They are in the Champions League. They offer players £100k a week. It's not a hard concept to grasp. Spurs are rich, but are still down the pecking order wages wise compared to the clubs you mentioned.
It sounds like we've told Jrod and Schneiderlin they're staying, regardless of their wishes. Finally we've learnt to say NO!!!
Obviously set an acceptable price and it was met, but now got to the point where money isn't important but players are. Liverpool said that our financial director was impossible...glad to hear that...touch of the ol' Cortese magic.

I quite understand the offer of higher wages, and I am sure that spurs would offer higher wages than we pay. BUT, if the players are under contract and we don't need the money to survive the Board could just say no! Just as Liverpool said to Suarez last season. that's also not a hard concept to grasp.
Didn't see the SSN interview yet....however it seems the talksport one is as if he's reading off DTLW's script from earlier! Very good at giving the answer HE wants to give to any question.
Don't think a player needs to be back on SFC territory to be sold. If he wanted to be part of the gravy train, his agent would have done the work. Agents dont take holidays.
