Could well be ...Harry has said that the midfield pair of Livermore and Nikko may be the only ones fit, Modric deff out along with Wilson , Sandro and Crouch , he didn't mention Thudd at all .....With the deal going through of Mata to Chelsea he believes that will be the end of the Modric to Chelsea saga .......
On a positive note he says that we will sign two players before the window shuts in10 days and he confirms that a middie and a striker will be the chosen positions ....He talks about a meeting with Gary Cook where he says they are trying to iron out the wages issue but it will only be a loan and no truth in the free transfer rumours .........
Same team for tomorrow as Thursday

I agree with most of that Don, except the Adebayor deal concerns me, maybe I'm being paranoid but I can't see a resolution to the wage issue!

Berbatov's head wasn't right either... sounds somehow all too familiar.
... if his head isn't right and he can't play (work is what the rest of us do) then don't pay him this weeks wages.
Will never happen what with player power being what it is.

Yeh personally i would fine Modric but i don't think they want to rock the boat as it already is......Hopefully once this window ends and we get a few players in Modric will start to play for the club again with a bit of passion like before. Cheslea fans still think their getting modric

Don, I'm 50/50 on whether I think he'll go or not. On hand I think it's important that we show resolve as a club and not bow to the financial weight of Chelsea, but at the same time - we're talking about getting a lot of money for a player who by all accounts doesn't want to be with us.
I think (hope) he'll stay and get his head together (rolling my eyes) but I can see a similar scenario to Berbatov happening... just a gut feeling.

I can see us all asking ourselves soon enough, has Modric gone on strike... or are his injuries genuine. It's not a good sign if he's not playing tomorrow (or at least on the bench).

there is no comparison between Modric and Berbatov .....Maybe Keane and Modric but not Berba
I doubt that he has gone on strike because if he did the management would have said so , they did it before

Don :
Of course they do.
They have to believe they are a "big" club like Man Utd, otherwise why will Spurs sell to them.

he said deal agreed for Mata but Mata chose to stay at Valencia
Also that we met the £16 release clause for Jones, as did 4 or 5 others, but he went to Utd.
Strangely, Levy is away in USA.....get back here now DL and start signing some players!
Modric is injured but "his head is not in the right place".
He was also very clearly towing the Levy line on Modric not being sold, back tracking on his sell Modric buy 4 oters comments of the other. I think DL has had words with him

Modric is acting like a girl who got fingered on prom night,and didn't like it.
At the end of the day Modric has been told his staying,so he should just get on with it,stop saying iv got a twinge Luka,we know you are lying.

Levy doesn't need to be in the UK for deals to happen
Also, I thought Harry said if the last details of the Adebayor deal can't be sorted we'd move on. To who?
On Thudd, I thought he included him amongst the injured. Shame that
It also sounds like Walker will start. Not sure whether his pace against Young is better than Corluka's defending.
