Waheey!
Modders agentĀ Nikky Vuksan has told BBC Sport,
“I don’t think he’ll hand in a transfer request. He will honour his contract. He wants to play Champions League and win trophies. The only way we can resolve this is to sit down and talk. Luka will report today for training and will do his best, as always.”
“I have never been in a situation before where a player has had to fight a club and it’s not something we want to do. The only official offer so far is from Chelsea and we haven’t talked to any clubs. It’s no surprise that there is interest in Luka though, because he is a top, top player.”
Turned out nice again.
Modrics quote when he signed his six year contract last summer:
“Tottenham Hotspur gave me my chance in the Premier League and I want to go on to achieve great success here with them.
“Yes, there have been enquiries from other big clubs, but I have no interest in going anywhere.
“Last season’s top four finish was an indication of where we are as a club and I feel I can continue to improve and go on to achieve everything I want to at Spurs.”
Stick to it Luka.
Wont stop the Mail and the Sun making up quotes from insiders and friends. Stick to your guns Levy and get about doing your business now and early!
I still blame Harry for a hand in unsettling Modric, just as us supporters were unsettle by him at the back end of the season.

So where are all the NewsNow feeds as the tabloids draw a final line under the story? None to be seen, such a story is a back page screenwipe, a journalistic honourable admission of failure. Ha!
The tabloids have been bought and paid for (Apart from Martin Samuel it has to be said, who has surprised me in all of this), and the desperation that they’ve been showing in pursuing this non-story can only come from someone who has a Russian applying pressure to them. Anyone who’s worked on a deadline with a Russian client will know how that feels.
I’m reminded of the scene in the Godfather with Michael Corleone (played by Daniel Levy) and the Senator Pat Geary (played by Abramovich) who was going to “squeeze the Corleone family..”, and Michael said “Uh, senator — you can have my answer now if you like. My offer is this — nothing.”
I kneel to kiss your hand, Don Levy!
The only unfortunate thing in this whole imbroglio is that it is clear that we have a ot of image making to do.
After all, Daniel Levy does look like a Malteser.
Is there a potential award for using a word that’s never been used on a blog before? HH, can you verify whether ‘Imbroglio’ is making it’s debut?
*applause*
*resounding applause*
[Imbroglio’s still with the MO. That’s on the QT, TTFN]
Happy to accept milk tokens, or a bag of Maltesers
How about some Rolo’s presented by Natalie Imbruglia for your Imbroglio?
I would willingly lie down and absorb the rolos from her sweaty pores – ahh, now there’s a thought.
Mmmmmmm. NOT YOUR SWEATY PORES BY THE WAY! (Just thought I’d clarify that).
:blink:
“Sweaty Pores boo bop a loo bop” was one of her major breakthrough singles – “Not your sweaty pores” was Chas n Dave circa 1782
Gertcha.
Thanks for explaining the subtext of that scene to me. I had never quite understood it before.
