Modric For Torres Swap

Image for Modric For Torres Swap

Good morning. 

I like Danny Kelly. I think the watershed moment that turned my head was THIS. And this morning he demonstrated his unerring ability to do his job well rather than just regurgitate all the usual…

Would you swap Torres for Modders? 

The addition of Adebayor I am convinced will ultimately proved to be an inspired move. Is he the world’s greatest striker? Well perhaps not as we speak. But he’s a player that evidently thrives on being given a new lease of life. Imagine a scenario were another household name were to join him.

Torres against the immediate and perhaps somewhat harrowing backdrop of his Liverpool form had a good spell one season and then went right off the boil. His £50M price tag requires not a pinch of salt but the complete suspension of ones disbelief. The figure reflected the buyers ambition, not the market value of the product.

Modric we know and indeed must accept is – barring an act of God – or a treble winning season, not stopping long. And so of all the guff that the transfer rumour mongers generate, this concoction might not have legs, but it’s difficult to deny it has a pretty face. 

I know some reading this will be unthinkingly dismissive. Buy I tell you this. If you want to predict the future just think up that which is seemingly crazy today. Garages selling ice cold beers, Adebayor and Gallas in Tottenham shirts…

BIOYC!

    Yes please

    Dawson is out for 2 months (Time Wounds All Heels).
    We’ll have to struggle on to January with Charlie and Thudd in central defence in Europe and the League Cup, and then use the Modric cash for a centre half. Shoulda thought of that this summer.
    If only we had a good young defender who could play those games. Hang on, what about Caulker? Oh yes, I’d forgotten.
    Another brilliant summer transfer window gone by. It’s no use Arry moaning now, though it won’t stop him. Should have been dealt with before.

    • Stu Barney says:

      Is he out with injury or for taking an illegal substance? Only kidding as he does not seem the type…but after watching Dispatches last night I will never fully trust a “sudden” long term injury announcement again!!

      Hmmm, Azza Blud is out for a bit…..not implying anything there!

  • Pete says:

    Don’t be silly. The reason Modric wants out is because we can’t match the salary Chelsea are offering. Torres is on even more than that so it is a ridiculous suggestion.

  • Honest spur says:

    Once again you have consistently demonstrated what an attention seeking sad twat you really are. Give it a rest please you idiot until you have some facts to comment on! Stop creating sensationalist headlines to promote your shitty site via newsnow.

    Can’t wait for Harry to go in order for your site to become defunct and irrelevant…it’s halfway there

    • Hartley says:

      I think the best response here would be…….’yawn’ :gaehn:

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      So to recap, once again then, you have clicked on a site you do not like. I’m struggling to work out if that is my fault or yours.
      Can I get back you?

    • MysteriousStranger says:

      I just love Honest Spur’s ignorance to the history of Tottenham, that he somehow thinks that Harry Hotspur’s site name/moniker is somehow related to the presence of Harry Redknapp at our club.

      As stupid posts go, this one is a highlight. :daumen:

      • TMWNN says:

        That is incredibly ignorant on two counts.

        I actually thought he was implying that the sole reason for this site was providing a platform to slag off rent-of-gob, and that once he’s fucked off there won’t be many other comments thus making the site ‘defunct’´- silly me. :sideways:

        • MysteriousStranger says:

          My bad. I shall resume slagging off Redknapp shortly. The defending of him as I have done recently is out of character, however I am confident he will annoy me in the next month. :daumen:

      • johnhalloween says:

        and here i was going to suggest a failsafe that if harry goes we could re name it jose-hotspur

    • essexian76 says:

      Harry who mate? does anyone her know a Harry?

  • totallytottenham says:

    Unfortunately I don’t think this speculative suggestion has legs. Torres was bought by the owner. The very reason they want modders so badly is to release torres earlier. And fully unlock his potential fully. Also we,d have to smash our wage ceiling! More chance of keeping little luka.
