I’ve so far stayed out of the talk surrounding his possible exit from the club because of the arguments it was caused, in all honesty, due to bitterness of Spurs fans who can’t wait and see and feel the need to jump down the throats of supporters of any club that dare say anything we don’t want to hear!
But now there’s another quote I don’t know if it was originally Croatian and translated back but we can’t keep using that to explain away the anything we don’t like. Luka Modric IS putting himself in the shop window, there was even a hint of desperation in this latest quote… ‘I’m a Tottenham player and will be in London on July 7 to begin preparing for the season, but I want to say that transfers could occur later.
“In England it is often the case they happen on the last day of the transfer period, August 31.
‘So it is pointless to worry about anything now. If my situation changes after the start of preparation it would not be a problem.’
He sounds like a Supermarket offering some special prices… ‘Hello prospective buyers, I will be back training at Spurs when the pre season commences, but, PLEASE don’t forget you can still buy me after that point… remember I can still be bought up to the 31st of August… I don’t mind, honestly, as late as you want, I’ll be here…. waiting’.
I’m not a pessimist, I know I will get some abuse for my view but if you read what he’s said, he didn’t need to add the last bit, he could have just said ‘wait and see’… but he elaborated to remind people he could still leave. I’m worried, really worried. Normally after hearing that I would want any other player to go, get some money, rebuild. But I do genuinely believe if he stays he would still be devoted to the club while he was here, so I would like us to basically refuse to do business.
I always preferred it when players were honest, but hearing these hints from Godric is breaking my heart, all I wanted to hear was… ‘I’ll give it one more year no matter what, if we’re not there next year then I will look to move on’. Failing that, I’ve decided I would actually rather he lied so I could be angry with him and be glad to see the back of him (Berba style) instead of feeling like I’ve just found out Giggs, Terry and Ashley Cole were on a night out with my Girlfriend!
This may be a bit of a ramble, I may have read too much into it. I’ve written this feeling rather emotional so it may not be particularly concise! Tell I’m wrong and I’m worried about nothing. What do you guys think?
