I thought Wolves were after him?
Not seen that 'one' before... Only Everton.

I thought Wolves were after him?
I can't see how Toby could go for £30 million.The one thing that so many people are overlooking and that is Poch. If he wants you out then that means you are out.
This is Poch's team, all the stories about us looking for buyers for Toby, Rose have been consistent all summer. It means that he doesn't want them. The issues we are facing are a) No English team wants to buy them/can afford them (Utd clearly want Toby) b) With the European market still open past tomorrow they will be circling like vultures to take these two on.
It's possible that's why Utd haven't even made a bid yet, they think we will sell for a lot cheaper because no-one else has come in for him and if they are the only ones biding they are rubbing their hands until final day. But maybe we believe that a European Club will come in for him after tomorrow, we get get the same amount of money that Utd think they can pick Toby up for (on the cheap). So, if Utd low ball us and offer £30m, we might be confident of having say Juve offer the same for him, if this situation presents itself then no-way do we sell to Utd. This puts Utd in a hole, in effect they are also gambling that the other European clubs aren't interested in a World class CB that isn't wanted by his club.
Maybe it’s Daniel sonTwelve maybe, there's a demented window licker on The Spurs Show Facebook page who makes the happy clappers on here look positively suicidal in comparison
Yeah, maybe it was Everton ...Not seen that 'one' before... Only Everton.
The destination being Schalke is the odd thing here. Not the fact we're getting rid of Rose, we all expected it.
If it's a loan that we're happy to send Danny on - then I am AMAZED no one in England wants him on loan. What's in this for us?
Maybe a Courtous/Kovacic type deal? - Are we getting a Schalke player? Geis? Embolo?
I don't think we'll get a left back. Poch obviously see's Trippier and Aurier fighting it out for right back this year and KWP is too good to be 3rd choice right back, so he'll be Davies understudy this year as a way of getting much more minutes ahead of those that would have went to Rose.
He won a World Cup at U20 level playing at left back (slightly different level) and Poch has given him minutes at left back in pre-season over right back, so it's clearly the plan. Otherwise we'd just keep Rose and send KWP out on loan.
You're probably not wrong saying that, and I would have been completely up for replacing/upgrading him earlier in the window, but forcing him out the door now with seemingly no replacement lined up would be stupidity beyond imagination...Simple answer. Traitor, rotten egg and not as good as he was.
Yep. How the fuck is that meant to help us?
Dembele will probably go out on loan as well to a club abroad.
Levy determined to undo all the good work of recent years. Thanks mate.

Doubt if its just a loan, most likely to have a mandatory buy clause in - helps Shalke out by deferring the payment.
We do have KWP who could play LB as you say plus one or two youngsters although I would have thought Poch would have played the youngsters in pre-season if he was planning to help provide cover at LB for the first team.
Don't think it's any closer to his ma.You can just see Rose Googling 'Shalke' as we speak..
Poch wants rid of Rose - Levy is just doing what he's asked
Rules are max 17 non homegrown and up to 8 homegrown, the reason we need homegrown is for the full 25 senior squadI know it's been done to death but regarding HG - if we do get rid of Rose, does that mean we need to get someone in? If so, just the one? or two?
I pulled the figure out of the air. Just trying to make the point why they haven't even put a bid in for their top target, ask the question why would this be. We should know the answer because this is what we do. They 100% know that he's for sale, they also know by know that he would sign for them, they believe they are in a strong position because no-one else wants him.I can't see how Toby could go for £30 million.
Even if he stays for a year and we exercise the option in his contract for the extra year the release is supposed to be £25 million, to let him go without a replacement for 5 million more doesn't make sense.
How Levy or Pochettino can think this fcuking nonsense of an end, during and start to this transfer window, is positive I really don't know.
Neither man can hold their head up that's for sure.
Rose leaving with a decent replacement is good for me, rose leaving without anyone in it’s just banter.I know I'm going to be in a minority of one here, but I'm not that fussed if Danny Rose moves on to be honest.
