But the point is that players are more likely to look upon us as a stepping stone rather than a point of destination...and, hence, not challengers. And rival teams will still look at us as a team who can be bullied out of our top players when push comes to shove.

Look i agree Luka staying is a top priorty....all i was saying is that IF we sold him and then went on to actually buy players of the calibre i mentioned, then selling luka would not be unumbitious...My point only stands up if we actually were to buy them, so saying they might not come is irrelevent to the point mate.
Selling is not always unambitious...its what you do with it or not that maybe.

Beware..."the Old Golden Savages killed their philosophers, thought bought the drought about..."Eek
Look, technically, I know what you are saying - but the fact that we sold Modric would immediately make us look less attractive to those players (even if we ever had any chance of buying them).

with modric it would be unambitious....we've building this side for quite sometime now and ripping out our heart beat wouldn't allow for progression this season IMO...
we wont get better than Modric, we need to get the striker in that we need and keep most things as they are.

I'm with Mr. Pink here, surely there comes a time when we have to say enough is enough we are not selling our best players.
We hope and aspire to be genuine title contenders, how can we do that if we keep selling our best players to our supposed rivals.
Its just a merry go round, we buy a player, they turn out to be very good, the club move forward it looks like we're nearly there and then the big boys come calling and we sell up and then justify it by saying well we can use the money to strengthen the squad, we slip back a bit and then sign a good player and the whole thing starts again. One step forward and two steps back.
Its time to say NO.

Mate your missing my point..... luka is vital and i love the guy.I don't want him to leave,.. BUT if we got...not linked GOT!! Eto, llorente, ozil etc etc would you still think selling him is unambitious...this is not a question aimed at if they would join but if they joined, however unlikely i agree it would be?

Marin cannot play CM so he is no replacement for Modric
Breezer
Position??? Magician!!!!

This!
IMO Marin would be better then Mods in our team. He's also more creative. If we received £40 million for Mods and snapped up Marin for £20 million then it's a great bit of business.

Lineker thinks he'll go....but this is a good article, and Liniker speaks the truth:

I meant that Linker speaks the truth about it being crunch time for Tottenham....I wasn't referring to his gut instinct of Modric being sold.
Sorry I didn't make that clear first time round...Linker thinks he'll be sold, but thinks this is a massive time for Spurs and our future as a Club - thats what I mean when I said he speaks the truth.

Why can't we want to have them both in the same team?
Besides, as others have said, Marin and Mods don't play the smae role (even though Modders does play on the right, sometimes) - they are not a straight swap.
i agree with the original poster i have no problem if modders was sold. he is not the be all and end all of our team. i think Berba offered more value and i was more cut up over that sale. if we sell modric for good money and buy a player cheaper who can offer the same qualities then i am all for it. we will survive without modric.
