Is Modric really off?
I love and loathe the transfer window. A love-hate relationship, if you will.

Yes, it’s back. The summer has crept up on us like a cheetah hunting a wild boar, and with it comes the transfer window. Some of the rumours I have seen or heard is as follows:
*Pop*. With Didier Drogba’s winning penalty against Bayern Munich on Saturday night, that pop was the sound of Tottenham Hotspur’s Champions League dream ending.
As the season draws to an end, football news continues to dictate the sporting headlines. Following Sergio Aguero’s last gasp winner to secure the Premier League title for Manchester City, Roy Hodgson has announced his first England squad and Kenny Dalglish has been sacked by Liverpool. However, the biggest piece to break has been To the Lane and Back’s first interview with an ex-Spur, Micky Hazard. One of the nicest guys we have ever had the chance of meeting; we spoke Spurs, Arsenal and Lionel Messi. Take it away Micky.
Somewhat of a follow up to the yesterday’s season review; the summer is usually a dreaded time to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan.
So there we have it, another season has drawn to an end and with it, a barrage of season reviews comes flooding towards all those with a computer, laptop or smartphone to hand. Before I divulge this piece I have to warn readers; this is one of those season reviews. But, rather than focus on a month-by-month rundown as favoured by some, To the Lane and Back will look to 2011 Tottenham Hotspur and their ugly 2012 half-cousin, thus the clichéd title.
So, sit back and read through what has been another rollercoaster ride for all Spurs fans.
Upon hearing that Arsenal had drawn 3-3 at home to Norwich City on Saturday, everyone knew the ball had fallen firmly in Tottenham Hotspur’s court in the race for third place.
Crash, bang, wallop, what a win. The first time Tottenham Hotspur win at the Reebok Stadium in their history and what a way, and time, to do it.
Well, well, well. I gather Harry Redknapp awoke on Monday morning feeling pretty damn silly.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they finished sixth. They didn’t rotate enough. They don’t have depth on the bench,” were the words from Vedran Corluka, currently on loan at Bayer Leverkusen from Tottenham Hotspur.
