He really suffers from this rotation policy at fullback. When he gets a run of games hes much more solid and tactically better than rose. Rose has shot his mouth off more than once aswell
Rose offers nothing in attack despite all his endeavors, and for me Davies is a more stable player.
I like both and would happily just stick with them for now rather than bring in anyone else.
But yeah, Rose is not exactly overly committed
 
Dennis Irwin type player possibly undervalued by fans but appreciated by management! As said does his job no fuss no paper talk gets on with it. Wonder if this has a knock on affect of the “possible “ Sessegnon deal.
I think the club is thinking about continuity. Sessegnon would not be for now if he comes, he would be for 2 years from now.
Foyth, Sanchez, Clarke ... same story. Put in place a core group that can seamlessly take over as the current first team fade out.
 

Anyone seen any further detail about Ben's comeback?

...If all goes as expected we'd be wanting him to start against Villa in a couple of weeks.

Been training at Hotspur way. You’d think he should be rejoining the main group now they are back from the tour.

Really need him to get some game minutes under his belt in the Audi cup
 
He was interviewed after the Wales game during which Poch's departure was announced.
Said Poch would move onto bigger better things etc.
Unfortunate choice of words but the kind of thing many would say about their boss in another situation if they liked them.
Really don't think he meant to diss the club/fans although the powers-that-be possibly (and if he was it really wouldn't say much about his ambition would it?!)
I agree. But still, not exactly endearing yourself t o the fan base ,eh?
 
I can only imagine what you'd want to do to the club captain if he ever got done for drink driving, said he wanted to leave the club and couldn't jump properly.

Drink driving - let the police and the courts deal with that

Wanting to leave - if he's a good player, I would be disappointed but would only really, really resent him for it if he went to Woolwich

Couldn't jump properly - then it wouldn't bother me at all if he wanted to leave.

But when a player is giving an interview, I would expect him to engage his brain before opening his mouth and avoid making comments that belittle his club.
 
You only need to hear Dele's interview on the radio earlier today that these players appreciated Poch as a human being as well as a manager. That they're very grateful because of the time he invested to develop them.

It's not often a manager gets the boot and his players pay tribute but that's the relationship Poch had. Davies's comment is not malicious and for the matter neither is Danny Rose when he brings up the stick he got from fans before Poch arrived.

I've made the distinction between the point being made to me in the previous post and the comment Davies made.

It's a totally different situation so double standards doesn't come into it.

Your reasoning is 'gymnastic' and lame; hense the accusation of double standard was made.

Seriously.... It's nothing; let it go.
 
You're not this dumb disingenuous surely?

Your FULL comments on the matter:

"Drink driving - let the police and the courts deal with that

Wanting to leave - if he's a good player, I would be disappointed but would only really, really resent him for it if he went to Woolwich

Yes...

And?

Where am I bending over backwards to excuse him??
 
I said the police should deal with drink driving.

And why?

Because it's a criminal offence.
Do you think the police should not get involved when a crime has been committed??Just stay out of it altogether, perhaps?

I said I would be disappointed if ANY good player wanted to leave the club but wouldn't resent them for it unless they went to Woolwich.

That's a general point, not just about one particular player, and not an unreasonable one either.

I said if a player can't jump then I wouldn't be bothered if he wanted to leave.
And that's because if he can't jump then he wouldn't be very good, would he?

If you somehow think that is me bending over backwards every step of the way to excuse Hugo Lloris then you're a moron.
