Yaya Toure highlights Spurs problem
Yaya Toure is a fantastic player, last season the midfielder scored 20 goals in 35 Premier League games with 9 assists. He played for 2,917 minutes and thus had a goal affect on a game every 100.58 minutes.
During the summer the former Barcelona player wanted to leave but Manchester City wouldn't let him, now reports suggest Manchester City are better off without him in the team!
You do not become a bad player overnight but if a player doesn't want to be at a club anymore then you can not guarantee you are going to get the performances you think you should be getting. It doesn't always work that way of course, Morgan Schneiderlin is still turning in performances at Southampton despite wanting to leave.
The point is you don't know how a layer is going to react until it's too late, sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not.
Now I agree players have far too much power and contracts are merely pieces of paper to guarantee the highest possible transfer fee but I don't see that changing.
Once again with players who want to leave it's mental, even if they try to give their best performances their hearts aren't always in it. Some will drive themselves to improve their own game but some will just idle for a year doing nobody any good at all.

Spurs improvement hindered by a resistance to change
A 10 minute subs appearance can tell us a lot
It's very hard to know who wants to be at Tottenham right now and who doesn't as come transfer window time they all want to put themselves in the shop window and actually try. Look at the difference between Paulinho, now at least fitting in, where before he was utterly hopeless.
Dembele had a good game last night, but his last good one was against Sunderland which he followed up with a poor game at home. Who should stay and who should go will need to have been made by now because while we will benefit from players putting themselves in the shop window, there is no guarantee of those performances continuing after the winter transfer window shuts, if all parties have been unable to agree a deal.
You are then stuck with muddling through until the end of the season with some players up for it and some not, we have seen what happens then.
