He'll prove our key man in our title push next season

Personally I don't think there's any hidden agenda there in what Harry's saying. I believe he genuinely has a lot of affection for Luka and is saying what comes naturally without trying to purposely @rse-lick. We know as well that he has a tendency to get it wrong when it comes to man-management e.g. Bent.

Sounds like 'arry is angling for a little brown envelope from Lukas agent once he's gone.

Harry has always praised Modric's work ethic, way before the Luka to Chelsea fiasco.

praising rat boy,and his attitude is a good ploy.

but saying,'he's not for sale,and anyway,that bid is too low'

is a gaffe for me,just say,he's not for sale,end of chat.


don't then go on and start talking about the bid,it will only encourage the chavs i feel,that they have a chance.

Where the hell have all these chav wums come from?

On 606 there was only about one chav fan on there

Levy and Harry are playing it perfectly...Harry is distancing himself from whats going on between Levy and Modric, he always mentions that the chairman says Luka isn't for sale, which is exactly how it should be, the last thing we want is that Harry falls out with Modric as well, then it would be a disaster

'Arry isn't one to fall out with players... apart from Darren Bent

Levy and Harry are playing it perfectly
-------------------------------

Yes,Levy is driving him away with threats and 'arry is not resisting as he wants the cash to make more of his famous deals with.

If he goes it shows how weak Levy really is after all his mouthing off.

I can see where the good cop bad cop might be useful but Levy can't like seeing Harry saying that Luka would never cause a problem. That means someone else (Levy) might have. Is Harry suggesting that there was a gentlemen's agreement (for what it is worth)?

If Luka is being unreasonable or disloyal then to my mind he IS causing a problem and one of the biggest ones we've had to deal with in years.

I think majority of footballers are decent people bar a few. So Modric probably is a good lad.

He probably is, but this really wasn't the way to get himself a move. Look at how Fabregas and Nasri have acted....both want to leave, but haven't come out moaning in the press.
RRP...agreed, think Levy and 'Arry playing it perfectly.

Yep - When I saw Harry's comments I thought they were well-chosen too.

If Modric IS going to stay (unlikely though that seems) we need him to still have a good relationship with Harry and the rest of the playing/coaching staff.

It's doff, not doth !

Good article all the same!
