Chelsea have made no official approach for Tottenham and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric but have informally inquired about the player, it has been reported. The Modric saga bored everyone to death last summer, but will the Blues have another crack at signing the player?
Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy does not want to sell to a Premier League club and would have preferred to move him on to Real Madrid, who looked to be favourites as they were willing to offer cash and Nuri Sahin in a part-exchange deal, but Sahin wants to stay at the Bernabeu and Real’s interest seems to have cooled.
In the end, Levy will just have to accept the best offer on the table as the club did not meet the ambitions of Modric and it’s unlikely that they will be able to keep hold of him for another summer as they fought of the interest of Chelsea last time around. Their position will weaken even further if he hands in an official transfer request.
That hasn’t stopped sticking a £50m asking price on the 26-year-old. They’ve rejected a number of bids from us in the past and the Telegraph believes that Roman Abramovich promised Modric that the Blues will make another attempt to sign him this summer, will they sell this time around or will he end up at Real Madrid or Manchester United?
Modric has always been a fantastic passer of the ball and has shown he can control the midfield for both club and country. He was brilliant for Croatia during the group stages and they can count themselves seriously unlucky to go out of the competition as they should have had a penalty against Spain in the final group game.
Tottenham’s failure to capitalise on a great start to last season will Modric leave the club, a season in which they ought to have finished third but somehow managed to fall behind serial choke artists Arsenal. Gareth ‘monkey face’ Bale recently signed a new deal to stay at White Hart Lane, but I don’t think the Europa League and a lifetime’s supply of Fyffes bananas will be enough to convince the Croat to stay for another season.
Banding words with any THFC fan is degrading to CFC fans,we so above u peeps,choke on that!
Chelsea are a mid size club with a wealthy chairman, when Abramovich gets bored and takes his money away you will slip back to mid table mediocrity. We (Spurs) have under achieved since the 60’s and will probably continue to do so. What we are all missing in this debate is Man C, they are a big club that now has heaps of money. I fear we will all fall way behind the Mancunians for a very long time to come.
talking about packing the bus,in 2009 when man u did’nt pack the bus against uefalona they were thoroughly spanked,same thing happened to them in 2011,if you think am lying ask arsenal.i wish spurs all the best in the europa,they should only pray not to meet athletico bilbao
Modric must force his way b4 levy tanish his image
@Northspur and other Totenham spurs,why are you still languishing in pains,think of the next season and stop critisizing ur BOSS. You call CL CUPa fluke,32 clubs started and chelsea winnning the cup was a fluke,why do we fans like hiding the facts. Even platini must not call it a fluke,Barca congratuled chelsea the folowing day. Ok o,Totenham should qualify 1st with fluke before winning the CL with fluke. Dont argue blindly mr Nortspur. Barca,madrid,Ac milan,Bayern munich,manchestr united,liverpool fans are the set of people that can say anything on chelsea,NOT 1920 something record breakers like totenham,we are not on the same level,
we chelsea give respect to our bosses on pitch.
You are right we are not on the same level on history terms as spurs are clearly a bigger club.
You like most chelsea fans have only become fans since RA took over and think your history started from then.
