I wouldn't believe all you watch on sky or read in the papers. Rose has been a brilliant player for Spurs and I would hate to lose our longest serving player BUT if the right price comes along and an equal or better playerat a younger age comes along to replace him, we will sell, its the way Spurs do things, they run it as a business.

Can't wait to see Rose starting at LB against AV and all the melts who've been trying to chase him out the club for 3 years have to settle in for another 9 months of constantly scanning the feed to have a moan at every word he speaks in public.
what about us non melting people who simply don't recognise him as the player you believe him to be?
Maybe you just don't understand his limits and liabilities
That ever crossed your mind?
What I’ve seen on the pitch is a player who has improved in the second half of the season but not a midfielder imv
His touch is fucking brutal, can't control his mouth or a football.
Agree with a lot of this, especially at the time of the Sun interview, couldn't see a way back for him. However I do think he redeemed himself quite a bit by his performances on the pitch, in my eyes he showed a bit of oomph (not sure of the technical term!), which was missing when he first came back.
We will see what his performance and attitude will be once the season starts, but I have a feeling Ben will be given more starts. Time will tell.
I would imagine that any opposition would be much happier having Ben run at them rather than Danny
I don't get all the Danny hate. He's the best option we have at LB. He always plays his ass off. He said some dumb shit to the press. Get over it.
I've covered this ground before - we can't reliably replace his production, whatever you think of it, in the current market for the fee we can get from selling. Furthermore, if we do view Sessegnon as our desired long term replacement then there's quite literally no better fit for Sessegnon to learn from.
Is he at the level he once was? No. Is he the best LB in the squad? Arguably. Is he the most dynamic defender we have? Yes. Did he look like the only player at many crucial moments at the close of last season who seemed concerned about the result? Often times.
He ain't a DM bruvI'm confused...but...ok?
I admittedly drank a lot since the close of season. Have we signed another Danny Rose to play midfield? Has Poch announced that we'll be forgoing fullbacks from now on?
This situation seems pretty clear to me.
He’s 29 and only likely to be offered a 1 year contract extension next summer - if that.
The club has been touting him as a player they would sell and let him speak to other clubs with our full permission last summer.
He says this is the case. What’s the problem there??
To buy a new left back you would now expect him to be sold as Ben has just signed a new contract and is 3 years younger. In line with the club policy. As he states.
I really don’t get the issue with him telling itkike it is.
He might be here. He might not. It’s out of his hands.

Really, his production hasn't exactly been prolific or bountiful (goals - 10 in 200 games) so what will he teach sessegnon?
Certainly not the art of defending. Davies defends better than he does.
But he's a busy and passionate player so folk think he's mustard.
if the rumours of the MF recruits come to fruition, then we wont need him for his attacking wing back play, and he hardly qualifies as a top notch crosser or provider.
I don't give a shit about his publicised views, just what he brings to the party, and if we get Sessegnon, we won't need him, so I say we should sell him whilst he has some value.
I'm fine with the club listening to offers for Rose as a desire to cash in on him while he's still got a few years left, but who's the young stud we're going to bring in to replace him? I have a hard time believing Sessegnon is ever going to cut it at LB....seems like he's a winger when all is said and done.
I hope he was offered a new contract to be an important rotation player. I think if Davies is our best LB, it's a position of weakness for us.
