Spurs set to sign Argentinian?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 20th, 2008

According to Italian club Fiorentina, Spurs have had a £4m offer for winger Mario Santana accepted.

Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino told The Sun: “We’ve had an offer from Tottenham who have arranged to pay €5m.

“It is a figure that satisfies us because Santana does not feature in our plans for the 2008-09 season.

“I expect Santana to join Spurs within the next few days as he has been offered a three or four-year contract in London.”

Modric impresses in Croatia win

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on June 12th, 2008

I’m very much liking of what I’m seeing of Luka Modric. In Croatia’s 2-1 win over Germany, the midfielder shone with his ability on the ball and passing.

Due to Croatia playing five in midfield, Modric had chances to forward and got in the box a few times, even in the latter stages of the game, showing what good stamina he’s got.

With Germany being a tall physical side, I did wonder how Modric would cope, however he got stuck in and showed he’s not such a lightweight despite his small stature.

Modric did get tackles in too, and was even booked for a two footed challenge – unfairly in my opinion.

Costing Spurs nearly £17m, I think we paid way too much, however we’ve lacked a player since Michael Carrick who can get on the ball and control midfield. In Modric, I think he can do that job brilliantly.
