Spurs fans here in the Tavern are gaining a sense of uncertainty as one of their star men looks to be heading for the exits.
Tottenham fans have been living in dreamland for the vast majority of this Premier League season, with the managerial Lionel Messi at the helm, no wonder they’re ecstatic.
After an incredible season last time out, Wembley has laid eyes on its first taste of regular Champions League football after becoming the permanent home for the duration of this season, causing our punters here in the Tavern to not hesitate to agree that it hasn’t disappointed one single bit.
Indeed, after pushing themselves into the dominant position of 4th place, Mauricio Pochettino will be doing everything he can to elevate his Spurs side into the deeper realms of a possible but unlikely title challenge.

However, a knockback was suffered on Saturday lunchtime they headed out the tunnel at the Emirates to play in a hugely anticipated North London Derby, with both sides living at opposite ends of the spectrum, but when it comes to Derby day, all form goes out the window.
This was precisely what happened to a Pochettino and his men, in relation to one of their worst performances in the Argentine’s reign at the club. An embarrassing 2-0 loss at the hands of not only their most bitter rivals, but also one of the most out of form teams in the Premier League, had many pundits questioning the reliability of this Spurs side.
One player in particular who seems to have almost lost his way in this Spurs side is England international Danny Rose, who’s been one of the most loyal customers for the club since gaining a first-team berth. Yet was snubbed a starting place and left on the bench in arguably the biggest game in this club’s season, proving that perhaps an exit is the only viable option for the left back, after being linked with a switch to Manchester United.
So having taken in the controversy, here’s TWO players who could possibly follow Rose on his way…
Dele Alli
The English sensation has been at the heart of both fans and players enjoyment over the past couple of seasons for the club, bringing a bundle of goals, assists and a handful of humorous memes.
However, the inevitable seems to have come earlier than many people expected, due to Los Blancos vultures circling around the Wembley arch, waiting to swoop in on the impressive youngster. Links in The Sun suggests that Dele Alli is set to reject a move to Barcelona as he opts to make the Bernebau his new found home.
Fans and pundits here in the Tavern all agree that this was bound to happen one day, but can’t stress enough at just how vital it is to utilize the money to its full potential with a suitable replacement for one hell of a void left in his wake.
Mousa Dembele
Mousa Dembele joined the Lilywhites back in the year of 2012 and has been one of their most loyal customers over the past 5 years. Labelled as the star in the centre of midfield, the Belgian just hasn’t hit his form this season, with injuries and a possible replacement taking its toll on proceedings.
At the age of 30 going you’d think he was past his prime at an age where first-team football is required more than ever, with a possible 5 or 6 years left in his career, he has no time to waste.
However, the rise of England prodigy Harry Winks has left the Belgian struggling for a way back into the side, and after the recent loss to Arsenal, reports haven’t been short of brutal as they slam the midfielder for his derby performance.
Spurs fans, thoughts?
