That wouldn't be such a bad thing tbh.I have a bad feeling he may just be going to wait out his contract in the hope of getting his "big move" ??
Tottenham star Dembele snubs Inter Milan
"Dembele, 31, had been approached by the Serie A giants, however he has snubbed the chance to move to the San Siro due to him wanting a “final big-club move” in his career.
It is understood that Beijing Guoan have offered the Spurs first teamer a huge deal earlier this summer, however he decided that it was too soon to move to China.
Dembele was arguably one of Spurs’ best players last season as he appeared 39 times across all competitions.
Dembele is in the final year of his contract at Tottenham and it is very likely that Daniel Levy would want to cash in on him now rather than letting him leave for free in less than a years’ time. While Levy could always offer the Belgium international a new contract to extend his stay, the fact that his is now 31-years-old and appears to be angling for a move away suggests that is not going to happen. It is odd that he would reject Inter Milan. They are a massive club and one of the most historic in European football, but he has turned it down to pursue a “big-club move”. It’s not like Barcelona, Real Madrid of Bayern Munich are all being linked with the midfield kingpin and Inter are probably the biggest club that are going to make him an offer before the end of the transfer window.
Absolutely spot on. One more year out of Moose, wrapped in cotton wool & wheeled out for the most important 20-25 games is more valuable to the club than a transfer fee of £20 million imo. Whoever we have in mind as his heir, can train with him, learn from him & get used to the set up. I’d be delighted if he stays & even happier if he agreed an extension of his contract. The guy oozes class and I’d love him to remain with us after his career finishes.If he can hold the fort for one last season whilst Winks and all our super new summer CM signings get up to speed/level that will do nicely.
Yeah okay 20million is a lot of money in the grand scale of things but in terms of football and players it’s not! If he stays and we get games out of him and he gives a 100% then fair enough we can right off the money as we won’t have to replace just now but we will need a replacement eventually.Absolutely spot on.

I agree with all of that. It gives us time to identify, sign/train up from the youth set up.Yeah okay 20million is a lot of money in the grand scale of things but in terms of football and players it’s not!

Got a really good reception from the Fulham fans next to us when he came on - was nice to see him being appreciated
