I've noticed a lot of you are taking the 2nd of Sept off work for 'deadline day', it's really because it's my birthday isn't it? Are you throwing me a suprise party??

Apparently he was available (is?) on a free and Newcastle had him all wrapped up and Kinnear canceled the deal because he had never heard of him.A Dutch friend thinks we should go for a guy called Douglas who plays in Holland and is Brazilian, never heard of him, any good?
Should we get Crouchy back then because his International goal ratio is pretty good...?
Do you know how many of his caps were playing right back for England? If you do then we could do more of a fair comparison to Walker.
The funniest thing about Richards was when he played for England at 18. His main selling point according to the commentator was that he was 'fast enough to recover from his mistakes.' He is an athlete, but his all round footballing brain is non-existant, he's everything that BC says about Kyle Walker, only with Richards it's actually true.
You've bloody ruined it now. And we all put in so much hard work.

Yep we can really see Liverpool replacing Enrique with Rose.This is a massive exaggeration. If we were this harsh on all of our young prospects none of them would ever break into the first team.
Yes, Sunderland were shit last season, but that doesn't make all of their players shit. Newcastle were equally dire, and they've got some brilliant players on their books. Rose was one of the few shining lights in an otherwise terrible team, and your reaction to that is essentially "it doesn't matter cos the rest of the team are shit"?. What does the lad need to do in your eyes? Drag the team to the top half with his barnstorming runs from LB? Maybe you didn't see him play, but on the few occasions I did he looked miles better than he did when he was last in a Spurs shirt: he's quick, tenacious, and, while far from great, showed he's got the qualities to make it at the top level. Based on BAE's form last season, to say that he's 100 times better is pure, unadulterated horse shit.
Now don't get be wrong, we'd be stupid to promote Rose to the first team straight away, but I think rotating him with BAE/another experienced LB makes perfect sense. We need to nurture the few prospects we have rather than writing them off based upon a couple of poor performances from a couple of years ago.
Oh, and it's worth noting that several journos have reported Liverpool have shown an interest in him.
Not to mention his worryingly persistent knee and ankle problems. Oh, and as far as I'm aware there has been absolutely no ITK linking us to him, a fact that A&C will doubtless point out at some juncture.

Your first paragraph sums it up for me. You say I'm being harsh and not many of our young prospects would ever get a chance. Reality check! That's because 95% aren't good enough to be playing for a top prem league team. Ledley King, Sol Scumball. How many other quality youth players have we blooded through. The same goes for Livermore! Not good enough for any top prem team. Don't get me wrong because I don't rate BAE but Danny Rose is not the answer to Left back. If we want to progress then we buy another quality left back and use BAE as cover.
Walker ha always been a defender! Danny rose is playing left back because he's not good enough to play left wing. I understand what you're saying an maybe he does deserve some football at spurs. But IMO he would weaken our current team.I'm not saying we need to give every prospect a run in the first team, but when a player impresses on loan why should our default reaction be to sell him because he's not good enough? I agree with you on Livermore, but he's shown over the course of 2 seasons that he's not good enough- Rose on the other hand has gone out on loan and impressed, much like Walker did (for a terrible Villa side, might I add), but you want to write him off. I don't get it.
It's ok, I can still act suprised but in my defence, I don't think anyone has done any hard work since they registered on here
I just hope I I don't get cancelled while on the table (I.e. die).Good luck with the surgery, Gs... Hopefully you don't get it cancelled 2 days before it's due, like I did ..
