Saying the fact he went on to bigger better things is a reason for his actions being worse than anything Modric has done (or will do if sold to Chelsea) is stupid.
Firstly at the time Arsenal were not as strong an outfit as Chelsea, Chelsea have been in a CL final won the double and multiple throphies recently so you would think from a playing point of view Modric would stand just as much chance of success moving to them as Sol did to Arsenal so how can you say its just the money for Modric while Sol did it for success? its only hindsight that allows you to know what Sol went on to he wouldn't have known that at the time any more than Luka does now so the whole point of that is null and void in my opinion (both Chelsea now and Arsenal then were in the same position second club to Man Utd basically)
The fact is Sol made promises and told lies, was supposed to bleed tottenham... came through our youth system and was the captain and heart beat of our team. Luka at the end of the day is a player from over seas who has been at the club far less time and by any logic Sol should have had more emotional ties to the club (the type of affinity Luka may have with his first club in Croatia)
Sol sat back refusing to sign a new contract all the while saying the right things to suggest he would sign and the club had nothing to worry about. We were offered big money to sell him and he knew we as a club could scaresly afford to write off the value of our prized asset yet he forced the issue and fucked the club over for personal gain.
The you have to look at the fact he was so highly in demand he could have gone pretty much anywhere....where did he go? FUCKING ARSENAL!!!! our biggest and longest, most hated traditional rival.
Do you really think had he gone to Man U he would have lacked success? or had he moved abroad? he chose Arsenal and he knew full well what that meant, what it represented it was a total "fuck you" to the club that made him and the fans that cheered him since his debut as a teenage (a game I was at with my father and grandfather)
The bottom line is if Luka is sold he will go for £40m + and we will reinvest and move on, plus we are already a much stronger outfit than were were then. Luka does not owe the club the kind of loyality Sol did and Luka is not making false promises with an eye on sneakily running his contract down to profit from the bosman ruling which would see him pocket all the money from his move.
In all my time posting on this website I have to say asking whether if Luka Modric asks to leave while under contract and ends up being sold to Chelsea that would make him a bigger Judas than Sol Campbell is by far the most foolish question/statement I have ever read on here and I am puzzled by how any Spurs fan could even contemplate the two set of circumstances even being close enough to warrant comparing.
Any Spurs fan old enough to remember the day Sol left and it was announced he had chose to sign for ARSENAL intrinsically knows the answer to this question.... and that answer is OF FUCKING COURSE IT DOES NOT MAKE HIM WORSE THAN SOL CAMPBELL!
