Corluka: Spurs are a bigger club than City

[eyejay51]

What next - a half time circumcision to prove his undying loyalty?

didnt he used to play for us about 3 years ago?

I think so. Was he the one that had the turning circle of the QE2 and ran like he'd shat himself?

He blatently didn't hear us lot at Wembley then

Vedran Vedran you made such a silly mistake leaving - we know you are in denial, but live with it. You were a rung on the ladder but very low down I'm afraid.

I remember Dunnie always used to scream at him for leaving his side open.

Tottenham defender Vedran Corluka believes his club are still bigger than Manchester City, despite the Blues' financial muscle.

The Croation spent a year at Eastlands before moving to White Hart Lane on the same day City were bought by the Abu Dhabi United Group.

But although City are now the richest club in the world, Corluka insists he has no regrets about jumping ship.

Corluka claimed when he joined Spurs that they were a bigger club than City - and he has seen no reason to change his mind.

'I still think that,' he said. 'The fans are a little bit more close to the club here than at City. I have nothing against City and I had a great time there but when I played for City, the stadium wasn’t always full, whereas here, you never see that.

'Here, the stadium is full even when we play friendlies, so you can see that there is more passion for the club here than there is there. The most important thing for Spurs now, though, is to keep this team together and to add some players, not to sell two players and then try to rebuild the team because then it’s a hard thing to do.'

'When you have a squad that have been here for a while and you just bring in the players you need - the manager will know them - then it’s much easier. If we stay together for a long time it’s easier to achieve bigger things because we will know each other so well.

'Everyone wants to play in the best competitions but we need to try to achieve that here, not think about leaving the club to go somewhere else,' added Corluka. 'We need to try to put the club in the Champions League next year.

Outspoken: Corluka had a confrontation with a fan when Tottenham played Stoke

“I’m good friends with Luka [Modric] and I don’t see any desire there that he wants to leave the club. When I have spoken with him, he has never said that he wants to leave Spurs. He knows he is an important player here, everyone likes him and I think he wants to achieve good things.

'But, of course, he will expect maybe a couple more signings to be added to this team. I have known him since he was 14, and even then you could see he was a quality player but now he’s showing it in one of the toughest leagues and you see that he is probably one of the best in his position.'

Corluka has struggled with injuries to both ankles this season that left him unable to play more than once a week.

But he remains Harry Redknapp's first-choice right back and is confident that Spurs can fight it out at the top of the table next season.

'As for next season, it’s difficult, but with some investment, of course, we could be there to compete,' Corluka added.

'It’s hard to say we can win the league in a certain period, though. We need to think positively and to think we can do it but when, we don’t know.'

What a dickhead, clearly still bitter. Also Spurs are not close to selling out every single game

a good move by hughes to get rid, good player but soft as shit.

They have got more fans than us admittedly. And they've had more success so in my book that makes them bigger than us. However, we are fast catching them up. Just did a Facebook search to try and gague relative fan bases etc and their official page has 630,000 likes. Ours now has 625,000 likes. Ours had 600,000 before the FA Cup Final so we pulled in another 25,000 likes just for winning the cup! (The Rags have nearly 14,000,000 likes!)

errrr. No. More success as well????

Did someone tell the useless f*ck that they used to get 9,000 in the first division - this was after they had won the fa cup in 81. Did he see that they brought less than Wigan for their most important game of the season.

They are London's equivalent of Blackburn in stature, nothing more nothing less. West Ham are far bigger IMO.
