Do other fans honestly think we're going to sell 4 first team players this summer? They surely aren't serious???
They believe that because they want to believe that and its the story that the press are selling. It is going to be a long and tedious summer for Spurs fans because every journo around knows that fans of United, Arsenal et al will jump on any story speculating about a Spurs player leaving. I've no idea how much truth there is/will be in any of these stories because in many cases the author themselves have no idea how much truth there is. All they are interested in is whether or not the story is read and fans of our rivals are falling over themselves hoping that this brilliant Spurs team will be broken up because its progress and recent performances terrifies them.
Its no different to any other field of reporting at the moment: Trade on the fear of the masses and tell them what they want to hear.
