Why is it “murky behaviour”?
If the player wants to hold a club to an agreed contract - that’s their right.
Just like when a club wants to hold a player (Kane) who wants to leave to an agreed contract… or is not that “murky behaviour”?

He publicly came out and said he wanted to leave Spurs- which would essentially make it difficult for any manager to put him in the team.
However he and his agent then refused all the offers that came in, to enrich themselves and rip off Spurs.
Why should he go to a club he doesn't want to play for or offer him less wages?
So now we get nothing for Aurier
23m, 12m 0m
How do our players devalue so quickly
Toby, Sissoko now Aurier
We keep burning money , we will never have the money to buy decent replacenents

If he wants to play and values playing he should. It’s called a trade off.
And yet we just turned down 130M for a 28 year old Kane.
You make money selling players you don’t want to sell.
All credit to Pochettino for his good work (he did a really good job as a manager).... but he certainly is very poor at judging players' character - as he signed 2 players with an attitude that sucks and both were expensive players.
Clubs DO have information about a certain player's "mental attitude" and it was really poor judgment by Pochettino - and the scouts - not to spot those character traits in both Aurier and Ndombele.
Aurier played decent enough last season to be able to get a new club at a decent price but he prefers to sit out his contract. Most probably "well-advised" by his agents.
At least Nuno has shown he does not tolerate the non-sense of Aurier and Ndombele.

If it was mutual they may have met halfway.

Serge Aurier has agreed to terminate his Tottenham contract by mutual consent.
He leaves on a free.
He had interest from likes of Watford, Real Betis, Spartak Moscow and Genoa but he feels he should be playing at a higher level.

It means Spurs don't have to pay him any salary or bonuses - about 3.5m - and that he becomes a free agent. He can then sign for anyone he wants at any time, and we free up a "foreign" space in the squad.
It's roughly about the same value as a 5m sale - no tax or agent fees.
If it happens it's a reasonable result all around, he wasn't going to accept a transfer and we were not going to give him a squad number, he'd have just stunk up the place until next summer.
Terrible signing when you consider why he was suspended by PSG .... let's hope this happens, rarely do I wish players ill so I'll just stick with good riddance.
Another levy masterclass.
