Who the hell does Modric think he is?

Thought his hairstyle was a coincidence; changed my mind Friday after I saw him play with number 14. So he thinks he's Cruyff.

He's a good player, but no way near & never will be. Should have picked a different number. Now he'll be a poor Cruyff.

what?

Walcott is number 14 but he Certainly aint No Thierry Henry

Maybe he's just a fan.

Hossam Ghaly?

he used to be 14, now it's wannabe-Cruyff Modric

so Spurs should retire the number 14 shirt to avoid annoying Dutch Gooners?

meh. nothing wrong with the number thing - they presumably ask him to pick a number, his favourite player was #14, so why not? Haircut - a bit cringeworthy to copy your hero's haircut, but meh, I'll pass it off as enthusiasm.

If he starts actively comparing himself to Cruijff in interviews, then perhaps you have a point.

no, they should be smart enough to not give it to a Cruyff-wannabe. Should have protected Modric.

why does Henry wear the number 14 shirt

The way I see it, if he thought he was as good as Cruyff, or better, then wouldn't he try to be his own man? I think he's just trying to emulate his hero, just like millions of young players around the world. I see nothing wrong with it.

Just because I go to the park wearing my Montella shirt, celebrating all my goals like Montella does and yelling "Aeroplanino" at the top of my lungs doesn't mean I think I'm as good as Vince.

Johan Cruyff.

Thierry Henry.

Theo Walcott.






















And you're complaining about Modric?



Arsenal fan in new attempt to break hypocrisy world record?

So what's guz's point? that every no. 14 shirt at every club in the world should be retired because of Cruyff?



Arrogance personified.

Just for that, Modric>>>>>Cruyff

I think they should consider retiring the no.1 shirt, as too many goalkeepers are trying to emulate Gordon Banks.

Is that because of the legend that was Jordi Cruyff?

Our 14 is Robert Huth

I think it may be because it was Alan Smith's shirt, and who the f@ck would want that on their back?
