Modric Talks About Transfer.

Luka Modric


I've so far stayed out of the talk surrounding his
possible exit from the club because of the arguments it was caused, in
all honesty, due to bitterness of Spurs fans who can't wait and see and
feel the need to jump down the throats of supporters of any club that
dare say anything we don't want to hear!

But now there's another
quote I don't know if it was originally Croatian and translated back
but we can't keep using that to explain away the anything we don't like.
Luka Modric IS putting himself in the shop window, there was even a
hint of desperation in this latest quote... 'I'm a Tottenham player
and will be in London on July 7 to begin preparing for the season, but I
want to say that transfers could occur later.

"In England it is often the case they happen on the last day of the transfer period, August 31.

'So
it is pointless to worry about anything now. If my situation changes
after the start of preparation it would not be a problem.'

He
sounds like a Supermarket offering some special prices... 'Hello
prospective buyers, I will be back training at Spurs when the pre season
commences, but, PLEASE don't forget you can still buy me after that
point... remember I can still be bought up to the 31st of August... I
don't mind, honestly, as late as you want, I'll be here.... waiting'.

I'm
not a pessimist, I know I will get some abuse for my view but if you
read what he's said, he didn't need to add the last bit, he could have
just said 'wait and see'... but he elaborated to remind people he could
still leave. I'm worried, really worried. Normally after hearing that I
would want any other player to go, get some money, rebuild. But I do
genuinely believe if he stays he would still be devoted to the club
while he was here, so I would like us to basically refuse to do
business.

I always preferred it when players were honest, but
hearing these hints from Godric is breaking my heart, all I wanted to
hear was... 'I'll give it one more year no matter what, if we're not
there next year then I will look to move on'. Failing that, I've decided
I would actually rather he lied so I could be angry with him and be
glad to see the back of him (Berba style) instead of feeling like I've
just found out Giggs, Terry and Ashley Cole were on a night out with my
Girlfriend!

This may be a bit of a ramble, I may have read too
much into it. I've written this feeling rather emotional so it may not
be particularly concise! Tell I'm wrong and I'm worried about nothing.
What do you guys think?

hes off, lets be honest we will never keep our best players until we become more consistent. my main worry is keeping lennon, the games i went to last season even when coming off the bench he frightened the sh*t out of defences. its not his fault if the forwards didnt convert his chances. i saw the frustration in his face sometimes thinking what the hell am i doing here. i hope to god he stays

hope your right ion, but after hearing all the " HES NOT FOR SALE " and "WERE BUILDING A TEAM NOT DISMANTLING ONE " for many a season now, it does make you a bit cynical. none of us want mods to go but im of the opinion now that if he does he does and i wont be shedding tears over it. my hopes have been ripped out of me to many times now , so whatever happens, happens. its like groundhog bloody day only on a yearly basis lol

yeah your right but we cant change anything, so what happens happens. i just dont want to get my hopes up till the first day of the season , then we start all over again and forget all our past heros and support the new ones we pin our hopes on. my days of thinking players love the club are long gone with the mabbuts and roberts of their time. i know i prob sound negative but i just got back from a med cruise yesterday and i thinking about work monday lol

Manchester City are set to spark a three-way auction for Luka Modric after declaring their intent to sign the Tottenham midfielder.

Roberto Mancini has identified the skilful Croat as the creative talent who can help spearhead City's assault on the Champions League and Barclays Premier League title next season and is ready to start the bidding at around £30million.

But the Italian won't have an easy run to Modric as Chelsea and Manchester United are determined to sign the 25-year-old.


Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, in particular, is an admirer of Modric and will match City all the way in a bidding war that Tottenham will find hard to resist.

Sir Alex Ferguson fears being priced out of the move as he lines up other targets, with City ready to treble Modric's £55,000-a-week salary and Abramovich set on Champions League success.


Harry Redknapp has branded Modric 'irreplaceable' and chairman Daniel Levy insists no stars will be sold this summer as he again fights to qualify for Europe.

But his failure to do so this year has left Spurs vulnerable to bids.

Modric said: 'If there will be an offer which will be good for Tottenham and for me also, then a transfer is of course possible.'



He again failed to commit to the club on Friday, saying: 'I'm a Tottenham player and will be in London on July 7 to begin preparing for the season, but I want to say that transfers could occur later.'

Modric is on 70k a week from what i can remember, but i'm not sure if that was before or after he signed a new 6-year contract.
