What can I say, this whole “Luka Modric to Chelsea” saga has really left a bad taste in every Spurs fans mouth I would imagine. If you are anything like me, you would have grown to love & respect our little Croatian magician who can more than match any midfielder in the world on his day. To find out that he has actually said in interviews that he want to go to a ‘Bigger’ club, especially those ‘Johnny-come-lately’ pretenders, ‘Chelski’, is like a knife in the guts….
How could he possibly think that Tottenham does offer him one of the best possible stages to showcase his skills, we are a team on the up, only just falling short of getting back into the Champions League but still finishing a creditable 5th in the League. We are not a rich billionaires plaything like ‘Chelski’ or a Man City, of a ‘Global Brand’ team like ‘The Scum’ or Man United, but we punch well above our weight, and with Modric’s help, we will be eating the top 4’s lunch over the next few years.
Okay, I know…. I am being a bit naïve, players today do not play for the love of the ‘Club’, they are only loyal to following the highest possible wage packet…. It’s a sad reflection on both the ’beautiful game’ that I love and life in general. But to find out that one of our most beloved current Spurs players has little or no loyalty to the club is just another example of the erosion of one of the things I hold sacred. I am obviously from another age, what can I say…?
Trying to pick the bones out of this situation, I am hoping that this story has been subject to more than its fair share of ‘Media Hype’, and that Modric’s comments have been taken out-of-context, or God forbid, ‘made-up’ by the press. Was a transfer request handed in, or was it all just some hacks over active imagination, who knows, but I for one hope that Modric falls back in love with the Club and dedicates himself to being part of the solution to playing Champions League football, not part of the problem of not playing it….
I see more bad news coming if we don’t sign a least one ‘quality’ striker before the season starts, or at least by the time the transfer window closes. Are we holding out to surprise everyone with another Van Der Vaart style signing, or are we gonna be left empty handed after trying to buy every potentially available player like we were in the January transfer window…? We have been linked with possibly of gaining the services of the likes of Vucinic, Mata, Rossi, Llorente, etc, etc, all of which have come to nothing, and now even Adebayor & Barton’s names are being touted, God what next…?
Why didn’t we make more of a play for Sergio Agüero instead of letting him go to Man City…? Have we tried to tempt Diego Forlan or Wesley Sneijder into the Premiership, both seasoned and proven goal scorers currently in teams past their best. What about Nilmar of Brazil, who looks lively and super talented…?
I guess we are gonna have to wait & see if Mr Levy can pull another miracle out of his behind again this season….
Time will tell…
