My love for a player very quickly turns to indifference if I feel that they are not 100% with the team. Toby and Danny Rose have both gone down in my estimation because of their behaviour. Danny is also not featured in the calendar.

Curious who else didnt make the cut...
Kane
Hugo
Trippier
Davies
Jan
Dav
Dier
Eriksen
Dele
Son?
Lucas?
Dembele?
Winks?
don't know how much I would read into the calendar... we've seen players in new kit promo shots being sold and ones that were omitted stay. I expect there are a few factors at work here; image rights, unknown contract status, not so popular players with Junior Spurs (they will be the ones wanting it after all).
If Toby cant keep his agent in line then the buck stops with him regardless.
Do you think he could play as a FB?
After Saturdays horror show we could do with one as Aurier doesn’t fill me with confidence and Danny isn’t fit!
Problem is that this is all rumour
Did he pull out of 5he deal at the last moment?
Of course his agent wants the best deal possible
That’s his job
I want him to sign asap
he played there a lot for Belgium
that's a very romantic notion and i admire it but i disagree, most players are mercenaries and the only thing i expect them to do is perform. These guys did not grow up as Spurs fans, they are professionals and as such are trying to get paid their market value.
I will even offer a counterargument, we are talking about a spurs player and you are indifferent towards him because of his contract situation, that's not very loyal either is it ? I just want to illustrate that loyalty in football is very rare, most fans arent at all loyal to players either.
Not that i would doubt your loyalty to Spurs
Just illustrating that its the team that counts and how it performs/conducts itself on the pitch. Everything else is just redundant noise imo
Isn't his agent his Dad???
Either that or his brother, couldn't remember.
Stijn Francis ( Stirr Associates Agency ). Ex pro player.

I get what you're saying, and yes,I'll be the first to admit that I'm not at all realistic when it comes to how I would like players to feel about playing for my beloved team. I try not to get emotionally attached to players for that reason but can't help always myself, some of them just draw you in. Following Tottenham is not a hobby or a pastime for me and most of the people on this forum, it is a full-blown passion. We wouldn't put up with all the crap that goes with it, if we didn't feel like that.
:dierpochhug:
He probably could, as could Jan and Eric, if they were only fit and available.
Trippier has made a few mistakes of late. It happens.
He will come out of it a better playee but the default position should be the alternative right back and at present Aurier does not provide that.
They included Poch next year - Mr January, no less.
Then Christian, Davy, Dele, Eric Dier, Harry Kane, Hugo, Jan, Tripps, Ben, Lucas, Sonny.
No Winks, Lamela or either Moussa.

No Lamela = Cliff wins again.
Agreed, I just decided long time ago that it’s about the club and the performances, Modric was the tipping point. Since his departure I realised that it’s about the game, not the passengers that play it
cliche alert ...
He does enough publicity of his own on Instagram etc
Not sure Tripps will ever become a decent FB even with Poch coaching him
And it gives me no pleasure saying that
Needs to offer more than an ability to put the occasional decent cross in or free kick
