Spurs Seal Modric Deal

Luka Modric

Tottenham have signalled their intentions for next season by agreeing a £15.8million deal for Luka Modric from Dinamo Zagreb.

The 22-year-old is understood to have agreed a five-year contract and is set to undergo a medical imminently, and the deal will be completed when the player obtains a work permit...

Spurs head coach Juande Ramos may deploy Modric as a central playmaker but he could also use him to solve the problem the club have had on the left flank in recent seasons.

 --- 

+10!  And probably not the last such player to come to White Hart Lane before next season.  

Six or sever more big transfers and we'll have enough money to afford CRon!

    I've been waiting to see who was gonna snap up this guy, he's pretty special, i always thought he reeked of Arsenal, but Wenger was probably put off by his price tag. In saying that he's worth every penny, i've never seen a player his age carve open defences so consistantly.

    (1) How about Cristiano Ronaldo? He just turned 23 and has been carving up defenses consistently for some time now.

    (3) You are completely correct, credit where credit is due, but Ronaldo is superhuman and an exception among most young midfield players.

    Ronaldinho has carved up a few defences, as well.

    different carve guys...this guy can pick a pass, he's very much in the cesc fabregas mould in controlling the tempo of the game and being the centre of everything that happens on the team as opposed to tricksying his way past mere mortals a la CRon and ermmm Ron. i can see him and jenas linking up very nicely.

    Jenas is out, he's has been good for us but he's an above-average mid-table player and nothing more, he wont be in the first XI come the start of next season and i'd be amazed if he were still at the club - COYS!
