Let's be Honest about Modric

I'm a bit late in contributingt to this thread, but, must say well done to Levy for showing some some Balls.

To say I'm p*ssed off with Modders is putting it planly. He suggest that we not ambitious and then has the cheek to have the ump when we wont sell him to our competitors. The man desrerved the reality check handed out from Levy. Modric, must be aware of the message that puts out when we are trying to bring in other players, so that we can challenge, if he not aware then he is a c.u.n.t.

End of Rant.

Better Now.

Seems that Modric is now alledging Levy broke a "gentlemens" agreement with him. How true this is I cannot say, yet it is written by the BBC chief football reporter. Would he post an article in the public domain he could not substantiate ??? Modric is alleged to claim that should a bigger club come in for him (you know a club steeped in history & tradition ! ! !) that they would talk and find the best solution. Seems like Levy has done that, should the interview be true. Also it is alleged that he will warm the bench or sit in the stands. There you go Luka that's the way things can sometimes go, especcially if a season ago you sign an extended contract and say you are more than happy to stay at Spurs for the forseeable future.

Tottenham broke agreement, claims Luka Modric
By Phil McNulty
Chief football writer


Tottenham will stand firm on their refusal to sell Luka Modric - even after his claim that chairman Daniel Levy reneged on an agreement by rejecting a £22m bid from Chelsea.

BBC Sport understands Spurs will insist there was no agreement made between Modric and Levy.

Modric said: "Last summer [Levy] said we would find a satisfactory agreement if a club like Chelsea came in.

"I hope eventually we go our separate ways in an appropriate manner."

Modric's representative told BBC Sport on Thursday that he would not ask for a transfer, but the 25-year-old made his discontent clear in an interview with Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti.

Chelsea retain an interest in Modric and their need for increased midfield reinforcements is now more urgent after Michael Essien suffered another knee injury in training.
Modric's criticism will not force a change in policy from Levy, who remains adamant no price could tempt him to sell despite what appears to be his increasing dissatisfaction.

"A lot has been published in the press about the meeting with Levy, who gave the public a twisted account of what happened," Modric said.

"I must say that I am genuinely disappointed about what Levy said to me. He didn't care about what I was telling him. It all only convinced me further that I was right to consider moving on to another club.

"I reminded the chairman of our gentlemen's agreement when we were in Dubrovnik last summer and I agreed a contract extension with Tottenham. Then I had an open chat with Levy - that if a bigger club came in with a concrete offer, we would consider it and agree the best solution for all concerned.

"The chairman said, 'OK, we'll sit and talk [about any offers]'. Now Levy doesn't want to talk to me and said there is no possibility that I can leave Spurs.

"He threatened me - he said if I didn't accept the club's stance, they would make me sit on the bench or in the stands."

well if this is all true then i say get a massive fee for him and let him bugger off.get some fresh talent in quick and start planning for the season ahead before all this sh*t de rails our season before we even kick a ball. think levy will be worried about losing face over all this now though so looks like its going to drag on and on. very dissapointed in his attitude IF he has said all this.

i dont have a problem with levy. i have said many times hes done wonders for the club

its harry i have a problem with, hes not used to lookin for top players. he didnt sign saurze on the say so of hes scout. but dont worry harrys court case if up soon so he wont be at pre season or looking at players

yep take a stand, unless we get sumthing stupid like 50 mill then let him rot in the reserves. 20 mill is not high enough

He just a ungrateful little croatian tosser Why does he want to go to Chelsea so much be terrys bum boy or he likes they way they cheat and get the refs decions goal never over line offside goal Keane getting brought down for a pen never given season before last. Arry hes a good lad yes my a*se hes a baby and must be really thick he says if a offer come in whats is good for both parties then he can talk 22 Million for you is not good you stupid little alien if it was 50 mil maybe. Hes worse than Berba and Keane August 31 10.35 pm Modric will be a Chelsea player and Levy will be made to look like a baked bean

i say let him go, but not to chelsea or utd or city. why strengthen our rivals. put him in the shop window and for the right price sell him abroad cos if its that bad at spurs im sure he will want to go.there will be buyers abroad im sure."if an offer comes in thats good for both parties",well im sorry, selling to another premier lge club will not be.tought him abroad and get rid of the horrible little cnut.dont think hes gonna be welcome at the lane much now hes started all this crying.tell the media levy he can go because of all the trouble its causing thfc, but only abroad and for the right price. i wont blame levy if that happens.

I went to Hampshire this morning and came back this evening so I have been in the car a lot of the time and have Talk Sport on all day and every presenter has had a phone in or an opinion on the Modric situation. Practically everyone of them have been saying Spurs are being unfair to Modric and should let him go,

The worst show was Adrian Durham this evening. I don't know if anybody else heard him but his entire show was knocking Spurs and saying the most outrageous things like Levy has dragged Spurs into the gutter and it is only fair that he should be allowed to go to a BIGGER !!! club.I'm effing and blinding at the radio and I'll tell you if I had been in the same room I would have chinned the b*stard. He said the same thing a few months ago when Bale had those great games in the CL and he said then that Bale needed to move on to a bigger club.

Now anybody that has listened to him over the last couple of years knows what a tosser he is and knows very little about football all though he thinks that he is the worlds top authority.

But these things are picked up by the press and reported for all Spurs players to see and in my opinion has a knock on effect. Other players that we are looking at read it and may think Spurs are not an ambitious club and wont come here.

I'll tell you it was a long depressing ride and it wasn't the hold up on the M25 either it was listening to the ginger whinger going on and on about we have no ambition and will now be down with the also rans like Villa and Everton.

The big thing was Modric quoted as saying that Levy has broken a gents agreement and nobody can trust him anymore and that he said he will leave him up in the stands if he puts in a transfer request.

Now I don't know if he did or he didn't, in fact no one does except the two of them. But my opinion on the situation for what it's worth is don't sell him and play him and I guarantee he will play to the best of his ability. It's all about pride and I think deep down Modric is an honest player and wouldn't let his team down.In fact that is my take on any player that wants to leave but has a contract and I believe there are less sulkers like Berbatoss than honest players and I'm sure it would work but nobody ever puts it to the test they always give in to the player in the end.

Ferguson got Ronaldo to stay another year although he was desperate to leave then got 80mil but he played well that season.Fabregas has wanted to go to Barcelona for two seasons and even if he goes this year he still played well for
the Gooners
So keep Modric, sure he will be unhappy but he will soon get into the swing of things and if we start well and its looking good for next year he will forget all about it.
