Not at all, Modric wants out and Chelsea are trying to sign him nothing wrong with that at all.
But it still has nothing to do with football, which was your initial point.
Bingo! And there you have your answer to why Spurs and fans like CJ are ****** with you.

Girlfriends may want out of a relationship with a new guy, doesn't mean the guy just goes out and bangs her - unless he's a complete dickpole.
But don't you see, that was the whole point of the initial offer. Everyone knew that it was going to get laughed off and Levy even sent Chelsea a letter requesting them to stop and to not make it public. But what do you know, they made it public. There was only ever one intention from that bid and it was to unsettle Modric, and that in itself is disgraceful. Sick of the club.
He won't look foolish at all if he forces you to pay top dollar for him.

Yes, I do see. If you read my post I said Chelsea should've made a 35m bid from the start, I understand the whole point of why they made such a low first offer. You seem to think I don't understand the logic behind it.
Regardless if he gets sold for a hefty fee, Levy said in an interview that it's not about the money, so even still he would look foolish.
Do you think Chelsea will come back with a better offer since the 27m will be rejected anyway? And also whats your view re: essien and any possible replacement
I can see this one going to deadline day to be perfectly honest. Don't think Levy's stance will change soon but as time goes on and Modric continues moaning then I can see it happening, maybe around 35-38m.
Essien is a big loss considering what we all know he can do. But the fact that we have Ramires now and that Essien hasn't been playing at all near his best for the past year and a half, it kind of softens the blow. Still a big loss though. I don't think we will sign a direct replacement for Essien, just will mean Mikel wil get more game time at DM, and possibly Modric arriving to.
Flip it. How would you feel if the likes of Barcelona, City etc. acted the way you have for one of your top players, say Terry?
Plenty of players want to better themselves with chances to win trophies. Doesn't mean the buying clubs have to act like dicks with no respect to the selling club.
sigh, you must be pretty ridiculous to make baseless accusations
Clearly you have done no wrong here. That just shows your teams lack of respect and class. If someone specifically writes to you telling you that a player is not for sale and not to make it public, and you deliberately do then its clear as day what your intentions are.
Chelsea need to sort out their transfer policy. ******* disgraceful.

TBF, Chelsea are known for these kind of approaches. The way this whole saga has went makes me think that someone has approached Modric or his agent.
Wow. Just Wow.
So the way that you've gone about this is perfectly okay and respectable?
After receiving a letter asking for you not to make public a bid which was a ******* joke of a bid which was PURELY to unsettle the player, you still feel you've done nothing wrong?
I thought I was ******* bad. I'm done. This is completely farcical.
haha writing to every club that this player is not for sale is such a bull decision on Levy's part, he basically showed the hand he was playing to everyone so tommorow if Chivas write a letter saying Erick Torres is not for sale, whats to stop the big clubs by going after him
Good idea to write a letter, maybe if I was the Hammers manager I would write a letter to every PLM club saying Scott Parker, Rob Green and Carlton Cole are not for sale at any price... then if a club does come in, we can all say this is so unethical etc.
Brilliant ;/
oh please, if we do make an enquiry Levy will obviously say no... and we approached him in a proper way did'nt we, did nothing illegal and just made a bid for him, we are not asking him to rant or push a move through or anything, most of you forget that this is completely his own choice for doing so
And if as big club approached our top player like that and if the player starts to sulk, I say let him go, I rather not keep a player who will sulk his way through before eventually pushing a move through
jeez... some people will continue no matter what, just because we have done it a few times and paid the price does not mean we will do it again and again, stop making stupid accusations for no reason
Levy is a saint right, threatening to ban Modric to the stands, reneging on a gentlemans agreement, feeding the media all sorts of bs... everybody loves to make us out as the villain, all we did is put a bid in, Tottenham rejected it outright and we did not tell Modric to do anything, he is sulking and thats his choice
They can but they need money so they will sell. Spurs are in no financial pressure to sell. So they can say "Player is not for sale". Bad comparison though.
Modric haven't played or sulked. He wanted to move and Levy said he wont allow to move. Then what happens is we have to wait and see. Whether Modric hands TR or just concentrate on game as if nothing has happnened.
So we should believe that there was genltlemen agreement because Modric (Who wants out) said so.. Yawn..
Levy is not spouting BS. He is doing his best to keep his star player..
Meh. Chelsea talk to Modric's agent. Modric's agent talks to Modric. Modric wants to go to Chelsea. Happens in football all the time.
could be true, not denying it at all... I am pretty sure other clubs have also tapped up players but their is no point in having accusations flying around now, lets see how this Modric deals plays out
My point is that talking to a players agent is not tapping up. I think Steve Bruce I heard said on the radio that clubs don't need to tap players up anymore because you can just talk to agents. Whether the whole thing in the press was started by Chelsea or Modric agent is debatable but I imagine Modric's agent will want this move to happen just as much as Chelsea.
1. Ok so tommorow if I am Arsenal and I write to Barcelona saying Fabregas is not for sale at any price, has that stopped Barcelona or will that ?
4. And Levy is spouting bs, their was no reason for him to say after their meeting that Modric is very happy at the club cos apparently he is not and all that did was rile Luka up
I do not think modric will lie, he quite possibly could but I doubt it and then if we are to believe there is no gentleman's agreement and as I see it, it looks likely that their was one between Modric and Levy
