The bumper year ones? If so, I stand corrected.
Modric, Bale, (Walker?), Kane and Lloris have all had them I think, arguably at the time our best players.

Yes, all our best players, the List includes players like Huddlestone, Lennon, Jenas etc as well as they were among our best at the time. And of all them haven't been sold the next season.
So the 'proof' above is an indication that the player in question was indeed a key player. And key players are so good that they are wanted by the best - and therefore more likely to leave the club.
Maybe not now since they are still very young and not really established(compared to those sold) yet. Is Walker good enough for a top 4 club? I don't think he has much interest from them. Rose only improved this season. If he continue with his progress, there is a chance he could attract the top 4 teams in the future.
Yes, mate, but I only point to your 'evidence' that we sell the players that get such contracts.
The List you provided was very selective.
The reason why all good players get new contracts is to make sure we get good fees if we feel we have to sell, or even in some cases, want to sell, but still want a good fee..it doesn't meant that it will happen the next summer at all.
But if we were to sell him it would be better with 4 years remaining than 2 years, yes?
Look, Lloris could leave in the summer, as could every player bar Kane or Bentaleb, but not because he signed a contract last summer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. How the hell did we get him in the first place?
We have been extremely lucky to have him as our keeper these past 3 seasons and he deserves Champions League football, which he wanted with us.
Also, you can not say he's not put enough effort in to get CL. True Professional too, it will be sad to see him leave though, very sad indeed.
He may give us one more season though, hopefully!

Our players seem to constantly sign new 5 year deals. It doesnt mean anything. Any time one of them wants a raise, they have to sign a new deal. By signing a 5 year deal you get maximum compensation if the player is sold. You wouldn't give someone a raise but leave them with a year left on the contract, because then they'd leave for free and you've lost even more on their wages.

said. Plenty of players have been offered contract extensions. You can't just pick out the best players and then say thats evidence. Thats mental.Even if he does leave, it doesnt necessarily have anything to do with whats going on now. He might get an offer from real madrid in July and think actually i don't want to stay here anymore. Or we might sign a few of his mates in the french team and he thinks "well i was going to leave but i don't fancy leaving now"
Its got nothing to do with the new stadium. Im using your conspiracy theory attitude with ENIC over that particular issue to get in a mildly amusing and somewhat obvious dig at your expense.
You don't have a sense of humour that you're aware of, do ya?
Yeah, I do. I dont think their first thought, when a player signs a new deal is "wooohooo. we can sell him next week for maximum value" That's not to say he will be here next season. we may well get an offer for him that cant be turned down(cos every player has a price).If we do, and he goes, so be it.
well, I don't have any special information other than that in the new stadium thread.We did win that planning dispute.You know, the one where you said it wouldnt surprise you if ENIC were secretly funding the case against us. We have done a couple of the enabling developments as well (the technical college and the offices/supermarket). Doesnt surprise me they got done first. All to often, people complete the main build and then weasle out of the enabling developments. I would bet that the S106 document specified that certain things had to be done before the main build could start.Anyway, as you mention the new stadium, have you got some update for us. When the planning design was released in 2008, summer 2014 was the expected opening date. And that was playing on the safe side. If you have some info FFS share it out
the delays? Its all been fairly obvious, IMO. a council that didnt seem to want us until the riots, and until we threatened to go to stratford (which would have been utterly wrong. I certainly think we would have been there like a shot had we won that bid. it wasnt done to bring the local council into line), plus planning disputes.(added to that, Ive never hidden that I think ENIC took over planning to move us to the athletics stadium that was planned for Pickett's Lock)
Now, it may well be that ENIC get an offer they can't refuse before the build is complete, and sell up. Assuming that doesnt happen, I have absolutely no doubt that ENIC will still be in control when the new stadium is complete.(even if its simply because selling a club with a fully built stadium should realise a greater profit than selling the club with a half completed one) No Idea when that will be.
It's not about Hugo explicitly stating he wants to leave, it's about him saying the usual transfer hints when they say things like 'we'll see how the club are at the end of the season', or 'I haven't sat and spoken with the club about my future, I'm concentrating on this season'.
He is the one player (as well as Harry) that I really would like to stay, but he is going to be a target for quite a few clubs, I imagine. He's quite laid back and doesn't to give too much away, and I'm not so sure that he would turn down a return to his home country, especially if your throw in CL football. However, he may surprise us all, and that would be a real result.
He's a Spurs supporter and only telling it like it is. We have been a selling club for a long time now, Sheringham, Klinnsmann, Berbatov, Keane, Modric, Bale, Carrick.This one spooky at the metro is going to get his head kicked in, I'll tell you m8!
Getting into the top 4 did not attract 'top' players as we could not afford the wages of top players.
At this time Woolwich also sold a lot of their top players like Nasri, Fabregas, Clichy, Toure, Song, etc.....as they wanted the better wages and a chance to win things. They were also a selling club.
Fact is for a long time we have sold our best players to buy. That equates as a selling club.
Micky Hazard, amongst others, has also said the same.
If Hugo insists he wants to go to Man U or Woolwich and they both offer the correct money then it will be interesting to see if Levy's vow that he would never sell another major spurs asset (i.e. the Bales, Modric's & Loris's ) to another EPL rival after the backlash he received for selling Berbatov to ManUre.
Anyway, if we are to believe that Vorm was brought in because we are selling Hugo this summer and Hugo put pen to paper on a 5yr deal as a favour to us so that we could command top dollar, then we must have an idea of who we are selling him too, surely.
He may actually be very happy where he is. After all he left a CL team to come to us.
As I've said many times, Lyon have a sell-on clause. Levy would want alot of money for him but with the sell-on clause it makes the fee even bigger and more difficult for other clubs to sign Our captain who's just signed a new contract.
It makes a mockery of the notion that Spurs are better off without CL football.
Top players want to be in it. Its our target, and has been for the last 8 years. We've managed it once and its cost us 3 world class players.
The 4th is on his way out this summer.
We dont have time for 4 fucking transitional seasons on the spin Im afraid.

