That wasn't ENIC's attitude toward White Hart Lane was it?
Happy? Im thrilled at the latest news regarding Poch's contract. Thought I'd made that pretty clear. What do you me to do, post some pics of me dancing round my workplace naked or something? Jeez!
I agree that it was a breathtaking back line, but it was the players themselves that upset the apple cart by agitating for a move. We will never again find ourselves in a situation where we have to let people go for nothing as they have been allowed to run their contract down - Daniel learns his lessons well.
IMO, you are doing a disservice to Trippier and Ben - they may not be as fluid as Walker and Rose, but they are not talentless cloggers. More importantly, they want to play for us and give their all when they do play.
Fucking hell. Are we about to see 3/4 of the best back line in England sold off in 12 months? Surely not. At what other top club would such decimation be allowed to happen?
I don't always agree with many things you say but this is actually a very, very, VERY good point.Fucking hell. Are we about to see 3/4 of the best back line in England sold off in 12 months? Surely not. At what other top club would such decimation be allowed to happen?

Yeah, it was only after I posted that I saw Mrs. P's post that they all wanted to go and not the club. In fairness though if you were to take 3 first choice defenders out of any team it would normally have an effect.On paper, it's indeed startling, but when considering the detail... Not so much.

Not so with us though with Jan stepping up, Sanchez looking to be a real star and Tripps and Davies doing a good job.
Yes. But what it does suggest is there must be something fundamentally wrong with our wage structure or something, that has led to the situation arising. If I Posted on here that by summer 2019 we will have sold Kane, Dele and Eriksen I'd be labelled a cunt or gooner and chucked in the bin.On paper, it's indeed startling, but when considering the detail...

And the same thing would have happened if 18 months I'd said the same thing about Danny, Toby and Walker. There's no point burying your head in the sand to try and justify it. It's a situation that rightly warrants debate and needs to be addressed

Destiny?
I don’t think Everton would pay 40m for Rose, but if they were to, would people accept that? I’d probably take that
100%
We will NEVER get that much for Rose again.
He is probably unlikely to ever sign a new deal with us (more that we are probably unlikely to offer him a new one). He's not getting any younger and we aren't strengthening a direct rival
2018 Danny Rose is sadly not on par with pre 2018 Danny Rose eitherWho’d we be replacing him with and how much would they cost?
My guess is that if said replacement is less than £40M he’d likely be a gamble (Tierney) or a downgrade (Bertrand).
I look around and don’t see many top class left backs - take the rest of the top 6: None of theirs bar the injured Mendy would be on par with Rose.
Think we should be very careful here (despite his BS last summer and two long injuries).
Tru dat2018 Danny Rose is sadly not on par with pre 2018 Danny Rose either
There are plenty of good left backs out there. Few with the same pure physical attributes of Rose. But plenty who offer a more rounded performance. Mendy at Lyon, Max at Augsburg or Tierny at Celtic to name a few.Tru dat
But who’s better who we’re likely to get?
