The morning after the night before.
Modric goes to Zabgreb to have a formal wedding ceremony in a church after an earlier registry office job. The only story to emerge in the Croatian press is that he went out for crab with another couple and had a nice time.
Next, we get ‘exclusive’ interviews with the player presumably via his Boatphone telling us how sweetly we’ll all get along when he’s got Samsung written on his chest.
Levy & Co have been forced to issue a statement this morning. It’s emphatic and more to the point it reveals that Cheatski have been revealed yet again operating in a dubious manner in relation to transfers.
Abramovich is probably too smart to let the trail of tapping up lead to his door, but Modric better get himself a good lawyer to assist him in when he’s back on dry land. His part time football agent/part time dry cleaner chappy is now out of his depth.
The grim specter of replacing Luka Modric with Scott Parker looms.
So to the others. A chap on Spurs Community Akqayid, says that Bentley, Wilson and J**** have all gone. To whom, for what he doesn’t reveal. Maybe on a bear hunt, or a goose chase. It’s that time of the year.
Tommorow’s headline? – “Lucre Modic”
“Lucre Modric” oops
I admire Levy’s stance but the fact that Modric has publicly stated his wish to leave is the Berbatov situation all over again. The more worring fact for me is that this will run and run and ruin us focusing on getting in new players to propell us forward, as when berbatov eventually left there was no time to get a replacement and it cost us dear for the season, IE two points from eight games and facing relegation.
How did the Berbatov thing work out for us?
I forgot we had 2 points from 8 games. Nobody ever mentions that fact!!!
So right Catcher! How we deal with this will shape our season. Levy is a smart bloke though… I am sure he sees the danger of a repeat of the Berbatov-Keane exit scenario. I think his statement was a good move. Redknapp has made similar noises, but he opens his wouth so often nobody takes notice :lol:
I had to laugh at Harry’s interview the other day. “Well, that’s silly money. He’s worth much more than that. We’ve been quote that for people that aren’t fit to lace his boots. His worth double that…. But he’s not for sale.” No. Of course not, Harry.
Levy has responded quickly.
That’s what we want isn’t it?
Fabregas stayed. We need to stay strong.
We’ll get another season from Modric, perhaps. His value will not diminish in one more year.
If we are not in the CL 2012/13 then let him go.
I agree with everything aside from his value won’t diminish. It could, maybe he’ll be enjoying his football less, maybe that will come out in his game. He’s not the same guy Berbs is for that, but it may play a part. That said, I don’t want to sell him at any point
‘Luka Commoderic’ as the brown stuff hits the fan…
commodity or commode?
