Tottenham Titbits - Luka Modric, Michel Vorm and Christian Benteke

Michel-Vorm


Marca claim that Luka Modric will commit his future to Real Madrid with the return of Zinidine Zidane and sign a new contract to take him until 2021. He currently has a year left on his deal and is constantly linked with Inter Milan, but then their name is thown at every story.


Michel Vorm is leaving Tottenham and heading back to Swansea City on a free transfer. he has been overtaken as number two to Hugo Lloris by the form and improvement of Argentine Paulo Gazzaniga. Vorm has been a good servant to the club since he joined us for £3.5 million (€3.97m) in the summer of 2014.

Christian Benteke made the wrong move joining Crystal Palace and it is no surprise to me that he has been a total flop. He is a one trick pony, he needs crosses, in the air he is great. Andros Townsend likes to cut inside and shoot himself, as we at Spurs know and Wilfried Zaha likes to do it himself too.

Their full-backs don't get forward to provide crosses either so how was he going to get supplied?

He has now lost all confidence and is a shadow of the player he was at Aston Villa. His temperament doesn't help, he went missing in the Cup Final against Arsenal for them when things weren't going Aston Villa's way.

Daft as it may sound, he could be a back-up striker for Harry Kane. He doesn't have the one-touch skilful football no, but he does have the battering ram aerial threat which gives us an alternative option.

With Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen at the club, if Toby stays, there are other Belgians so with confidence boosted and as a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, he could be a cheap option

The Times reports the 28-year-old (29 in September) is set to go to China for £15 million, while others report he is refusing to leave Crystal Palace and wants to remain in the Premier League.

Fernando Llorente has shown his worth as an aerial target when things aren't going for us, he could be an option if all else fails in attempts to bring in another striker and it would leave our transfer kitty intact to strengthen the midfield and defence with high-quality players.

  1. "Daft as it may sound"
    Absolutely, yet I find myself agreeing with you. Get him in with a team that understands his strengths, and we've had to learn how to get the best out of Fernando recently, and he do do a job for us when called upon to.

    Certainly we'd need to play to those strengths when he's on the pitch but that variety is something we're good at - and it makes it very hard for opposition teams to set themselves out against our varied threats.

    COYS!!
