Is Luka worse than Sol?

Simple question really?

As I see it. When Sol left us for Arsenal he became public enemy number one for the vast majority of Spurs fans, but in reality he left us and moved on to better things. This doesn't excuse what he did, but you can't argue that from his point of view it was a good move. Arsenal were winning titles and were years ahead of us on and off the pitch. He left to win medals and to compete at the highest level, he won medals and played in the Champions League final.

Take into consideration the trio of Teddy, Carrick and Berbatov that went to Utd, they all wanted to win top honours and play at the highest level. Teddy won the treble, Carrick won a Champions League, Berbatov won the league.

Robbie went to Liverpool, regardless of what some might believe, he is a Liverpool fan. He went to play for the team he had supported all his life, it didn't work out, he came back and gave 100% for Spurs again, which I doubt that anyone could really question.

Stephen Carr went to win things and..................didn't look as fat in the striped jersey!

However, Luka wants leave us, knowing full well that in doing so he is going to undo a lot of team building that has gone on with him as the central focus. Not only is he weakening us, he wants to go to Chelsea and improve one of our closest rivals.
Chelsea, a team with no manager, a team which is going to need wholesale changes in the next 18-24 months, a team that is owned by a man who has no real understanding of football and in particular real football fans.
Not that the question really needs asking but why does he really want to go to Chelsea? For a big bag of filthy russian money! Maybe I'm extremely naive but I honestly thought that Luka was one of the good guys, not a football mercenary. To be honest I'd have more respect for him if he went to Arsenal, I'd even go as far to say that I would understand if he wanted to go to Utd, but Chelsea. If he goes through with this and gets his wish he really is as big a wanker as Cashly and the rest of those chav mercenaries!

Sol left for free and didn't he say he'd never leave for Arsenal. He was our captain aswell. Modric hasn't said he'd never move, signed a new contract last year ensuring we'd get loads of money for him. He's also said "If the offer is good for spurs and for me" so he's considering us too.

If Modric goes to any of the top four clubs, and if he stays in the Premiership with any other club than Spurs, he will, his transfer will widen the chasm that will inevitably become more apparent the occasions he pulls on that club's jersey against us.

if he promises to sign a new contract for 2 and half years, says on record he would never join them, then lets his contract run down and signs for them on a free, he still wouldn't be as bad as that lying, two faced son of a bitch bastard scumbag MF, tosspot lying liar!

Luka grew up in Croatia. RSol was supposedly a spurs fan. In future please dont mention their names in the same sentence.

I know he said he wouldn't, but you can't argue that he went onto better things! Given the relatively small gap between us and Chelsea, in spite of all their money, what does Luka really achieve, the champions league thing is not nailed on at any club. It all comes down to money.

Idk about worse than, but it's bad and pissed a lot of us off for good reason. First of all, he said about a week ago that he had no intention of leaving and wanted to stay, but would only leave if we accepted an offer from another club that he wanted to go to. Obviously we didn't want to sell, so now his story has changed.

Second, the crap about 'leaving tottenham as friends or whatever, he signed a six year contract last year, shouldn't have done that if he didn't want to stay. And then saying it's not about the money, it's about the ambition, when it is clearly about the money imo, how about play for the club you have a contract for and try to win trophies here.

Whatever, if he was on 200,000 a week and had 2 years left on his contract we might have a good reason to sell, but with 5 more years and only on 40,000 a week (apparently )on his current contract he really has no leg on which to stand.

We should just get back to looking for new strikers. We are clearly not selling any of the players we want to keep this summer, and I suspect any others who might be thinking of leaving will hesistate about telling the media after Levy's statement.

Luka isn't close to Sol.

I never begrudged Sol the chance to go and win things at Arsenal. It's understandable. If he was honest about leaving, put in a transfer request and was sold to Arsenal for £20m+ (he was one of the best CBs in the country and Rio went for £30m shortly after) then I wouldn't have had a problem. Instead he deliberately mislead us about signing a new contract knowing that letting it run down would give him a large signing on for free and we'd recoup nothing for the many years of training we put into him.

Luka signed a long contract and has always been (brutally) honest.

I'm disappointed in Modric as I thought he was better than that, but I don't begrudge him. As disappointed in him as I am i'm also disappointed with Harry as I think he's not handled it that well either.
