IF it's true, then it shows why you can't expect loyalty from players when they know the club will ship them out, whether they want to or not, if they're not wanted.

There is no loyalty from either side

99.9% certain this it total rubbish.

They've taken the news that VJ has been omitted from the champions league squad & added their own twist.

If he's not 'left behind' on Saturday then this article will look pretty silly. Bearing in mind Llorente is recovering from a broken arm, there's a fair chance he will travel.

I think this story exaggerates. No doubt, the club would like to offload Jensen, but Levy has never been one who "explodes in a fury". Rather, he is known to be conduct himself with utmost professionalism, although during negotiations, he wears his counterparts down, and when they are worn-out, he pounces. However, "explodes in a fury", no.

Though I think this actual article is the usual crock of shit with no quotes... from a laughable source...

Football has always been a two way street. If Janssen had scored 30 goals last season and an elite club were offering Holland's main striker 250k a week which Levy was blocking...Janssen would be "furious" too.

Both sides are as bad as each other.

Any article that claims to have an inside line on what Levy is thinking or doing is, imo, false. Think about it - there is so little news, ITK or otherwise, regarding our chair himself.

Sure, have ITK know about transfers, budgets, MoPo, the players etc, but to claim to know how the Enigman works is foolish. If a statement is released about Levy, it's because he wanted it released.

Don't you mean Son is recovering from a broken arm?

Well what do you know "fake news" is actually a thing. I highly doubt there is any truth in Levy a) losing his temper or b) threatening to freeze him out.

They also say he made 39 appearances last year, that doesn't sound right to me...

As a fan I see a player who could have left but chose to stay. Hard to be mad at him.

Sad situation & demonstrates the harsh reality of football in the Premier League.
Poch has lost faith in Janssen, so it's time for him to move on & get some playing time elsewhere. Vinnie appears to have not accepted this & still hopes for another chance.
Seems unlikely Vinnie will get his wish & Spurs have not registered him to play in the Champion's League.The time has come for him to move on.

We only had two front line strikers at the club in Kane and Janssen, it makes sense that we'd need another, previously if one of them was injured the other had to play every game.

(Provided it being correct)
Childish behaviour from Spurs leaders, and a gift to other top 4 contenders. Rather freeze a player out than try to utilise what's best on the pitch. Pochettino says his mantra is "if you are good enough you play". Well, that should be the case, rather than "if you don't transfer, we won't play you". Janssen could have been a great choice over Sissoko vs. both Chelsea and Burnley, and a third striker is a natural choice for a CL squad, but it's more important to punish a player than to try to score.

I like the bit in that article where it says that "you can imagine how unhappy levy would be". They aren't even trying to hide that it's made up nonsense.