If you want to talk FACTS yes you won the CL and we finished above you in the league and we have won more than you again a FACT
of course listen to northspurdck…spurs are bigger we won champions league and premierships and spurs won …western and southern league in 1900 1904 …and shared and won charity shields…but they won more than us fact (even tho they havent) unless you count just clown trophys…which….i dont!! the guys counting non league cups lol just a clown…when was last time spurs won the league…61? 1 of only 2 league titles…fa cup….1990…i mean fcuk they won fa cup in 1901 and 1921…not a fan alive today who saw that ….unless like 100 years old loooooool and when football was a joke…no world cup…no european cup or euro player of the year…spurs fans are ridiculous (no wonder arsenal hate tham)
matthew history is history you can not change it no matter how much you wish you could
why would i want to change history and i dont wish i could change it ..i love it haha 😀 with fans like you boosting about western and southern league titles lol cracks me up! wouldnt change it for the world…like i said …..17 cups and leagues (even league cup could be taken up and all thos lower euro cups) which means 2 league championships to our 4 (3 of which are premiership)…8 fa cups to our 7 fa cups.. and 0 champions league to our 1..FACT
Northspur I see u have replied almost on every comment made by everyone, and all u keep saying is…,”history, history, history, spurs bigger club, facts, facts, facts, blah blah blah”, you keep repeating yourself. Have you got nothing better to say??!! I’m 100% sure, millions more people around the world would surely know more about Chelsea than Spurs, and its all down to what’s achieved in modern time..it doesn’t matter what a club has won 100 years ago! Now I’m not saying Chelsea has the richest history, but, FACT, a few more western and southern league “titles”, doesn’t make u a “bigger” club! Get it in your head!
Sorry if the truth hurts but its there for everyone
its pointless ,the guy just wants the last word likes hes right and keeps talking crap like fact fact history bs…..when hes counting non league southern league , non league western league,(not even pro football) its ridiculous and chartity shields (even chartity shields they shared) what a joker…, and little boy nothing cups like that crappy italy england cup the big teams wouldnt enter….when im talking about champions leagues , premierships , fa cups….this is why arsenal fans and all london fans call tham yids..thier ridiculous
matthew as i have said you only want to talk about parts of history you like and which suits you.
Its there in black and white the clubs honours or would you suggest clubs only list what they want
As for “this is why arsenal fans and all london fans call tham yids” REALLY ? this just shows you have no clue wharsoever
id suggest only talking about cups and league titles worth talking about…..not southern league and western league and crap like that, even league cup is abit rubbish….if chelsea only won charity shield next season id be p1ssed off put it that way…
Yes you would because it suits chelsea fans i was talking about a clubs history which is its entire history not just.
We could look at history before RA took over but i guess you would moan about that as well.
As i first pointed chelsea are a club who have won things over the last 8 years which does not make them a bigger club.
You could also look at the fan base spurs are sold out each and every week and have a season ticket waiting list of over 25000, whereas you could still get a ticket to most chelsea games
@Nortspur.Point of correction,i became a chelsea fan in 1995 when chelsea was unpopular,RA had never thought of buying chelsea fc then,2ndly,its a fact you finish above chelsea but its also a fact that there is nothing to show for it,not even a champions league spot. Its a fact also that you have long time record,but thank God for the fact that you were not born for the most of the trophies won then,why cant we base our complex on those years we can talk about. I am below 50 year and above 40 years. It will be foolish of me to talk about a record of 48 years ago. Winning the champions league during my life time is a great achiement. I now belong to euro elite club which i am very sure will take your spurs years to come to achieve. Hope these are FACTS too.
Do you have any other facts too aside your unfounded been above us in league. Write something reasonable,i still maintain it, we are not on same level. When last did you win a trophy last? Is not about 5 or 6 years ago? I bow for Man u, liverpool barca, real madrid,bayern munich,. You totenham should bow for chelsea too. This one no be fight, brother. Your time is coming too.
Oh i see you wish to pick out bits of your history and talk about them why didn,t you say that at the start.
You are right we have nothing to show for being a better team than chelsea over the course of the season other that the fact we were the better team the league does not lie.
Bow to chelsea ? really you think you are that big ?.
Fact is your time has been and gone, gone are the days you were able to buy a player just to stop another team having them Man.C have that right now and said get over and move on back to being a smaller club
AGAIN “your time has been and gone” …were champions league winners and fa cup…were a bigger club than you fact!!
“FACT” yet you have nothing to back the fact up.
