PLAYER TRANSFER - LUKA MODRIC

Tottenham Hotspur plc is pleased to announce that agreement has been reached with Dinamo Zagreb and the Croatian international midfielder, Luka Modric, age 22 years, for the transfer of his registration to Tottenham Hotspur FC for a total consideration of Euro21 million payable in instalments over the next four years.
The player's contract is for a period of up to six years and the agreement is conditional upon the granting of a work permit.


Is it just me or is this not the clubs typical announcement? We never announce how much we have paid and the whole thing reads like it has just been translated through BabelFish! :shrug:

We announce when we have to, all to do with the Stock Market. :up:

Yeah, the "Tottenham Hotspur plc" bit gives that away.

Seems the club has gone all Bible code and wants to show intent in a less the obvious fashion (you just have to know where to look)

Like someone posted the other day.

I don't remember any new players being announced before the transfer window actually opens - I have tried thinking, but I cannot (so if anyone else can name when we have, be my guest).

Berbatov is a key player, easily our most influentual player.

Its pretty much a done thing that he has gone, so the management team need to show him that they are intent on delivering next year. So snapping up Modric, who was linked to bigger clubs than us (bigger in the sense of the level they play at - CL!!) we are showing Berba that actually it might be worth hanging around for a little while longer

I'm pretty sure we unveiled Bale just after last season had ended, before the window opened...

Berba was announced long before he actually joined......

Hmmm, call me a sceptic but we announce a class signing just a matter of weeks before the Season Ticket renewals hit our doorsteps!!!!

I'll call you a cynic if I may.

Think you're being unfair though :wink:

To be honest, I think this is more a nice by-product. They were more concerned with doing business early before he went elsewhere. And before it becomes bidding war, knowing that there are now several other clubs with spending clout. The top clubs often try to to their transfer business early.
It's nearly always the rest of us haggling at 11.59 on deadline day.

Mind with Euro champs coming up, you wouldnt want a player like this to shine and suddenly be worth 30 mill!!!
