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!

    My heart says let him rot but in reality that isn’t going to happen.
    My head says let him go…..but only abroad and if we have to accept £25m so be it. If he stays the whole affair will fester and cause more harm to the team. Levy should issue a statement that Spurs will not deal with Chelsea at any price. He should complain to EPL that Modric has been tapped and as they(Chelsea) are already on a suspension for similar offences a points deduction should be enforced. No good complaining about corruption at FIFA if we can’t deal with it within our own national boundaries.
    Earlier in the summer I thought selling Modric would end my 40 year love affair with Tottenham but in the end the club is bigger than any player. Think logically, does it work with Modric and VDV in the same team? Losing Sandro would be a far bigger loss in my opinion. We can’t accomodate 2 wingers and a touch player in the midfield 4.
    A end to this saga is needed quickly so that team rebuilding can start in earnest.

    As usual this is another cock-up because this club is incapable of keeping anything behind closed doors for more than 5 minutes. It’s bad enough having a motormouth of a manager who can’t keep his jowly gob shut, even when it comes to making a few bob (tax-free on expenses no doubt?) on ghosted articles in the tabloids. Then the pint-sized Napoleon of a Chairman goes public about how he’s going to play tough, even before talking to the player.

    So now Modric starts playing the media games as well, and the two midgets are in a war of words about who promised what to whom.

    Pathetic. Now sort it all out you trio of plonkers.

    They tell you to satnd up to bullys and this is what Levey has done now some of our fans act like cowards and say sell him . If Enic cant wup the Russians Oil stealer’s and American dept collectors then we should sell to the Chinese they say if they all jump at once there will be a World earthquake that’s some serious powerful shit and would mean Super Spurs super power owners. Modric would be under house arrest for five years and our cockerel would be eaten .
