If he wasnt getting great offers before why would he get any better offers now?

Well you can't just sell players if there are really no takers. I think that they have some gas left in the tank, but obviously their best days are behind them and you're not getting top dollar for that and other reasons.
Truth is though, that's a pretty solid team regardless of those players. There are a few things bugging Spurs fans these days, and one of them is rotation. We've played like 10 games this year and these guys need to be rotated out already? Why was Rose even on the field? Surely Davies was fine from last Tuesday? Why was Eriksen playing? He's clearly not inspired and not playing for the shirt at this point, so play Ndombele or Lo Celso in his place? It's frustrating.
And in the last few years we went from Walker to Trippier to Walker-Peters/Aurier and that slot just looks like a mess. It's pretty clear that Kyle Walker-Peters isn't in Pochettino's plans. Aurier is a red card waiting to happen, and just makes so many questionable decisions. Behind them we're down to Foyth or Sanchez or I guess Moussa Sissoko. Terrible planning.
And tactically, you look at Sunday and wonder what in the world Poch was thinking. I mean Son is making runs in behind, looks dangerous and causes some havoc...so naturally you decide to park the bus and give up possession so that Liverpool can run at you all game? I get that you can't play a wide-open game because that's probably unwise, but surely you shouldn't go to a defensive shell and hope for the best either. Were it not for Gazza##### making 3-4 unreal saves, that game was out of hand in the first half.
