Jesus, Rose return unknown and we're selling the other best full back in the league.

In my book, for what it's worth, out until next season means he won't be playing again this season. It does not necessarily mean he will not be playing before next season starts. Let's just chill and see what the club say after the Op. .... if they do. I would have thought Danny R would tweet something afterwards even if the club don't.

Sky reported that the operation was 'successful' at least. Not sure what that means as it was exploratory.

Hope he comes back with the same athleticism, knee injuries can fuck players up good and proper.

Didn't he have a bad knee injury not long after he joined us? Seem to remember him being out for a long time, he was still a youth player then. Hope it's not the same knee.

At least we have a knee expert on the staff.
Step up Ledley the King.
Or hop up at least.
Fill up the swimming pool Daniel.

Interesting stuff. Full interview here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0543skq and a summary article on the Beeb here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40066687

Full-back Danny Rose says "one marquee signing" this summer could help Tottenham claim silverware next season.

Spurs were Premier League runners-up this term and lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals. They also went out in the Champions League group stages.

But Rose says a big name could enable them to "push forward" and win a first trophy since 2008.

"We have to do a lot better. We just hope we can win some silverware," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Friday Social.

In a wide-ranging interview, Rose also said that:

  • That he expects captain Harry Kane to stay and try and break records
  • But that some players 'might fancy a change' or feel Spurs are a 'nearly club'
  • Spurs need to add depth as well as quality to their squad
  • And that he thought he would never break through under Harry Redknapp
'A player might feel he has done enough'
Rose, 26, is one of a number of Spurs players to have been linked with a move this summer, with Kane, Kyle Walker and Dele Alli also the subject of speculation.

Earlier this month, manager Mauricio Pochettino said the club cannot compete with the Premier League's biggest clubs on wages.

But left-back Rose said that money might not be the only factor when it comes to the future of Spurs' stars.

"I was told a few months ago these next two or three windows are going to be the ones where full-backs are going to go for a lot of money so we'll see," he said.

"There is only so much the club can do; a lot of it has got to be down to the individual.

"Someone like Harry Kane, I can tell you that his mindset will be 'I'm staying at Tottenham, I'm going to break every single record, I'm going to captain this club into the new stadium' so when you've got a player like him with that mindset I don't think Tottenham have to worry.

"But it depends where the individual is in the stage of his career. He might feel he has done enough at Tottenham and might fancy a change or might feel Tottenham is the nearly club that nearly wins the league and might choose to move on.

"The club can only try and make a player see that they are going in the right direction and 'if you stick with us it won't be long before we are winning something'."

'Imagine if Alli or Eriksen got injured'

Rose has not played since the end of January because of a knee injury, but his absence is one of the few that the north London side suffered this term.

Eight players made at least 30 Premier League starts, with influential midfielders Alli and Christian Eriksen starting 36 and 35 games respectively.

But England international Rose admits such consistency of selection is unusual and that Spurs need to invest before a season playing home games at Wembley.

"We could have a better squad in terms of depth," he said. "Thankfully Dele doesn't really get any injuries but just imagine if that happened or someone like Christian got injured."

Pochettino v Redknapp

Rose is the longest-serving player in the Tottenham squad, having joined the club from Leeds in 2007.

He scored a spectacular 35-yard volley on his league debut against Arsenal in 2010 but struggled to establish himself under both Redknapp and Andre Villas-Boas.

Asked about Pochettino, who has been in charge at White Hart Lane since the summer of 2014, Rose said: "I wish he was my manager from when I was 18.

"Working under Harry was difficult and I sort of gave up thinking I could play for Tottenham week-in, week-out.

"The kids don't realise how lucky they are to have a manager like the one we've got now. If I was one of them I'd be rubbing my hands together - as a young kid it's the best time to be playing for Tottenham.

"Whenever we go through a difficult moment he doesn't want us to panic, he studies the game all day and night and fully trusts us to cope with whatever he asks of us."

His comments are very interesting but will be spun in a negative way in the media. It will put unnecessary pressure on us I think.

From listening to a clip of the interview (haven't listened to the whole programme yet), the tone of his voice seems to suggest he's talking about Walker rather than Walker and himself when he brings up individual players having their own reasons for potentially wanting to move on, albeit it's far from clear cut and he could just as much be offering a guarded insight into his own current thoughts.

What seems pretty unambiguous [disclaimer: in black-and-white only, as I'm only going by the transcript rather than the audio for this part] is that he is concerned about our squad depth, to the point where he's literally saying exactly that. The comments about "imagine if Dele/Eriksen got injured" also seem quite telling: seems to me like he's throwing a big gauntlet down at the Club's door with these comments and won't be happy if we don't address significantly improving our bench for next season.

However, on the flip-side, he also is clearly head-over-heels for Pochettino, and as long as Poch is at the club then I imagine he'd be very reluctant to leave unless we didn't make satisfactory strides in the transfer market.

Overall I think it's a pretty positive interview (certainly the Kane comments warm the cockles!), but it's just great to hear a footballer talking honestly without resorting to a whole bunch of meaningless cliches.
