I'm all for giving Mason and our other youngsters our support AND patience.
But to compare him to Modric in making that point? Simply RIDICULOUS

Erm, just had a quick peek at the thread.
It appears some people are comparing Mason to Modric? Surely that can't be right?
Is this real life, or have I woken up in some strange parallel universe?
Which context could encompass both Modric and Mason? Spurs players whose names begin with M?Not quite, just the usual taking things out of context to have a rant, followed by a long and fairly pointless discussion.

I'll have a closer look through...

Only because we've got the hindsight of seeing the player Modric became. 12 months into his Spurs career the jury was still very much out.
I think they are very similar players. Both tough despite their size, always looking to move the ball on as quickly as possible and usually forward.
Modric had a bit more finesse in his passing and better defensive positioning, but Mason has a better engine and I think is more effective in the final third (gets into better positions and shooting).

12 months into his Spurs career he was clearly a very very good player, to compare them is madness Mason is not even close to what Modric was after 12 months. To say hes more effective in the final third is very wrong, unless you are going by his one decent strike against Forest, maybe better to look at the chances he has missed in crucial games like United at home & City at home. Unfortunately hes not the answer and his level has dropped considerably. If you swapped him for Parker in his first season with us I would say we would be 10 points better off and certainly wouldnt be leaking goals the way we are.

I was on here early laughing when people were saying Luka wasn't strong enough, reminding people about Ardiles and knowing that once Redknapp realized what he had, the guy would be superb for us. So personally-speaking, the jury wasn't out for me mate. Mason? I think he is a very good player, but I don't think he will ever have the influence on our team that Modric did mate.
Also this mornings stories have certain papers saying that Scneiderlin to Arsenal has been a done deal for a couple of months and that UTD only rate Lloris at £20 million
