Steff - simple question.
Who is responsible for Modrics actions? Who is the one who actually puts one foot in front of the other?
In my opinion?
The player was destabilized Xmas 2010 by an approach from Chelsea via his agent/long-time "influential" figure.
This destabilization continued, in earnest, to last summer, but which time the player was absolutely convinced he would be moving to Chelsea/a massive pile of dough/his agents were delighted because they stood to make a huge amount of money.
The player is, IMHO, consistently advised by his agents how to behave in these summers; I do not think it is in the nature of the player himself to "go on strike"...if it was, he wouldn't have played/been able to perform, last year. He is, IMHO, foolishly acting on advice.
I think today's quotes from Mamic with regards to regular contact from Madrid, and Madrid's intent to now try and lowball us having virtually agreed a deal, point very strongly to the fact that his reps/agents are telling him to "boycott", that "don't worry, it won't be like last summer...'
My personal feeling is that they still don't fully gauge where Levy is at right now.
Finally, to answer your question from my perspective, I do NOT believe that in this instance Modric is putting one foot in front of the other. I believe he is being told where to put his feet.
It is a disgraceful situation all round, and personally, I think scum like his reps should not be anywhere near our great fudging club. I remain entirely ambivalent about the player himself, as his performances have always spoken for him, and were he forced to stay again, I think again he would play very very well.
On wider note, I'll make a personal appeal to this board. Disagree with me, have a laugh, that's all good. But don't try and ridicule my opinion. It's rude and ignorant, and I come here to DISCUSS things, not be ridiculed by smuggies.
