11 O’Clocker – £22M Bid Dismissed

Good evening fight fans.

Word in from Roger Morgan on Spurs Odyssey is that a bid of £22M has come in and been rejected from ….Chelsea Football Club.  Ol’ Rog has had a few triumphs in the past and I’d be stunned if this isn’t in a major newspaper in the morning.

£22M? Mmmnn. In the shadow of the Torres ‘swoop’ it seems a bit naffin’ short on the jolly. But that was a bid apart. It came from Abramovich. Detach emotion and £22M is probably no more than £10M off the market worth.

‘Do wot H? You slag!!!’

And breathe. You do not get mental money for stellar players like Modders in the Premiership from Premiership sides.  Bids that size of bid only comes in for English ‘punts’ for the future. Didn’t you get the memo?

      What d’ya mean “by the time the season kicks off” I’m already a Trotter translator, its only june. I’m off to saute my bouncy castle. Horlicks?

    It’s as I have already said on another thread.

    Tottingham’s transfer policy is quality out (Modders) and mediocrity in (Joe Cole, Pin Head and Parker).

    Even if we get Diarra (spelling) as well at £20 million+ what’s the fucking point?

    Comolli is beginning to look like a genius in comparison.

    • onedavemackay says:

      Commolli is an idiot who couldn’t tell the difference between a forward and a goalkeeper.

      If a player wants to go there is very little any club can do to stop them and if Modders goes it won’t be because DL wants to sell him it will be because Luka wants the move.

      • eastanglianspur says:

        And if that IS the case then it’s because Modders knows that THFC sees itself as nothing but a mid-table second rate team and aspires to nothing better than mediocrity. QED

        If I were him, I would fucking leave too.

        Didn’t Comolli bring Bale & Modders to us? Yeah that’s right, an idiot.

    If we sell the Modfather to the chavs – would the last fan to leave WHL please turn out the lights.

  • Tommy Puddle says:

    Not only an insult to the club but an insult to the player himself!

    £22m is an absolute disgrace.

  • Devonshirespur says:

    If you look at Chelsea, the likes of Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Cole, Malouda, Essien….basically the core of their team, they are all getting older.

    It showed last season that they were not the force they once were. There is little fresh blood in the team…Luiz, Ramires thats about it. Players like Kalou and Mikel have alwyas been fringe players. God knows what Torress will offer next season. He may be awesome, he may be a spent force!

    Fact is they are vulnerable unless they continue to spend on a huge level. We cannot afford to be strengthening the likes of Chelsea. We were only 9 points behind them and although both teams had bad spells, our 1 victory in 10 games was by far the worst spell of anyone in the top 6.

    £22m is an insult, designed to trun Modder’s head. I hope this is not some behind the scenes plan to get Modric to put in a transfer request. I also think that CFC recognise that others will be in for Modric, and a bidding wear may insue, so get in their first, start low and let it takes its course! If they start high, the likes of City will always offer £1m more.
