The 8 O’Clocker: Modric Unhappy, Samba Wants Out, Remy Deal Off…

Good evening.

This window is so quiet if you close your eyes you can just see Ted Moult pondering over which feather to use. But will Arry fit the best into this the Best Performing Side Since ’61™?

“I’m staying,” Loic Remy told Canal+. “I will 100 per cent stay at Marseille until the end of the season and even the end of my contract.

“I have spoken with the president and the staff. And it would not be right for me to leave this club.

“We’ll see next summer but that’s not even in my head for now.”

Closer to home a young man by the name of Christopher Samba has handed in his notice at Blackburn Rovers. This is hardly a seismic announcement. He was quoted saying, “things have not gone as I was told , it is time for a change”.

He is probably telling the truth. I’m not familiar with every single detail of the ins and outs of the Venky Operation but as I say, ‘you don’t need to fall off a chair to know it probably hurts.’

If I was Blackburn fan I would have had more respect for them if they had simply renamed the club The Peri Peri Pirates.

But what Blackburn got were two three halfwit rumours/threats/lies about Emporer Franz Beckenbauer and Geoff Hurst or similar joining them. It would have been more credible if they’d have said that Nick Griffin was signing.

Steve Kean was recruited for his ability to say,’ yes’ and the only money they put in was to service existing debt. Oh and of course the cash they had to give the Trustees. Anyway, that’s their business. 

Modric is ‘unhappy’ says Garth Crooks in his Tean Of The Week column. I wouldn’t go for Garth’s throat though. I see in the little Croat’s body language he’s got issues. I don’t trust him and therefore I’m just hoping we get as much out of him on the pitch before next summer and then as much off the pitch for him in pounds, shillings and pence.

    Stupid headline Harry – every 1 in 10 has to be
    Your site is losing respect weekly, this is 2 bad ones in a row

  • Rupert says:

    Oh and Modders looked pretty chipper after his goal – and he’s doing reports on Spurs website about not panicking

  • TD says:

    I thought journalists were good at twisting words to suit their agenda but you take the biscuit.

    Garth Crooks actually said ‘i hear through the grapevine that Modric is unhappy…..WITH THE AMOUNT OF GAMES HE HAS TO PLAY IN THE PREMIERSHIP’ which is rather different from reporting Modric is unhappy isn’t it?.

    And as someone who hasn’t missed a game this season i find it incredible that you suggest his body language hints at ‘issues’ !.What on earth gives you that impression,clearly not the way he plays his heart out every week or how he celebrated his goal on Saturday.Very weird comments imo,but obviously you have your own agenda.

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      TD might I ask, what gives you the certain belief that your opinion on Modric is in anyway superior to mine or indeed anyone else’s?

      Ahhhh I geddit, an unchecked arrogance and an overwhelming desire to tell any poor bastard that might listen that you get to lots of games.

    • onedavemackay says:

      So you think Modders is gonna stay ?

      It’s true that he plays as if there is no problem but the buzz in the football media is that he’ll probably go in the summer. Maybe, if nobody big enough is interested and we’re in the CL he may reconsider but as Arry says if someone offers to treble your wages your head will be turned.

  • Garth Crooks scored the “other” goal in 1981 against a brutal citeh.

  • 4 Ever Hopeful says:

    I think ratboy will go in the summer. His body language this season always comes over like he is doing us a favour.

    So could it be that Harry’s real mission last night was Eden Hazard rather than Loic Remy, who never looks to have been available anyway, which surely Harry would have known?
