Scholesy is completely off his rocker.
Luka Modric
- Thread starter Brwned
- Start date
It's pretty obvious that Modric is class, he has done pretty well for his first season but wait till next season to judge him properly. He has the game to be one of the best in the league easy.
He's nothing special.
Yeah but Modric = new Scholes?
Modric would walk into our XI?
Modric should be signed and Anderson sold?
Modric > Jesus?
Scholesy makes this rat unberable.
I agree that next season will be the best time to judge him. He's certainly a good player, i wouldnt say he was "class" just yet though. He's done nothing this season to suggest he's anything better than a good player at the moment.
Where can we find his stats for this year? He was scored and assisted a fair bit, considering its his first season in the PL he has done well. Wait till next year, he has great technique, two great feet and can dictate the tempo of games. Will be a very good player.
Why is it you think he is so average?
Yeh Scholsey (the poster) is clearly in love with him hence his strong, blinkered feelings towards him but i certainly wouldn't turn him away from our squad if he was offered to us.
Thats fair enough I guess. Its true he has shown glimpses of class but not been consistent enough, I deffo agree there.
Anyway, I can't believe I am defending a Croat this much!!
He's good and there is no doubt about it but Scholes is way ahead of him
You should watch him yourself and form your own opinion really.
I've actually admitted to Scholesy in this thread he's proven me wrong, but the over-rating of him is just awful.
3 goals and 8 assists in the league.
It's hardly extraordinary.
Like i said before, it's too early to judge, especially given what's gone on at Spurs this season.
It's not extraordinary but it's not shabby either Spoons.
Spurs have scored 41 goals in the league and Modric has been involved in 11 of them. More than 25% that.
If Rafael hadn't gone walkabout yesterday I think Modric would have been classed as anonymous.
8 Assists is pretty good though.
Goals wise, he could and should have scored more for definite (ie vs Arsenal last minute) but he can score with both feet as seen.
Yes, lets judge next year.
He was one of the best players of Euro 2008.
Again, why is it that you think he is so average?
2 goals and 2 assists in 18 league appearances, and around 5 or 6 of them appearances are less than 30mins.
Much less than Modric but Modric has made 30 league appearances, usually playing the full 90.
And more to the point plays on the wing or in the hole not as a deep lying centre mid.
I didn't think he was all that in Euro 2008. In fact I've only seen him look brilliant in one game, and that was against England.
It's not that he's average, it's the fact that I don't think he's amazing, brilliant, Krisha and Jehovah. I';m sure I'll be proved right. And if I wrong, I'll hold my hands up. But yeah, nothing special.
I thought he was mediocre in the Euros, like the rest of Croatia. Even though a lot of people seem to think Modric and Croatia were very good
Fair enough man.
This, he is very good, but a overrated player also.
He was ok in the first half yesterday, rubbish in the 2nd, but then again that describes the Spurs performance as a whole.
Ok so we all know Scholesy is a complete plank however as much as it pains me to admit as much I'm honestly now of the opinion that he might just have a point about Modric
He really seemed to shine come the latter part of last season and by all accounts has impressed in pre season as well, as attacking midfielders go I have to say right now he's near the top of my list out of those who would be available
Maybe he'll be the next one we nab from Spurs.....

He is the best midfielder in the world at the moment named Luka Modric.
Always thought he was a good player but i would rather take Silva instead, who can also play out wide.
Given the right support and having had a english league season under his belt he could prove to be a cracking little player for the Spuds.
He's obviously got quality but if he can add the stamina and strength to that he could be eyecatchingly good this year . Youve got to incorporate a talanted player like that and give him the opportunity to play - very important who partners him in the middle

He would be perfect for us.
Modric?
Agree, Could be a good early bet for a possible player of the season if spurs get their act together.
good post. I think he might make a few in here eat humble pie.
He wouldnt be the first player to take a season or so to settle into the premiership. Spurs midfield was an absolute mess when he arrived but ever since they bought Palacios their shape improved greatly and he started to show what hes capable of. Potential top class player for me
He wouldn't play in the middle so he really wouldn't.
He'd be a useful player to have, on the wing, but he wouldn't be perfect in any sense.
Wouldn't be Scholesy's replacement.
