Modric - No Longer A Spurs Player

I didn't say they weren't the greatest, i was just stating that the criteria you were using (number of years served), is not a way to find the greatest. Just the ones who were here longest.

I refute that and it makes me puke when spurs fans fawn over this guy. In his first stint he was amazing then tinkled off as soon as he could. Second stint he needed playing time, and he was crap for most of that season apart from his 4 goals in the last match which made his stay look better than he was.
Spurs Legend? never in my eyes!!!

Ah, but there were far bricker, who were here for far longer... and I didn't include them!
Great players are one thing... but longevity only adds to that greatness...? surely to qualify for 'GREATEST' status, a great player has to stay here for longer than it takes for his agent to decide he deserves better??
The Klinsmann argument is one that splits opinion... yes he was great, yes he was here... but he also fudged off... plenty of players stuck it out and saw the job through... if that's not worthy of greatness, I dunno what is?
then again, Ben Alnwick and Vinny Samways were here longer than many in our history... so I see your point!!!

I get the feeling there may be a semantics issue here..
Spurs legend =/= Greatest players to play for spurs
Granted some spurs legends are some of the greatest players to play for spurs, you can have great players who played for us not being legends, and you can have legends who were not always great players...
i.e - great player - ability based
spurs legend - based on a lot more (ability, loyalty, style, etc)
Spurs legend =/= Greatest players to play for spurs

Klinsmann = Legend (due to his status earned BEFORE he signed for us)
Maradonna = Legend (same criteria, and yet he only played one Friendly game for Spurs, therefore he was a Legend who played for us!)
Hoddle = Greatest & Legend... became a Legend WHILST playing for Spurs... even whilst we were pretty brick!
King = See Hoddle...
then there's Modric = No doubting his ability as a great player... but for the whole of last season, you got the feeling he was 'doing us a favour' by demeaning himself to stoop low enough to represent us... and now can't wait to leave... hardly the behaviour of one of TOTTENHAM'S GREATEST players is it?

That wasn't the point though was it?
The original point was one of the greatest players to have ever worn a tottenham shirt.
Like i said, semantics..

Maybe the issue is not that he wants to leave but the way he has gone about it that completely stinks.
In my opinion he does not come close to one of the greatest players ever to play for Spurs
are people really arguing the toss over someone saying Modric is one of the greatest players to play for Spurs ?
quite clearly meant that he is one of the best players to play for us rather than some kind of legend.
and in my time supporting Spurs he is definitely up there with the best

Agreed. I haven't loved how he's left, but four years is a long time in the modern game (twice as long as Berbatov, who some still fawn over here), and he was an absolutely fantastic footballer for most of his time here. I'm glad he's off to Madrid, and I, for one, will be cheering him on and hoping to see him win leagues and a European Championship.
Let's not also forget that he buckled down after the Chelsea thing didn't happen and had a fantastic season last year. I couldn't have cheered him if he went there, but I'm fine w/ him going to RM.
Class player, and I would applaud him given the chance.

Has he actually left then ???

Indeed...even though it looks like a matter of time, the only person to have publicly said anything is Mamic! And I wonder why?!!!!!
He denied having said that, on the official Dinamo page.
Greatest to play for us? :ross::ross::ross:

Which would still be nonsense.
€2.5m would propose that the overall deal is €50m. I don't see those figures quotes anywhere; the most I've seen the media speculate over is this €45m.
It's obvious the media don't understand that any sell-on percentage will only be applied to the value over and above the £16.5m. At most, I think Dynamo will receive £925k (€1.2m)
