This time next year he will be sold to real Madrid for £60m plus Modric. :nailbiting::nailbiting::greedy:

I could handle that I like mason but I loved Modric ;)

i loved Modric too... even more after you realise how important he was now. But i really want Mason to be the one that makes the team tick. We need a new homegrown leader on the pitch, and he can do that if he continues to develop. Doesnt need to be world class, just be able to lead by example, and more importantly, inspire the youth team.

Completely agree ;) I would love to win the league with 6-7 players we brought though be the next barca. But I think it's a tall order :)

Comparing Mason to Modric...not sure if srs...
They both play same position. They can be compared. Nobody is saying he world class but no reason he can't do the same role, this can be compared.

He can't do the same role though can he? Luka Modric was and is on a different planet to Mason, and indeed most players in terms of balance, ability to keep the ball and ability to pass it. The only people that can do the same role are players of comparable ability in it.

Well I disagree. You compare a decent CM to a world class CM like you would a Toyota to a BMW. They both do the same thing but one does it better. The role they both have/had for Spurs is the same. Be the brains and move the ball forward. Just Modric does it much better.

Mate,

Just how do you expect a player (Mason) who has started so few games to compare to Modric at the end of several seasons and a full international. ffs, give the boy a fair chance. iirc, Luka didn't set the world alight for us when he got here, so how do you KNOW he can't do the same role? and maybe - just maybe - Ryan may end up better as in more goals??? Scored a bucket load in the junior sides.
