If Luka leaves there's only one man to blame

[piedpiper]

i don't blame modric for wanting to leave at all. he has been a great servant of the club and as a club we have showed no real ambition to be part of the title contenders. just go back to the june-aug window after we attained CL qualification. we did not go out and sign the requisite quality to 1. ensure that we can challenge and go as far as we could and 2. that we can realistically compete for a place in this seasons competition and compete for the title.

i think fans that start calling the guy all kind of names are despicable. he is ambitious and wants to win titles and cups that is every players dream. we have not even won a cup during his 3 year stay. As a side note i think we will do fine without him.

If he wants to go then Fuck him. But he only goes to a club that offers us the best deal. Then get in replacements before we sell the little ****. See if we settle for Adam and parker, ill be buying nothing from spurs this season, no new kits, no tickets nothing. If we get say £40m we could easily get llorente javi martinez and maybe thiago, the club is going to have to show some ambition by signing players if modric goes.

If we have to sell we need to let him go abroad. No point in letting the teams above us get stronger. We will never get anywhere if we do this as everyone already knows.

Cant see why he's a **** for wanting to leave we haven't really shown much ambition since qualifying for the champions league. Not sure we would quite get 40m. We need to tell him to stay and show ambition by signing some quality players. Not the other way round.

The whole thing looks like a tap up to me anyway, so that Chelsea can turn his head and return to Tottenham more in the driving seat.
It wasnt exactly working for them when they were entering a pathetic bid and Modric was saying he wasnt really bothered about leaving.

Chelsea have done this on purpose IMO start with a low bid, tap the player up, think Spurs will be resigned to loosing him, come back with an improved bif of £25m and try to get him on the cheap.

We should tell Modric we want at least one more season to see what we can achieve with a couple of more signings

The bottom line is Modric's under contract. We're in the driving seat and for once we have to show resolve bottle balls and lots of courage. Modric is like another player looking for a better deal, Robbie Keane turned his back on Spurs after all the love we gave him. Rooney left his boyhood dream Everton, Febragras left Barc first time around. Modric's like the rest so lets not be surprised I was expecting this... but in this case it not about Modric, more about the message Tottenham Hotspur Football Club will show to it supporters and the rest of football.

Are we going to bend over again or are we going the stand firm insist Modric stays and build.

Anyone saying Oh we should just sell him and get Sturridge Drogba and change are small minded IMO. This is about the foundations of THFC big words but it's true.

if there is anything the Berbatov and Keane saga's taught me is that Levy is no push over. we will get what we think he is worth to us and not the other way around. tap up or no tap up. he has a contract which he has to honour.

I'm no huge fan of Harry, but Boris Yeltsin has more to do with Luka the rat wanting to go there than anything else. While Chelsea are allowed to pay wages that bear no relation to their income, we are always vulnerable.

But we said the wrong thing about the best players. We should have been quite clear that we wanted 45 million plus for Luka and Bale, with no negotiation on the price. Luka sold for the same price as Andy Carroll is a sick joke.

 

[worcestersauce]

Selling club,always have been,always will be.

The single most incorrect post I think I've seen on this board.


I have just seen what Modric has said and it isn't exactly what the headlines say, He didn't say he wants to leave Spurs he said I want to leave Spurs as friends and Chelsea are a big club with top players challenging for titles and Champions League all of which is true and he hopes the clubs can agree a deal.
Lets be honest we all knew he would leave eventually as I've posted before he didn't come to Spurs to spend his whole carreer here, however I'd rather he didn't go to Chelsea and I'd rather he didn't go this summer, he may do both he may do neither but if he goes make no mistake we will make them pay through the nose, either way to say it's all Harry's fault is utter nonsense.
Reality is we can't compete on fees and wages with a 36,000 stadium and no sugar daddy live with it, our day will come.

Step up Sandro!!

Well we can not keep Modric once he states he wants off. It's a sad state of affairs though, it just confirms in my mind that we are indeed what others have been saying for years now, a club in the 2nd tier of the Premier league. Even being in the champions league this season has made no difference to the status of this once great club. May as well just bloody give up ffs .

If Luka goes, and it's looking increasingly likely that he will sadly get this move it will sicken me and the blame lies and one persons door, Harry.

I know posters like az have mentioned how he feels some are going over the top about this but seriously Luka is our heartbeat, our best player since huddle in my eyes (including gazza) and the whole idea of making a statement with some signings that we may be ready to challenge is bollocks if he leaves.


What sort of statement is that? This should have been done last window, who genuinely belived crouch and keane are good enough? The strikers made the difference last year and Harry dithered, and dithered, then twitched, dithered some more and finally scouted players we all know about (aguero, forlan, Rossi) and then decided Charlie Adam was the answer, only to fuck that up too.

I am disappointed with Luka but I can see the reasoning, we all claim about out project and 'in a couple of years we can win the league' but he like many others have seen we fucked it up and are way way behind now. Anyone who claims about spending doesn't get the point, we had it and pissed it away last season, city wernt beter than us and neither were Chelsea. We have only ourselves and Harry especially to blame if this leads to the exedous it may well end up as.

Just so the usual reply of 'Harry bashing'. I am not usually but this is beyond a joke, he doesn't give a fuck and will leave next year.

Haven't read any replies to this post but this is the biggest load of rubbish i have ever read on here. If you actually believe Levy was serving up possible world class signings and Harry was saying 'no thanks' then you need your head examined.

Time for decisive action - Redknapp out now

So our star player has just given us a massive shot across the bow about our lack of ambition.

For 3 years he has bossed midfield for us, yet in all that time he's not had one decent forward in front of him to turn his good work into something tangible. The guy visibly despairs everytime he looks up and sees no movement whatsoever from Defrouchenko.

While our rivals have been busy strengthening their first 11s, we've faffed around signing and tapping up midtable journeymen squad players in positions where we are already strong - Pienaar, Friedel, Neville, Adam and Parker.

Redknapp's lack of ambition, strategy and decisive action is costing us our best player in a generation, and Bale, vdV and Sandro will no doubt swiftly follow him out the door.

Today Levy needs to man-up and save us from another decade of mid-table osbscurity. Today Levy needs to fire our small time manager and bring in a big time one - Ancelotti.

Ancelotti was the guy who had the real hard-on for Modric at Chelsea anyway. He'd be a statement of intent and signal we are serious about competing with the big boys.

Ancelotti and a war chest for 3 top calibre strikers will turn Modric's head back the right way.

Act now Daniel. Save our Spurs.

If Modric goes I think Harry will follow. If he keeps his word that is ;-)

Seriously..........words fail me. Do you work for a red top rag? Or the daily mail?

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

Oh fuck off.

So you don't think his misplaced loyalty in Crouch and Defoe/not signing a decent forward for 5 windows is not the cause of Modric's outburst?

He wishes he was that well respected.
