Danny Rose

[Chimbo!]

If Danny Rose is giving that interview, I think that is incredible. And disrespectful. But that's also aggressive and cannot be tolerated. We cannot sell as a result of those tactics. Players have to be more discrete because that is so damaging to the entire football club. It's cynical to do that days before the start of the season.

I want to add that we all have ambitions, but you can't bring everyone else down like... Also it could be Sanchez or Coutinho. If so, same applies to them.

Though Sanchez is winning trophies at Arsenal so can't be him.

Also top 6? Too vague, should be top 2 if describing us .

Good job KWP can cover both flanks..........

At this rate he will need to cover both flanks at the same time

daniel Levy's reluctance to push spurs on to the next level is costing us.

selling walker to Citeh sent a message to all other clubs that they can buy our players, I know DL is going to see us through the new stadium build but i suspect that this will be with an eye to selling the club for a huge profit and an executive role at the club.

 

[monkeynick]

Did he technically cost us a million pounds or actually?

This, assuming it's is Rose, will have both Chelsea and Utd running to the press to release stories how they'd love him at the club, usual media leaks aimed at unsettling a player.
I not sure how much of an issue I believe it is. There was a raft of ITK over the last day or so about how settled Rose was, and how he will not be sold. Pre-empting this incoming aryvle?
Going forward, if it is Rose, how should we react? Keep him? Given his current injury situation, not unrealistic. Do we go get the signings we need/he wants to see, and all live happily? Or do we sell for an exorbitant price, knowing we have struggled to find a replacement RB, and left footers are even harder to find. One option would be to rinse Utd big time on a fee, and also demand Shaw, based on Poch's past with him.

Worryingly, after what has been our best season of the Premier League era, we are having our toughest summer to date. Yes, we were ahead of the majority of the pack, but to maintain that, and also improve to overtake Chelsea, we need to improve at the same rate as the others or quicker. So far, most teams around us are clearly identifying and addressing the areas they needed to in order to be better than last year. We need to do likewise.

Danny Rose is a strong character. He's proven this by changing the minds of most Spurs fans, in the days when we didn't consider him good enough for us and he was a target of the boo boys.

He's now one of my favourite players, in part for the commitment and determination he shows every time he puts the shirt on. But he's also a very good player, and would be more of a loss then Kyle Walker.

As Rose himself has said, Poch played a huge part in improving his game, and coaching him in how to play the FB role. The type of quality coaching he hadn't received under previous managers.

If - a big if - he is adamant he wants to go, and the relationship with Poch is damaged beyond repair, my preferred options would be:

1) put a £70 million price tag on his head, because he's under contract and that's what Chavski offered for Alex Sandro;

2) take out a case against Chavski for tapping him up after they failed to get Alex Sandro, and rinse them for some cash;

3) sell him abroad;

4) if we can't sell him abroad, sell him to manure for £50 million plus Luke Shaw.

But ideally, Danny Rose stays.

 

[Ben1]

if true, hes a tad stupid, but I totally understand it. Like most of us hes been building up and waiting for success, then we get real close, on the verge, only to spent the summer not buying and instead selling.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

If we'd done as he's imploring then he would never have had a chance in the first place and would be plying his trade in some backwater like Sunderland or Hull.

 

[Indisguise]

Is it really that surprising? Rose was treated like shit by a number of "fans" a couple of years back. Coupled with our blatantly obvious lack of ambition, he probably doesn't feel like he owes us as much some people think he does.

Could just as easily be Sanchez or Coutinho, my money would be on Sanchez

Sanchez would fit the bill for top six side ;-)

Seriously though, think it's Rose. Wish this transfer window would f**k off!

 

[stonebrow]

Well this place is a stark contrast to last nights jovial spirits!

 

[THFC_is_my_life]

This is the price we pay for consistently selling our best players and not reinvesting the money back into our playing staff. Nobody in any job is happy with mediocrity, and football is no different.

As a fan, this is absolutely sickening. We simply can't lost him and KW in the same window - that's 50% of the best defence in the league, and two of our only sources of true width and pace.

Can't see Poch taking that interview well, surely he'd have known his name would be leaked?

 

[Good Doctor M]

Few things are odd in the article...

"Top 6" club was a term used, which implicates Liverpool much more than us...

And "household name"... Not sure your call Danny Rose that.

Alternatively, I'm clutching at straws.

 

[Mr Pink]

Absolute fucking joke, finishing second and selling the best two full backs in the league, the envy of the league and the two positions that are crucial to the way we play under Pochettino.

Selling Walker was bad enough, but if this is true its going too far now.

Showing ambition? It's get embarrassing.

Fans have a threshold ffs.

 

[L-man]

It's okay, he's second choice behind Davies now isn't he?

That's what we kept telling ourselves re: Walker/ Trippier

 

[Ossie85]

Reading the article again it does say "superstar" & maybe it could be Sanchez or Coutinho.

Sanchez won trophies while at Barcelona. It's not him.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Suddenly The Goat's bleatings don't seem quite so outrageous.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Shows you the thought process of the modern day footballer, if it is Rose (yeah someone has said it is) which ever side you sit on, on Rose's point of view, it's fucking poor timing.

 

[Qwerdaa]

Could just as easily be Sanchez or Coutinho, my money would be on Sanchez

Sanchez has won something, this player clearly hasn't

 

[Spurrific]

Is it really that surprising? Rose was treated like shit by a number of "fans" a couple of years back. Coupled with our blatantly obvious lack of ambition, he probably doesn't feel like he owes us as much some people think he does.

Fans can't be blamed for this imo. Blame lies firmly at Levy's door.

 

[Wellspurs]

If the club want to make an example of a player with a new five year contract all supporters should back them.
We understand we can't compete with oil money etc but a stand should be made in this case.
