Why? Both are only likely to be squad players this coming season and if the rumours are true that Bentaleb has an attitude problem, why would you want an uppity squad player?

Very funny
I've always like Mason but cant see him ever being a regular start for a top 6 PL team. The only way I can see him staying at SPurs beyond the next 12 months is if he's happy to have the sort of squad place that Nicky Butt or Phil Neville had at Utd....and by that I mean generally a squad player and only ever a starter in real purple patches of form
If NB is off, I do think we need another CM this summer. We have VW to cover Dier, but no-one of the right standard to cover Dembele

Bentaleb hardly featured last season, so I am not sure that it is a loss that will be particularly hard to cover and if we bring in another player, we are blocking opportunities for the youth players to get game time.

Mason has said (either as reported by Roy here or in an interview, can't remember which) that we wants to fight for his place.
Maybe (maybe) Bentaleb (and Pritchard) wanted more assurances which Poch can't or won't give : so it could be the decision to move on is theirs as well as the club's.
There were some reports that the club is open to a loan deal for Bentaleb to Benfica, and I read something last night that Leeds were after Pritchard on loan (although he has already proved himself outside of the PL, so whether that would be of value might be debateable). However I can't imagine that we'd keep them all on the books, although it would be an option to see how they fare elsewhere before letting them go completely.

News: Spurs demand £10m at least for Nabil Bentaleb, who wants to stay in PL. Not much interest yet at that price.
Jack Pitt-Brooke @JackPittBrooke 3m3 minutes ago
Similar situation to Alex Pritchard. Spurs demanding up to £9m but few Champ clubs willing to pay that much for him.

Also told that, contrary to some reports, Kieran Trippier is going nowhere. Wants to stay and fight for his place at Spurs.

Bentaleb is worth £20m in this market.
If he's as good as you think he is then you can double that - especially if PSG come calling
What do you think his strengths and weaknesses are?
Gutter Boy
Tim Sherwood
Strengths - composure, passing, drive, intercepting, pressing, mentality
Weaknesses - occasional over risky decision-making, positioning
Sorry just seen this. No op in the end to my knowledge.

Sherwood is out of a job though.

Luka Modric
In a World where Jordan Ibe fetches £15 million, I don't see how Pritchard isn't easily worth £9 million we apparently want for him. Bentaleb on the other hand is surely worth a LOT more than £10 million? The only thing that could skew Bentaleb's transfer value is if he is on a very large contract.

Wages won't be a concern for PSG if they are still the prime suitor

Genuine question, when was it they were they thought to be a prime suitor? Source?

It's been in the press since at least last summer, but still stories from April-June this year
