No, don't sell Modric. I shudder to think what Redknapp would do with £40m.

It was his first game in three weeks and getting overrun by City, he was probably fucked!

only United have our pacemg:and it's going to be the difference. With Rose in The wings it's quite promising. Defoe and Crouch want to stay and will pull there fingers out. CALM DOWN!
We have an unbelievably slow team if you ask me.... take Bale and Lennon out the rest our one paced. we need much more pace in the team especially centrally.
Defoe and Pavluychenko are not quick after 8 yards
Crouch
Van De Vaart
Huddlestone
Dawson
Corluka
Kranjcar
All very slow....if you ask me we have one of the slowest teams (-) Bale and Lennon.
He doesn't want to play for us and I certainly don't ever want to see the scumbag in a spurs shirt again.
Left me a little disheartened today when so many cheered his name. Same as booing. Completely ignore him I say. Booing is counter productive so should never happen but I wouldn't waste my energy applauding or cheering him.

Forget sentiment for players now there all mercenaries. At this moment fuck Modic and his desires to earn more money because that's what it is... this moment in time it's not the right time for us to sell him. Next season yes as soon as the transfer window opens flog him off....if he still wants out.
If we refuses to play withhold his money.

Because we are in a massive dispute with West Ham and they will make it as difficult as possible for us.
I would rather see him rot on the bench and ruin his career than sell him this Summer, or to Chelsea ever.
I would contribute financially for the club to suffer nothing financially from doing this.
Agree ,I always thought to myself keep Modric please don't sell him , but after today he did not look like he wants to play , take the cash and spend on someone else who wants to play for the club
So, basically, what you are saying is you wanted to keep him, until his conspiring with Chelsea to make us give in, actually works...and then we should just give in and let their tactics work?
Let me explain something to you:
If we sell now, and then report Chelsea, they can say they didn't think we were serious, and we posturing to up the price, as that is what we did with BerbaGit. If we resist until the TW closes and then lodge our complaint, they cannot make that claim.
EXACTLY!
And what Levy would do. We've made some stupid decisions in the transfer market in the last 2/3 seasons. Ok so we bought players we needed with Palacios and Defoe in the January window in 2009, but after that Eek:duh:
We struck luck with Sandro, and Kyle Walker looks a prospect, but the rest? Although it might have been necessary, it not right to see Gallas and Adebayor in a Spurs shirt. Gallas was excellent last year, but ex-Arseanal players should not play for us.
Van der Vaart was more luck than any type of planning from the management. We even changed our system of play to fit him in.
And wtf happened to Gomes? Has he been told he won't play unless he signs a new contract? His current contract is up next summer, isn't it?
Hope I'm wrong and that come September 1, we'll have a more balanced squad without players that have no desire to play for us and without players that are not considered by the management.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp revealed Luka Modric pleaded not to be selected before the 5-1 defeat to Manchester City at White Hart Lane.
Redknapp believes the Croatian is being advised to do everything he can to engineer a move to Chelsea.
Modric has been at the centre of a summer-long transfer tussle between his current employers and Chelsea, who have had two bids for the player turned down over the last two months.
on Sunday morning it was reported the Blues were ready to mount one last £40million bid for the playmaker before the transfer window closes on Wednesday night.
Modric missed Monday night's defeat to Manchester United because he was not "right in the head", according to Redknapp, but the 64-year-old gave his star playmaker the okay after he came through training fine this week.
Modric started and came through 65 minutes, but only after Redknapp convinced him he had to play.
Redknapp said: "Luka came to me at 11.30 this morning and said to me, 'I don't feel my head is right today'. I said, 'I feel you need to play today, Luka. I need you to play. You need to come and play'.
"I told him we had injuries and I said, 'I need you to come and play. We need you on the pitch, get out and play'.
"I told him he was our main man."
The Tottenham boss is convinced the former Dinamo Zagreb player must have been advised to say he was not up to playing in order to try to force through a move to Stamford Bridge.
"I'm sure he is getting advised to maybe not play today. We have seen it with other clubs," Redknapp added.
"He was okay yesterday morning to play and obviously something happened last night. Who knows what went on.
"Some of the papers today were saying that they are ready to make a £40million offer.
"While he still sees a chink of light to go to Chelsea, he is probably doing what maybe people are telling him the best way of getting out of here is."
Redknapp is still convinced that Modric will stay at the club, but concedes the whole saga, and transfer speculation over the future of his other players, has cast a dark cloud over the club's start to the season.
"There has been a feeling around the place that the place hasn't been right since the start of pre-season," Redknapp added.
"It has been a bit of a difficult period really.
"When people want to go it can be a problem but hopefully in another day or two when the window closes he will still be here and we'll all move on.
"I don't think he's going to go. The chairman said he isn't. When he comes back from international duty the window will be closed."

Too late to sell him now, with no time to get a replacement in (Scott Parker does not count). I forsee Berba scenario II if this happens.

It wouldn't be ideal to sell him but if he's going to be a poisonous influence, what good is that either?

Crazy to sell at all, and particularly now.
Although the interest in both Parker and Diarra always had me feeling suspicious, if indeed we were trying to get both of them.
Would anyone be that surprised though if he was sold....Diarra, Parker, Leandro, CB and Marin or somebody.....coming in, with more heading out obviously.

Id sell him! Despite levys stance being admirable he should have said to Chelsea 4-5 weeks ago when it became obvious that luka was going to cause us real problems we would take £40 million + sturridge (or other player) or £45 million straight cash.

Unless Redknapp is telling bare-faced lies-and I don't think he is- Modric asked not to be selected today and the whole business has created a bad atmosphere at the club. I think this is becoming a no-win situation.

Really don't care.
Chelsea to be allowed to bully us into this move - NO.
Modric to be allowed to sulk his way into this move - NO.
Let him rot on the bench for 4 years, ruining his career in the process, before selling him this Summer - I will contribute to ensure the club doesn't suffer financially from doing it.
The club must, this time, stand up to this bullying.
And why is everyone losing sight of the main issue - they have blatantly tapped him up, and publicly set out to unsettle him.
Levy can't complain if he sells, because Chelsea can just say thah they thought it was a bargaining posture, like with BerbaGit.
He can only issue compaint with any real purpose if he does it after the TW closes and we still have Modric, so that he can state emphatically that his public statements, verbal and written to Chelsea to feck off most definitely were not posturings to make them pay more.

a question to you legal eagles out there, if Luka wants out and we say no, go play with the kids and he goes on strike, fails to train, play games etc then should he not be paid. Any woker who goes on strike does not get paid so it must be same for a player.
however i say sell him for the £40 million I hear being mentioned and also allow Ancelotti to come to us.
