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

Well you see that's Levys master plan. Modric has a great Euro champs and his value increases to about £30 million and then sell him before the season begins to Man Utd. :shifty:

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 ;)

was Gunter not announced before the window was opend? i know its not a big signing though

I can remember a few players being announced before the window, Teemu Tainio being one, but he was on a free.

That is GOOD business....to ATTRACT the season ticket holders months before the beginning of a new season! BUT....Maybe not? COYS!

I think it is right to say that if the club has identified any targets they want for sure who are competing in the Euros it is best to get the deal wrapped up in principal before it starts rarther then risk them shine and be putting on a level of clubs wanting them we cant compete with (or just make the price sky rocket)

As all deals are subject to a medical if they get a major injury we can flop the deal (although Im sure the medical would be completed before the Euros commenses making my last point totally irrelevant)

YOur right!!! a very strange message indeed!!

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)

Nice try, but it's just the standard hidden message this time, rather than any transfer target :

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

Yeah it's just a stock market thing as people have pointed out... any signing over £8m (or something, not sure) has to be fully declared to the market!

maybe the guy who put this message out was a member of Arsenal's youth academy 10 odd years ago?

Tainio signed a pre-contract and it was announced way before the end of the season.

It is a certain percentage of something, anal income or something like that, anything over that has to be declaired, so the mroe cash a club has, the higher the price has to be befor they have to declair it
