Luka Modric

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Why we need Modric? We have two playmakers and several young players on that position.

We should play with Mikel (Romeu on sub) and Lamps (Kdb on sub).

If we will play with Romeu-Kdb enough, they will become world class. If we buy another cm, they will never even appear as sub for us...

Modric is only playing class for Croatia as he is playing in a position where he can roam about in a more attacking position, playing him in a double pivot wouldn't fully utilize his ability. This ship has sailed anyway, hes United/PSG bound, for half the price as well what a fucking idiot Levy is.

Yep, Spurs have definitely missed their chance to cash in big on Mr Modric. Will still get a decent amount but doubt it will be anywhere near the amount we would have given them for him.

Do you even think our board will do another business with spuds? i doubt it , i hope he stays @ spurs and or if he moves.. his going to manure.

Not sure about Modric..he's a good player but unproven at a BIG club. Look how long it has taken Fernando to settle playing for a big club after playin for a Mickey Mouse club.

Hats off to Stevie G in that respect he knew he'd struggle at the Bridge and stayed at the Dipperdome where he was the man, at Chelsea he'd have been another player

Do we really need modric? if were going to go for another small midfielder who can be bullied by big defenders/midfielders can we not save ourselfves a few mill and just use mc eachrean instead? Modric is also the most "defensive" minded playmaker ive seen be talked about dont think we need him tbh, KDB and romeu/mikel etc etc more then enough players!

If true, seems like we're being considered or are in the running. Might just be bullshit

[Spike 12,049]

Eh, he plays in Mata's position so he really isn't needed. The 4-2-3-1 formation doesn't really suit him either, I feel he is more a 4-3-3 type of guy.

[themightyblue 443]

He played all of last season in the pivot next to Parker. Only plays in the hole for Croatia

[Spike 12,049]

Yeah, but he isn't the greatest defender and a team with Modric, Mata, Hazard, Torres and Marin the midfield can and will get run over with a few nice passes or a concise counter attack.

no he doesn't.

[Spike 12,049]

no he doesn't.

That is his prefered and natural position. Throughout his playing career at Dinamo Zagreb and for the Croatian National Team he played in the hole and on the left wing if necessary. He has only ever played the deep role at Tottenham.
