Luka Modric's 'head is not right' to face

Man Utd says Harry Redknapp

Luka Modric will not face Manchester United on Monday night because "his head's not in the right place", according to Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.

Tottenham have turned down bids of £22m and £27m from Chelsea for the 25-year-old Croatian midfielder.

Modric has hinted he wants to leave White Hart Lane, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy insists he won't sell at any price.

"He's not playing," said Redknapp. "His head's not in the right place."

The Tottenham manager told talkSPORT: "We need him playing, he's very important to us, so we have to sort it out."

Redknapp believes Chelsea's capture of Valencia midfielder Juan Mata on Sunday for £23.5m will affect the situation.

"I would think that's the end of the Modric deal surely," he said. www.bbc.co.uk

Well my belief on this is, if a player does not want to play for the club anymore they might as well let them move on as long as the money they get is the going rate! There is no point keeping a player at your club if he doesn't want to be there, his performances will drop below the usual standard and he will cause unrest among the other players. Yes! Hes a top player, probably Tottenhams best but in my opinion use the money from the deal to buy a player that wants to play for the club!
