That would be a decent deal
Player watch: Danny Rose
- Thread starter Dharmabum
- Start date
Im not a fan of selling Rose at all. Think its a daft move. Davies is not good enough to start for a top 4 side. Sessegnon is not an LB(and thats not even done). Vertonghen is only an emergency LB.
At RB, selling Trippier is already an upgrade, IMO. He's just not good enough. We should buy someone but im okay with Aurier and KWP(if Foyth is moved to RB, i'd be fuming though. He's a CB. Not an RB. We have 2 RB's in the squad. No need for a makeshift).

Really beginning to look like we need to start thinking of the coming season as a transitional period. I just hope that we can actually get all the business we need done so that the transition can actually take place. It'd be horrible to go into the season with a number of gaps unfilled, then face the prospect of having to blood a number of new players again next season. We've got the money so we need to get the business done.
Does seem a little bizarre that we’d allow Trippier and Rose to leave without anyone coming in - I suppose we have to tryst that as the club seem to have kept their respective potential exits quiet until now, maybe their replacements are being kept equally quiet?!

He’s 29 , good for both parties , probably wants to go back up north , also the right age for spurs to move him on , with spurs getting a good price in the mix . Shame always like him . Good luck to him , good servant , done well for spurs over the years .

Bullshit, Davies has started regularly enough for us over the last 4 years when we have been 3,2,3,4 especially in the season Rose was injured for a lot of the time which indecently the season we finished 2 btw

The whole situation worries me.
Only a few seasons ago we had the best back 4 in the league. It got broken up and we haven't seemed to try and rectify that knowing the situations with Rose (homesick, possibly open to moving north etc), Trippier (poor season from the very start of last season), Davies (good but not that good), KWP (does Poch really believe in him) and Aurier (mix of injuries and inconstant form since arrival).
The Rose thing isn't a surprise. I just hope we had a plan all along.

I’ve finally worked out the new formation Herc was talking about, its clearly 4 centrebacks Foyth and Davies right and left back

Team playing well and using a player well makes players look good. The opposite makes players look bad.
Poch doesn't teach players how to kick a ball.

C’mon Donald, not sure people are against Davies because he’s white.

Football manager
With Rose now getting closer to 30 and his injuries, think we will look to cash in on him and replace with someone younger and more pace on the wing. Expect to do this at RB also.
Unless Poch has someone other than Sessegnon lined up it’s too drastic for me and maybe should have waited till next summer.
Sessegnon may long-term be the answer but I don’t recall him playing left back much at all with Fulham last season and even with u21s (although Boothroyd in charge so maybe not best example) has was against playing in attacking three behind the centre forward.
