Has loyalty disappeared or have Spurs sold it

Has loyalty disappeared or have Spurs sold it

Wish people would stop having allegiance to players. End of the day every footballer has his price and ZERO LOYALTY to you!


Over on Twitter Shaun makes a very good point, fans do get incredibly attached to the money mercenaries we have today so the fact Tottenham are now starting to produce players who have a feeling for the club will hopefully reverse the worrying trend that has been growing.

When you sign a player you have him for around three years and then he is looking to move for another signing n fee and golden handshake. Players like Kane, Bentaleb, Mason all have a feel for the club and as I've written before we need this rather than just selling our sole to here today gone tomorrow players.

Dawson has gone, Lennon is being shunted out the door, who is left? The youngsters who have broken into the team are our senior staff, there is no father figure, nobody showing that sense of loyalty to instill in others because we have sold them or are selling them all.
