Statement by Club Chairman, Daniel Levy

[Winchy85]

"I wish to make it absolutely clear, as I have said previously, that none of our key players will be sold this summer. We are building a team for the future to consistently play at the highest level and retaining quality players is crucial to that.

"In respect of Luka Modric, we are not prepared to sell, at any price, to Chelsea Football Club or any other club.


"We made our stance on this issue abundantly clear in writing to Chelsea. They chose to ignore it and then subsequently made the offer public.


"For the avoidance of any doubt, let me reiterate that we shall not enter into any negotiations whatsoever, with any Club, regarding Luka.


"We now consider this matter closed."

Nice one Daniel, now just 2.5 months of keeping your word to go !!

 

[thekneaf]

Boom!

 

[ajspurs]

Massive statement.

Levy :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

[markiespurs]

Time for Chelsea to shut the fuck up

 

[bilburger]

he loves a bit of 'official statement-ing,' don't he?

 

[NickHSpurs]

Now everyone calm the fuck down and move on

 

[alfiespurs]

Now F .... OFF Chelsea,Man Shitty, Manure and which ever MF club..... I love you Levy !

 

[coleraineyid]

Way to show your teeth Daniel!! Fuck off Chelscum in other words lol

 

[Azrael]

Well, this doesn't mean he won't still be sold.

He said the same about Berbatov and six months later he was gone.

Still, I'd rather we made these statements than said nothing.

 

[minimike]

As much as I rate Levy for this statement, I don't want to keep a player who won't give 100% because he wants to be in Chelsea. I'm sorry, once a player does this the bond is broken, £40 mil or nothing

 

[EastLondonYid]

What now for luka? he said he wanted out...i suppose we will get the 'it was lost in translation bollox' silly boy.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Love it. Luka can't do shit either I don't think he will refuse to Play for the next 5 years

 

[markiespurs]

Anyone else think that Levy might try to take action against Chelsea over all this, or is at least concidering it?

Thats all well and good but "IF" modric really did want to leave, what good does it do the club making him stay??. You only want players who want to give their all for the club, i can't see what good it would do us, keeping someone who doesn't want to play for Tottenham.

 

[Fancypants]

I wasn't worried one bit :silenced:

 

[defoe18]

Wonder if this statement will be true come September 1st?