aulinhofacepalm:
We are a club that gets one or two special players and thinks that's enough.
Chelsea have 6 great players, we have two IMO (Kane & Lloris). Unless we are bold enough to improve our first 11 we will never get top 4 again.
Though top players however can only take so much, being relied on to save every game and they relise they could be playing with other players of their level and win medals. I don't want us to do to Kane what we did to Bale and put everything on him, as a team we need to be more than a few players.
Last time we got top 4 we had a team that included the likes of Modric, King, Parker, Bale etc, that's how you get top 4.
Why, have you somewhere to go to?
It could be argued that every season for every club is a transition from the previous season to the next one?
Have to agree with Sammy on this. Clubs go through transition but we seem to be going through transition every season in a big way whether it be managers or players.
You look at the likes of Woolwich, Chelsea they might have a big transitional year every 3-4 years not every season, that's is stability. I accept we need another one to get rid of 7-8 deadwood and improve certain areas but I hope the season after we have a more settled squad it will benefit us.
Yeah, I was just attempting to play devils advocate...anyhow I just found this...
French journalist has apparently spilled the beans regarding Hugo Lloris’ Spurs contract at an Woolwich Supporters’ Trust meeting in London
Normally, what the monsters across North London do behind closed doors would be of no interest to Spurs fans, but French journalist Julien Laurens has shared some potentially troubling news about the future of our No 1.
According to the event’s organiser, the French journalist has claimed that Hugo Lloris’ contract includes a €20m release clause for any Champions League club if (when) Tottenham do not qualify for the competition themselves.
Perhaps it is understandable that Laurens would want to please his audience by taking a swipe at their rivals. It is also likely that he would like the captain of his national team to be playing at the very highest level of club football. If that’s the case, he might have come up with a more believable sum. Daniel Levy is a lot of things, but a poor businessman is not one of them. The idea that he would allow the sale of the club’s greatest asset on the cheap to a direct competitor is simply unbelievable.
It has been widely reported over the years that Daniel Levy does not allow release clauses in any contract because it takes away all negotiating power. What’s more, he has shown an extreme reluctance to sell the club’s best players within the Premier League ever since the great Dimitar Berbatov debacle of 2008.
While there is every chance Lloris leaves this summer, this particular rumour should be discounted. Levy will look abroad at 2 or 3 times the fee purportedly mooted by Laurens before he would consider sanctioning a move.
