will not be entertaining any bids for their key
players this summer, news that will disappoint the likes of Manchester
United and Chelsea along with dozens of journalists and sports writers across the country.

Luka
Modric and Gareth Bale - both on long term contracts will remain at
White Hart Lane as the North London club look to reignite their push for
a Champions League spot next season.

Dearmrlevy.com understands
that chairman Daniel Levy will only sell players considered to be
surplus to requirements. The likes of Alan Hutton and Jamie O'Hara, more
viable transfer targets for any one looking to spend some cash in N17.

The
main focus for the chairman and manager, Henry James 'Harry' Redknapp,
is to pin point new recruits with a centre-forward the main goal for the
club. Daniel Levy has already reiterated they will not be selling any
of their key players and are in a strong position to once more battle
for a top four place if they strengthen their squad accordingly.

A
source within the walls of White Hart Lane revealed, "I think people
are using their hands to count up numbers in the dark rather than a
trusted calculator in the light of day. £20M-£25M for a player Spurs
paid £16.5M for is laughable considering his form and quality and even
more so that Levy would be willing to entertain offers from a Champions
League club as though we're sat 10th in the table with no hope of
further progression".
The source also stated '...you wouldn't sell someone a twenty pound note for a quid'.
Luka Modric himself recently spoke about his desire to stay, "The
fans are amazing, the club is amazing. There are Croatians here. I
really do enjoy it here. I’m not missing anything. I think this club
can achieve a lot of great things. I think we can challenge for the
Premier League and the cups".
Welsh wizard Gareth Bale also pledged his loyalty to the Lilywhites
in an Interview with Sky Sports News. But there are suggestions from
some quarters that perhaps CGI and audio manipulation were used in both
instances by Tottenham to hide the reality that both players are
desperate for a move away.
Elsewhere, tabloid newspapers will wait another three days before
rehashing the same quotes with additional ambiguity and citing Modric
and Bale as £18M targets (value will drop with each exclusive) as they
continue to unofficially broker a deal for any Champions League side
that might be theoretically interested. Along with Juventus.
Potential replacements for Modric will only cost around £8M because
it's the right amount of money to spend when replacing a player that is
worth anywhere between £30M - £40M in todays inflated market.
In other news, if Manchester United or Chelsea or Manchester City for
that matter do not sign Modric or Bale this summer, they most
definitely will the following because Tottenham can't possibly finish
back in the top four and retain their key players a second successive
summer if they return to Europe's elite competition. That is simply not a
viable scenario and we shall not speak of it again.

Cheers ion. I had to look hard for that mind. It's all doom and gloom for us on the net and in the papers mate.
