Hurry Up And Go, Luka
By: Robert Reed | July 11th, 2012
Have you ever had that feeling? That feeling you get when you see that particular ex? The person you loved so much; the person who could brighten your day just by turning up on your doorstep; the person who, now, when you see their stupid fat face you just want to punch? That’s kind of how I feel about Luka Modic right now.
OK he never turned up on my doorstep but there was a time when just seeing a photo of him in his Spurs shirt would brighten my mood. It would get me contemplating how far we had come as a club in that we have such a player who would get into almost any side in the world. A symbol of the stature of Tottenham Hotspur.
Now I just sneer when I see his ugly, miserable looking face. Suddenly he is a symbol of the past and all that was wrong with it. A time when the likes of Berbatov and Campbell *spit* would be looking to jump ship as they didn’t consider Spurs to be good enough for them. A time when any decent player we had would have their head turned whenever the likes of Manchester United snapped their fingers.
It annoys me that he does not have some club which he so wants to play for, but that he just wants to play for another club. Almost any decent club. I find that insulting.
Well, I for one can’t wait to see the back of him and to make the most of the stack of cash we will receive as a result.
Last year I went to watch Spurs train at the Lodge, and four things stood out for me. Firstly, Redknapp did absolutely sod all and stood around chatting to some mate of his for the whole session. Secondly, nobody jokes around with Scott Parker like they do with each other; there seems to be a kind of respect there and Scotty is a very serious young man. Thirdly, the life and soul and most popular guy on the training field was Emmanuel Adebayor; and finally, I noticed that Luka Modric is a whinging prick. He was the only one who had a sense of humour failure and would get arsey about being knocked down or tackled too hard and would generally be ridiculed by his teammates for his attitude.
I wasn’t so scathing about Harry or Modric when I wrote my accompanying article as I wanted to be invited back (I wasn’t).
When the going gets tough, I cannot see Luka being the type to roll his sleeves up and I can imagine that having been one of our problems up until now. That, coupled with his poor scoring record for a player of his stature makes me think that losing his services will not be the blow a lot of us have feared it would be.
Joao Moutinho, while similarly a bit wanting in the goal scoring department, would be better for us I think. He is a terrific player if EURO 2012 is anything to go by and he was captain of his club at 20. That’s the kind of strong willed player we need in the middle of the park. Jan Vertonghen is only in his early twenties but he captained Ajax. Strong willed players like these are winners, and we need more of them.
Plus Moutinho plays with a smile on his face. I don’t think Modric would smile if he found a diamond encrusted alice band.
I know he’s played well for us in the past. I appreciate that, and wish him luck in the future if he plays abroad, but I’m still looking forward to the day he is gone.
COYS!

Here here. I hate the little monster.

Here, here. Spot on mate. His head wasn’t right to play man city or man u at the beginning of last season? We missed out on CL by 1 point or so..? Do one ratboy!
-
Good point Hezza, and yet he will site us having no Champions League football as a reason he wants to leave.
-
You can say what you want about Luka’s attitude in training, but WHENEVER I saw him play in a spurs shirt he was the epitome of commitment. Whether this was down to him playing for himself or the shirt is another question. I agree he hasn’t handle the situation well, especially with his declaration of love for chelsea last season.
I also agree that the sooner we get rid, the better!!!
-
Never thought I would agree with such a sentiment…
…but, if we can get Moutinho in, we will make some money on the deal, and, possibly, even be more balanced as a team.
I always stood up for Mr Redknapp when people said he had no overseas profile worth talking about. At the same time, I would have thought it impossible to replace Modric with a player of the quality and age of Moutinho. Now it looks like we might – and the deciding factor could well be AVB.See ya Luka – wouldn’t it be the irony of ironies if we qualified for the CL this year and won it the next, and Modric never won it. Not saying it will happen beore anyone accuses me of being a delusional Spurs fan, just that it would be funny.
-
Totally agree and good riddance to the lil prick. Getting what Levy will get for him (40m min) we can get Moutinho and Oscar and Damiao using money we already have aswell. Apparently Ratface is hiding in Croatia ordering his agent to whore him around.

