Blue spur, where did you hear that? Why do we need 3 left backs? Isn't Benni still on our books? This is getting to be yet another joke transfer window!

Pochettino see's him everyday in training & if he thinks he's worth keeping & Rose is willing to fight for his place, then you have to trust Pochettino's judgement as he knows him far better than any of us.
What's the worst that can happen, he's back up for a year & doesn't work out & is sold. If Pochettino want's to give him a chance to prove himself & thinks he can improve Rose as a player, I've no problem with it.

Davo, it's on the spurs official site.
Espur, I think your probably right, you never know poch may try him a bit further up the field, as we've also got Zeki Fryers as back at lb

Espur - that's b0ll0cks. 36000 fans can't be wrong. Managers do get things wrong. I think your falling into the trap that poch is going to wave a magic wand & turn it all around with the players we already have. I personally don't think that's going to happen - I'm going to back him all the way but his managerial record isn't great to date.

Oh come off it DR-TH, I'm not falling into any trap, most fans are to busy shouting abuse at players nowadays to actually know what's going on the pitch. how can you concentrate on the game if your to busy abusing players. so yeah I would say a lot of fans are clueless & bandwagon jumpers, it's Pochettino's call it's his job not the fans, so it's his decision to make.

6.) 31 Jul 2014
I wasn't talking about abusing players I was talking about one individual what will Rose show in 5 years that he hasn't already.?
Obviously us fans don't pick the team, Poch does, all I'm saying I think that it's the wrong move.
And just for the record there is a hell of a lot of football supports that do know football. I'm a football fan.

DR-THFC,

Cool your jets, everyone is entitled to their opinion!

Back the manager, back out beloved.

We have not had a functioning team for some time now, we need to turn things around! We as supporters low out team and need to start and get behind them.


so COME ON YOU SPURS!!

Spot on - Sherwood included Rose in his gang of 'playing for the shirt' dependables however, we've all seen him defending woefully over a long period. That gang also had Dawson, Naughton, Kane, Bentaleb etc, with all due respect. Squad players at best, not the first XI we want.

danny rose shouldn't be allowed anywhere near LB position, and why would you play him LM when our squad is bursting to the seams with midfielders. We had 19 players on loan last year, we can't even sell players, let alone sign them. WTF is Dawson still doing at the club! Same old, same old.

10.) 01 Aug 2014
There is the point that the new contract increases his value. Maybe he's not in our long term plans after all.

I don't think we are out of order getting frustrated that some of our players just aren't good enough. I'm sure rose wouldn't get abused if he knew how to defend!

Read my comments fella. I've said I'm backing him all the way, I also have an opinion & I'm sorry but I just feel Rose has had his chance & so have other players, I agree with Simmo's list, if we need to progress as a team these players need to be moved on as well. It's the same in any walk of life if you don't cut it at your place of employment you get moved on. I've backed Spurs for over 42 years. I really do hope Poch does great, but giving Rose a 5 year contract is not what 90% of the paying fans want.!

Simmo, wouldn't really want them as squad players, no other team wants them so how can they be good enough for squad players . I suppose we could keep them registered and then tell them not to bother coming to work, that will keep our English contingent up!

To be fair to the lad Rose ain't a left back or didn't start out as one.

14.) 01 Aug 2014
That's true Spurski but we run a football club, not a newsagent . We don't need paperboys!

Davo, I was being diplomatic, ideally for me they wouldn't be in the squad. Realistically some may have to be but should only the bottom end, 3rd/4th choices.

16.) 02 Aug 2014
Agree with that, pay them to keep up the number of English players, Simmo
