Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp knows he needs to work his best man-management to lift Luka Modric over his failed Chelsea move.
He has praised Modric's attitude throughout the saga, but admits it may be hard to keep the player's spirits up for the rest of the campaign if his possible move to Stamford Bridge fails to materialise.
"I was chatting with (Spurs coach) Joe Jordan about it and he said to me that Luka is going to find it difficult," Redknapp said.
"He said he'll be sitting there thinking every week that he could be winning the Champions League or win the Premier League and earning £100,000 more every week.
"That's the chance you have to take. We can all say he'll be all right, but nobody knows what's in his head.
"We don't know how he's going to feel but he's here and he has to get on with it now. He has to get on with it and be the great player he is."
