Modders Opens His Heart To Croatian Press

Good morning again, then.

More from our boy. I have translated via Google as my Croatian is actually weaker than my English if you can imagine quite how feeble that must be.I have in brackets made tweaks that hopefully add to the report being more readable without in anyway attempting to put a spin on things.

So what happened to the 40-minute get-together with the President of the Spurs?

‘I must first say that I am sincerely disappointed with the way President Levy did communicate with me. He was waiting for me [it was a ]cold [and] pretty arrogant performance has given me the knowledge that [he] really do not care what I [said] to him.  It was [the] kind of approach only further convinced that [I wasn’t] wrong in the decision to change the environment.

[I reminded the] President of our gentlemen’s agreement of last summer when we were in Dubrovnik [and] agreed a contract extension with Tottenham. Then I talked openly with Levy that in perspective, if a concrete offer of a large team, then we will consider the offer and negotiate the best solution for all of us. The President then said “OK, we’ll sit and talk.” Now Levy to co-opt, do not want to talk to and he told me in a raunchy way that there is no chance for me to leave Tottenham …
What does this mean a raunchy way?

‘He threatened me, if you do not accept that his club’s stance, then they will send me on a bench or stand, and we talked about the option of other team Tottenham.
‘There is no doubt that Chelsea is interested in my transfer, after they sent a concrete offer from Tottenham which means that I want [to accept]. I know that the new Chelsea coach said he would like to see me in his team. Of course I am flattered [with]  interest in [me] this club that offers what all players dream, [which] is a fight for trophies on all fronts.

‘When [I]first [knew of ] Chelsea’s official offer, I felt that he came [the right] moment.  I talked a long time with his family and to the people whose opinions I hold, I thought, weighed, and finally realized that this [outcome] was best for me and the club.

What if Levy does not let go?

I have not thought about it at all because such a solution [is] definitely not good for anyone. Again, I have already told the President last summer that [should an ]offer as in the case of Chelsea [be made then both parties] should find an agreement on mutual satisfaction. So I hope that you will eventually understand the situation and that we will achieve harmony and disperse in an appropriate manner.

Smacks of naivety on the part of Modders and brinkmanship on the part of Levy & Co.

When people sign contracts they need to read what it is that both parties are agreeing to. I bet you Ledley King’s contract doesn’t say he can use the chairman’s pool.

BIOYC!

    A spell cleaning cars in the car park for Harry and Luka. What part of it is at its end did they not understand. The blame for this can be left at Harry’s, why is he bigging Chelsea in the rag today. Fuck knows what he has said to Luka off the record, but thats what happens when you have a two faced wanker managing a club

      How is this Harry’s fsult? If the wee scroat wants away and does a berbatov to engineer it let him rot in the reserves. Why would we sell to a club who we will be competing against. We are not that far from Chelsea anymore and Modric is part of the reason why. I am so sick of the Harry bashing, he is without a doubt the best manager we have had for a very long time. So what if he speaks his mind, tells it as he sees it. That is his perogative. As you say, you don’t know what if anything he has said to Modric. You’re a muppet!!
      COYS!!

    ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’?!?!? Who ever heard of such a thing in a football contract. Where was Modric’s agent amidst all this gentlemanly negotiating? Presumably busy working out his cut of the pay hike and not bothering to advise his client. Seems like if this is true, a, Modric is extremely dim-witted, and b, he has been let down by his agent and indeed Levy. Sadly, this also means he seemingly still thinks he is leaving and is thinking about forcing it. No mention of how 22m was a pathetic offer, and one which was only made because Chelsea obviously already made their interest crystal clear to him.

    But anyway, what’s all this about Levy speaking to him in a ‘raunchy way’? In my mind I see little Daniel in full Alan Partridge mode: ‘You want me to lap-dance for you?’

  • Gilzeans Comb says:

    To be honest just let him go…He doesn’t want to play in our shirt and would rather play with fat Frank and co…Another disappointment, no transfers happening same as usual at the Lane…Lets hope Levy can produce something like VDV…

  • Flipper says:

    Levy has sat down and discussed the matter with Modric and decided the best solution is for him to stay…may not be the spirit of the gentleman’s agreement but he’s still abiding by it. It’s much the same as Modric saying he won’t ask for a transfer, but then telling everyone just how unhappy he is with everything. It’s shades of grey from both sides. Most worrying though is it sounds like Levy has stuck his cock in Modric’s ear whilst telling him he has to stay. Bit OTT.

  • Chrispurs says:

    If Modric, had a bad injury and was out for 6 years. The term of his contract, he’d expect the club to honour the contract, and to be paid. Nuff said Guv!
