modric

[Skullflower]

just wondering if anyone rates him.

i know spurs fans do but is he top drawer? i know we were heavily linked, and it was suggested we didn't have the money - yet again.

 

[amber cabs]

I think he's an excellent player, very clever and excellent passer of the ball

 

[Squiggles]

Yeah, he's a tidy little player who has adapted to the Premiership well.

I don't think he's brilliant, but he's been a good enough buy and will only improve as a player.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

I think he is a very good, if not excellent player.

 

[Judge Jules]

At his best he can reach excellence IMO. He can do the clever stuff AND put his foot in if he has to. We could certainly have done with him.

 

[themn]

He'd slot very nicely into that Barca squad.

 

[RolandG]

Decent player but we have Benny Onion who is much in the same mould. One spurs player that I do rate is Tom Huddlestone. So much potential to develop into something special!

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Huddlestone is a one trick pony imo.

Huddlestone is a big fat pony imo.

Fixeded.

 

[Judge Jules]

Huddlestone does have ability, but IMO he should have realised that "potential" by now, so I'm not sure he's ever really going to.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

he's a very good player - still not sure if he's that well suited to the epl.

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Lightweight but tidy enough to get by at our level. Far too luxurious a player for Rafa though, not disciplined enough to be undropable.

 

[rebel23]

A player who bottles it and disappears, like most of the croatian players

 

[RolandG]

Tom hasn't been played enough to develop under Harry.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Yes he has, he gets plenty of game time.

:laugh: Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water.

 

[keniget]

He is a decent player and undoubtedly talented, but also pretty overpriced.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

What did Spurs pay? 14mil wasn't it? That is about right.

 

[keniget]

I thought it was 17M?

 

[Stulikesdrums]

You could be right mate, 14 was the figure in my mind. Cost a fair chunk more than that now.

 

[keniget]

Perhaps, but he wouldn't be worth it.

Diego went for 20M or so didn't he? I'd have him over Modric any day.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Deigo is a lovely footballer alright. Modric, as has been said, would probably be considered a bit too luxurious for our team.

 

[doctor_mac]

I see him as being a very similar player to Yossi, so I don't get this luxury stuff.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Modrici is a similar player right but Yossi is a bit more disciplined.

 

[Ryan]

Good player. He'd look better with better players around him though.

I think Kranjcar for the 2-3mil they paid for him was much better value for money.

 

[Glock21]

Decent player at best. Nothing special. Aquilani's better but Rafa not playing him. Could be the next Keane.

 

[Garmy]

He's a younger Yossi 🙂 seems to perform more consistently, I think.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Rafa's not playing aquilani, apart from when he is.

 

[Whitey85]

Talented player who needs to add more goals to his game.
