Another day and yet more speculation.
A German defender, 3 Spaniards, a young Dutch striker plus the rest. I’ll wait and see and have spent a little ime looking at all the footage of Modric I can find.
Skillful of that their is no doubt, my slight concern is will he be able to handle the physical side of the Premier League.
The league he has been playing in is relatively weak, which just leaves his experience in Cup competitions and games for Croatia. Not a lot of experience for just under £16 million.
Only time will tell of course and I hope we have got it right. Tottenham have missed what had become a traditional for us, a playmaking central midfielder. I grew up standing on the terraces watching Glen Hoddle (why didn’t they build the England team around him) and a guy called Micky Hazzard, a lovely and underatted player in my book.
Chris Waddle, Gazza, we have been spoilt really, will Modric be the next in the line, is he ready to take the mantle? Her is a video, you decide.
