Even if VDV is mistaken and Modric still yearns to be Fulham-bound it sounds like VDV himself has been impressed and surprised at how we Spurs fans reacted to this Summer's transfer shenanigans. Perhaps our players (and those of other teams) are not quite as immune to the fans feelings as we suspect.
Caveat: I'm not saying they won't get their heads turned by the right offer from the right club and be off quicker than you can kiss a badge.
Fans Can Make A Difference?

Bales - I think you're right just from reading that article. As I said earlier its nice to hear that from a player. He sounds like he's not experienced that sort of relationship between player(s)and fans before which surprised me.

Definitely ddd - considering the career van der Vaart's had it is pretty surprising, and nice to hear of course. I'd still like to hear it from Modric himself when he signs a new contract
Don - I have to agree with ddd - Tevez's latest insult to the City fans is the polar opposite of how Modric has acted. Tevez has publicly disrespected the club and it's fans with his actions, while the Modric situation happens all the time.

No, Modric asked to not play against City which is what i'm referring too.
----------------------------------
He started against City. What your point? Even if he didn't want to play, he did. How does that make him anything like Tevez?

Tevez allegedly said he didn't want to come on and play
Modric said he didn't want to play against United and City. They both committed a similar offence by not wanting to play for their club. The only difference is Tevez has gone about his business in a bad threatening to sue etc, while modric has got on with Football. Tevez is obviously worse, but Modric wasn't exactly innocent in this whole thing

G&S - I'm not sure who Caveat is but he makes more sense than Don't Matter
