but for me you could do far better with a better chairman with a proper long term plan.

like who?

grass isn't always greener. levy is not perfect but one thing you can say about us is we won't do a leeds.

need to be very careful what you wish for when it comes to a man running a football club.

Can you put that into one sentence please?

On modric for me he's the best player I've seen play for us ( mid 90's ) the guy is absolute world class, strong for a little lad too.

Hengy you really find this article long? Really? Come on now.

Chronic I understand that but with Levy I fail to understand where he's actually taking the club. He's given Sherwood the contract and now apparently wants to bring Van Gaal in. Constant changing and chopping of managers is not going to bring success in my view. Spurs are not Chelsea with your owner setting fire to cash for fun and also you don't have champions league football.

There's not much you can do when the best players demand to leave. I agree with you on the purchases we have made. I would rather have bought players with PL experience. You could see what Levy was doing though, with Utd, Chelsea and City all having new managers it was a chance for us to go for the title and a big squad full of quality players would have done that.

Unfortunately the players that we got in are not good enough yet...The signings have been a let down so far but we are hanging in there.

he gave sherwood the contract to stop the unprofessional spurs players going through the motions as they definitely would if they knew the manager was off in summer….

I said it at the time; it was obvious modric was going, so why did we but our head in the sand and wait around for ages to sign a replacement? Montolivo was available on a free and plays a similar game to modric (deep-lying playmaker). You need that player who can set the tempo and has the short/medium/long range passing - dembele and paulinho don't offer this hence why our football has been poor to watch for about 18 months.

Hate that caaaant though, and he's far inferior to fabregas.

What a stupid thing to say, different players with different style... Modric is world class and would get into any team in the world

How is it a stupid thing to say? Fabregas is far superior to modric. Both are playmakers but fabregas offers far more goal threat and gets more assists

Fab plays around the striker a far more advanced role than modric

he is world class but he wouldn't get into barca's team…. if you think he would then instead of who?

he also would struggle to get into bayerns side.

no shame in that - he is world class imo

He either plays as false striker or in centre mid. Even back in his arsenal days he still offered a lot more by way of goals and assists. Both quality but I'd take fabregas all day long

I'd say he's now better than xavi whose declining now ( still very good )

Don't really know bayern team tbh as don't watch them much tbh

I'd have them both in the team Lionel but if it comes to a choice modric would get into mine every time

He wouldn't get into barca's team but he would bayern's for sure

Analog

How comes all your articles go on arsenal board? There decent and I normally miss them as don't venture off here much

posted on 21/2/14

I would pick Fabregas over Modric if given the choice but by a whisker. They are different types of players however in my book and potentially could play well in a 3 with a DM behind them

Hengy, arsenal board is probably the best for wider football debates

AND we still moan about it

Modders is a class player, no doubt about that - and wish him well, we couldn't afford a player like him, so we gamble on those who have potental. If the gamble pays off we get a class player for a few years before selling on at a profit when the european giants come knocking.

As for Levy, he has a fair chunk of investment in Spurs, so he cant be sacked or replaced without a takeover (or Joe buys him out) - I think its too easy to criticise him for the signings but he didnt actually scout the players we bought, on the other hand he did employ Baldini. Im struggling to think who could have done better than Levy overall, he is a good chairman. Amongst the chaos of managers coming and going there has always been an underlying steely stability.

I don't know how to tag more than one. How do you?

Analog try holding CTRL down and click another team. The other should remain selected. But for some reason I can't post on multiple boards either
