The only way it doesn't sour is if Tel explodes and Son becomes rotation.
Another season of Son starting week in week out and playing like ass will tarnish his reputation. This summer is really the perfect time to leave.

Another season of Son starting week in week out and playing like ass will tarnish his reputation. This summer is really the perfect time to leave.
i dont think he would even if son left tbh
Maybe some players are saying they don't want to leave. They want to stay and play CL football. Can't blame them for that.
Carrick was willing to stay if we made him our highest paid player. Apparently.
Probably not but even less chance if he stays
I've noticed that these kind of stories always circulate just before Levy sells one of our better players, "Oh but he wasn't committed to the club, so we were forced to sell"
You will even hear people on here parroting that rhetoric like trained seals.
These people always miss the KEY point.
The reason our players are like this is that the club is not showing the required ambition to keep them. Like the fans they can see that Levy speaks with forked tongue about winning leagues etc while shopping at Buy Low.
This sale will then free up funds for maybe a Kudos or a couple of "prospects" you never heard of. The end result being it will likely reduce our wage bill.
And we end up not really having improved the squad at all. Losing one of our better players and punting it on mediocrity.
This is the way we went from this first 11.
Lloris, Walker, Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweirald, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane.
To the eleven we have now, where I'm not sure any of them get into that team...
Meanwhile Levy keeps selling an illusion of ambition and keeping bums on seats and punters in the Spurs store.
He really is the master salesman I will give him that. He has at least half our fanbase totally on a string.
Same shit every season, every window. Ad infinitum

Quotation marks on made up quotes is crazy work
......But you'd have greedily choked down on the same source if it had said he was leaving "because of wages".
You massive hypocrite.
Sell him for the best price possible and just move on. The club has to get better at trading players out, it's no big deal even if the player in question is one of our better ones, especially if he doesn't want to be here
Didn’t think that was the case, but maybe so. Nevertheless, one example from 20 years ago.
But the wider point that we don’t pay high enough wages stands.
Meanwhile we will have Spurs fans cheering for Romero to be sold.
We’ve all be guilty of buying into it before but once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it.
If he leaves it will be because of wages. Directly or indirectly
I honestly don’t know how you keep doing this mate. You can’t believe the things you write every day.
Probably also wants to play for an Argentine, beside Argentine players, speak his own language, enjoy better weather and be in a city that has a better “pretty:complete hole” ratio than London.
The squad is good enough for another trophy (Fa/Carling) with a tactician at the helm . Give Alex Ferguson a blank cheque and even he will not be able to win the league with this Spurs core XIThe depth is there to finish in the top 7 of the PL and play the group games of the CL.....for next season I dont think much more can be expected
To try and win either the PL or CL?????
Treat this season as another rebuild year with some of the old guard leaving (Son, Romero) and exciting new talents settling in.
Do we know he'll get significantly more money at his new club?
I reckon for players like Bale and Modric they left partly for more money and partly for what they see as a step up, or for Romero just a new challenge, and a different environment, but of course money is a key factor if the new team is rich like RM.

It's such a stupid comparison.
This isn't the Son club nor should anyone care what Son wants, he has been a great player but his age and form as well as wages at the highest level says it's time to say goodbye.
I agree he should go. But how dare do you take that I he wants to stay?
Would you publicly transfer list him? Stick him in the reserves? Remove the captaincy? Make him train on his own?
Tough one to deal with if he wants to stay.