Hahahahaha! Right so I remember the very last game of the 10/11 season up at Anfield, I went to watch it. Luka was the star of the team, held on to the ball and pulled the strings in midfield. I remember walking out of the stadium and thinking we MUST hold on to Modric. This year I couldnt give a flying feck, I think we have moved on and there and other players who can be acquired and do an equal (if not better) job thaan Luka (Oscar / Moutinho are obvious examples). I also remember seeing pics / videos over the last couple of years of Luka smiling in training and some pics of him playfully throwing snowballs at his colleagues. All that seems to have disappeared and as Robert Reed implies, he seems to have turned into an arrogant, miserable little critter.
Thank you Luka but you’re not bigger than the club so time for you to move on. If you do somehow end up staying pls make sure it’s for the right reasons and for god’s sake learn how to smile again!
-
I get the feeling a lot of Spurs fans feel that way. When it was mooted that he could leave last summer I was terrified that it might happen; everything seemed to depend on his staying. This summer when his leaving is mentioned I’m like, meh, so what.
Anyway, if the Telegraph is to be believed Real have offered £40million cash in which case it’s adios!
-
The only reason why us Spurs fans are so aggitated about this entire Modric saga is because the little goblin wanted to leave us for Cheatski last Summer and most of us have never forgotten or forgiven his actions. The affection we felt for him prior to that moment ebbed away. It has now gone entirely as far as I’m concerned and the sooner he f**ks off the better. We got over the loss of Hoddle, Gascoigne, Ozzie and Ricky in the not too distant past, most of us would agree that these guys were superior players and more influential than Modric. We will get over Modric should he leave and move on. Spurs are on the up, we all sense it and lets not forget, Spurs are far bigger that any player.
-
Well said, article is fair and sums up present day attitude of spurs fans. Thank you Luka for past efforts, but goodby and thank you for the transfer cash which will be put to very good use after you,ve gone. No player no matter how good is bigger than the club. So sail off into the sunset over in Spain (not manu/chelski that would be like kicking your former teamates in the nuts!!)and fulfill your REAL ambitions, while us spurs fans also fulfill our REAL ambitions and watch you disappear bye
-
Take it easy!! You’re being way too harsh! Luka, the consumate professional would’ve been gone a long time ago if it wasn’t for the greedy Levy, so it’s the height of rudeness to just say hurry up and get out to a player that’s given so much to the club and has played every minute with passion!!! Spurs supporters like you guys are an embarrassment to the rest of us!!
-
Steady Chopper.(mind I only speak for myself) But it was,nt spurs fans that wanted to leave the club, it was Luka, very strongly voiced as well. Levy done his job, get best price for him in that case, hence present situation. We all know what Luka has done for the club, and thats what hurts us the most, he still wants to leave the club we love. So go! the clubs always bigger than a player. To call us, the disappointed fans, harsh and rude is a bit much fella! Thats why we want him overseas, we know how good he can be we do,nt need him returning to WHL with anothe premier club to haunt us. We/I should certainly not be considered an embarrassment, we love Spurs as much as any Tottenham fan. We are just ardent fans voicing our opinions over a player who so wants to leave our club and thinks the grass is greener elsewhere (anywhere by all reports) Hope you understand a little better now.

Guys, even Manchester United had to let Cristiano Ronaldo go to Real Madrid. No player is bigger than the club. If he wants to go, he could go if the price is right. No point of hating the player for being a professional player. The goal of these people is to get as much money possible (and trophies too) before the end of their career. Spurs lost Berbatov and Carrick and moved onto greater things. Spurs WILL move on after Modric leaves and I hope Spurs will move to an even greater high that would make Modric regret leaving in the 1st place. Take a chill pill.

Luka Modric has been absolutely fantastic for Spurs. His footballing mind and playing style is what saved us so many times. I feel no hatred towards the boy, he deserves to play in a club which will give him the chance to shine on the big stage, year in year out. I wish him all the best, but I also wish he would have given the new management a chance.
Like you mentioned, the sooner we get rid of him, the better. Only I’m not sure it’s what I’ll really want to hear when it happens.
COYS!

Too harsh. He’s given us four years of a career of what, 16 if you’re lucky. He’s going to Real Madrid, which like it or not, is a step up from just about anywhere. ManU lost Ronaldo to them too.
