But if we were selling Davies and keeping Rose, you'd be bigging up the merits of Danny Rose over Ben Davies.
And please don't waste everyone's time on here denying it.

And please don't waste everyone's time on here denying it.
Poch likes players who can play in several positions.
That's one of the reasons why Lo Celso is coming - he can play in any of the 3 AM positions plus as CM........and doesn't have the dodgy knee which had caused Fekir to have few top club suitors this time round. Shame as a Fekir with 2 sound knees would be a decent player

. I've been too busy in the toilet with a few other notable members to actively participate up till now.But I just noticed your yellow card!
Probably the last person I ever expected to get one.
Wtf is this all about mate?
We've got two players in, beats the shit out of the last two transfer window threads
Spurs want a loan with sn option to buy - otherwise we are just training up a big clubs players for free.
The effect is like Lo Celso loaned from PSG with an optiion to buy which was exercised by Real Betis as regular playing by the Betis coaches had increased his value.
Real Madrid do not want to give Spurs the option ,to buy so Spurs not interested in just loaning Ceballos.
Ceballos deal is tied up with the sale of Eriksen to Madrid, if Eriksen stays we do not need Ceballos anyway.
Atm Madrid are not interested in signing Eriksen ( or Pogba) so we will see if they come back, or whether Eriksen stays and signs a new contrsct
I realise that, but the guy I responded to didn't specify; just said these guys weren't good enough to be regular starters in a top team.
Dier:
15/16 = 37 league starts (+ 13 cups) > 3rd place
16/17 = 34 league starts (+ 12 cups) > 2nd place
17/18 = 31 league starts (+ 12 cups) > 3rd place
Hmmmm... Minutes is NOT the argument at hand.
Davies:
16/17 = 23 league starts (+ 11 cup) > 2nd place
17/18 = 29 league starts (+ 9 cup) > 3rd place
Somewhat mistaken on my part in terms of what year was what, but more than I thought overall.... Majority of league games for TWO seasons in fact.
I'll take your word for it that he faded a little towards the end of 17/18... Players often do towards the end of a season... (The more athletic Walker was getting rested every other game by comparison!)
Over-arching point: How the fuck do we get those finishes with 2 out of 11 regular starters (allegedly) nowhere near good enough?
Maybe they were the difference between 2nd and 1st
LOL... Try fucking harder... MUCH harder.
Ben got roasted away vs the Dippers once and some cunts have never forgiven him.
When Saliba eventually plays at the modern day library and compares the cold eerie silence of the Woolwich gathering to the stentorian roar of the Tottenham faithful
There will be no doubt left
We will all witness the face that will say it all
I fucked up

I'd swap Fekir with one knee for a couple of our AM's.
Not at all...
I actually think Danny is marginally better (when we're a full on pressing monster), much like I thought KW was more effective than KT...
AWKWARD!!!
My stance on Ben (that he's "GOOD ENOUGH") pre-dates any rumours of Rose being sold... I've been a big fan for years. MY posting history will back this up.
...How about you just don't waste my time, PERIOD.

Yes agree with most of that
Tripps had a mare of a season but good luck to the lad although I don’t think Simeone will be as forgiving as Poch
Not seen him play but was bang average in his highlights reel. Not fussed myself
I know it isn’t but I still stand by what I said
Did you answer Cretinous Goats question btw?
Let's be honest. Rose was always - CLEARLY - the superior player of the two. That however, does not mean he was the best fit for us. He is a whiny person and always complaining, crying to the press, making demands and sulking about.
It's better if he leaves since he obviously wants to fuck off, but we should aim to IMPROVE when players move on, not at best remain constant or at worst - regress.

Certainly swap him for the ever injured Lamela and I'd even add in N'Koudou to make up 2 AMs.
Have you sent the contract to Fekir to sign it shall I ?
Mason was way better than a Championship player. Your attitude towards a player who gave his best for us stinks.

One of footballs omnipresent questions.
How did Leicester win the league with Simpson and Fuchs as FB's? Chelsea with Moses as a RWB?
Davies is certainly no less viable than Rose, but that says as much about the vastly overrated Rose as it does Davies who is a solid but pretty ordinary LB. We were helped in 16/17 by having less Dier plodding about midfield and playing where he is better as a CB, with better players in midfield.
Good coaching, good tactical application, some talented team mates, all of the above.....
Penis envy of financially doped clubs and bragging rights at school on a Monday morning is all that computes with some fuckers, mate.
