Rose was never going to be here long term after what he said in that Sun interview, he is incredibly lucky that he ever got to play another game for Tottenham after that.
We've been trying to flog Rose for two years, he has a big head and his body is creaking, it's time to let him go.
Dogmatic bullshit.
1) He was in the lineup right after his knee injury was over (after this Sun interview). Also it was 2 years ago now... just sayin.
2) There was also absolutely no indication that club would have been actively trying to sell him last summer.
3) And "body creaking" - he had one major injury during last season. Kane had multiple - would you flag him off as well (okay, well Dier is better example, we all know that Kane was intentionally over the top comparsion - Dier played 600 mins less than Rose last season).
----------------------
I mean, don't get me wrong I have never been a huge fan of Rose - he has often been quite erratic and shown some glimpses of headless chicken in early days.
After the Sun interview I wanted him off ASAP. And I was sure he was out. I even bet one of my mates that he will never play a single game for us anymore.
But I was proven wrong. And in the tail end of last season he played a lot and he played well. And he fought on the pitch. This effect was most likely aplified by weak season of Davies, but still.
If we want to achieve good results we have to keep our best players. Selling Rose and replacing him with Sessegnon would be a step back. I am not against bringing in Sessegnon per se. But he would need time to fit in, and when he outplays Rose - kudos to him, time to let Rose go. But not pre-emptively. This is a small club (also look at -Southampton model) model - replacing proven player with youngster only based on hope.