As i have said many times you have won more lately ( still not more than spurs ) however winning things is only one part of being a bigger club.
i showed you how were a bigger club…you even printed the historys for me…and when you look at what we won …and what you won…its there for the whole world to see …chelsea has won bigger and better trophys…ie champions league and premier leagues..and chelsea is a huge brand name across the world , but true about selling out..we def need a new bigger ground! and you forget in the 1990s zola and co won alot of cups…like 2 fa cups league cup, cup winners cup, and that crappy super cup …and 1 more fact for you…that crap italy england cup , top 10 or something couldnt enter…it was rubbish and that zenth data cup …(what we won) was 2nd rate trophy…same as charity shield…and dont even get me started on thos ..non league trophys …i dont get how you cant (or wont) see what im saying…the top league title …champons league…fa cup (always a nice day when win that) and maybe maybe league cup…and other euro trophys are only cups and titles to worry about..and look at chelseas history in champions league…..not bad at all…unlucky in final asgainst man utd…..cheated against barcelona in semi at the bridge (all thos pens with that cheating ref) the ghost goal at liverpool….pens v liverpool (again semi) id say were be 2nd if not 3rd seed this year…cant think of any1 being higher…4th at worse..
Have always liked Spurs and they used to be my second team after Chelsea, but their supporters and Daniel Levy have turned me against them!
Have read all the posts and replies..have never ever heard such negative, spiteful, jealous, disrespectful fans as the Tosserham Spuds supporters! Damn u all sound so stupid.(Though I’m sure not all but surely the ones who argue like retarded losers making no sense at all)
Jeeezz, have also never seen any team clinging on to a player more than Levy. So what if Modric still has 4 years left on his contract, nowadays players move all the time, no matter how long they have on their contracts.
I mean last summer we put £45mil down for him, way more than his worth. Spurs know that if Modric leaves they’ll be doomed! One day Levy will be remembered as the person who stopped Modric’s career.
And people come on what’s with the history battle..who cares what happened 50-100 years ago! We’re in modern time for heaven sakes!
Although I’m Chelsea supporter, I do have to agree the comment on Bale was uncalled for!
And regarding the champions league places, the way Chelsea pushed out Spurs is a rule made by UEFA, has nothing to do with Chelsea, could have happened to anyone, get over it!
Oh, and Spurs how the hell can u sack Harry Redknapp, the best coach/manager u ever had!
for me ..mordic is a 15m to 22m player…5 goals and 6 assits last season and 3 goals and 4 assits season b4..
bale is out of this world! with pace to burn! and had a aweson season, even tho signing a new 4 year contract with spurs shows no Ambition at all! tottenham will not win premiership in next 4 years!! or champions league!! and saying he will get spurs back to where they belong.. (champions league) is a joke…they was in champions league for 1 season lol.
Your an embarrassment to us boy. We brought our sucess, we wouldnt have won anything if not for Abramovich.
Spurs have a waiting list for season tickets of 40,000+, we dont even sellout!
“Have read all the posts and replies..have never ever heard such negative, spiteful, jealous, disrespectful fans” then goes on to say
“Tosserham Spuds supporters! Damn u all sound so stupid.(Though I’m sure not all but surely the ones who argue like retarded losers making no sense at all”
Kettle-pot comes to mind
so spurs guvnor is saying your a chels fan…no chels fan would call them self …spurs govnor and every thing ive said is facts …apart from saying tottneham wont win league or champions league in next 4 years…which is my own view…and all these jeaous fans go on about buying suucess..when during romans era for a 5 year span spurs had spend more than us…and in history all the teams that won…spend money…look at city now…blackburn…utd ….real mardird lists gos on and on…buying sucess is stupid…you cant buy trophys YOU WIN TROPHYS…end of
Haha you Spurs fans are awfully touchy. Obviously struck some sort of nerve, which I see as an admission that even you believe you’re shite.
Really ? its seems me proving spurs are a bigger club has rattled your cages somewhat
Not really. You’re the one that’s made countless posts on here, nobody else gives a toss.
Oh looks like i have hit a nerve right there lol and you are right nobody gives a toss about this badly written crap piece
Haha not at all. Whinge all you like, it’s amusing.
