Danny Rose

We have such a shite view on playing youth, constantly hearing, nah too soon, not big enough, we need competition, top quality players yet year after year we're playing AVERAGE players when a youth player could at least be given that opportunity. Hector Bellerin is a great example, Arsenal fobbed off an aging Sagna, replaced with Debuchy and brought in Bellerin as back up, now he's the number 1. The utter dross we've seen this season and yet only seen ONE youth player, Utd have featured, what, around 6? and are ahead of us. Not. Saying that's the reason why they are ahead but it totally refutes the bollocks some people come away with. Angelino is good enough to be given an opportunity as back up LB.

The youth players only featured for the rags as they had no fit defenders, not many are given opportunities now and I expect none will be next season.
It's the price clubs pay if they want top 4 and CL football.
 
The problem is neither Clichy or Kolarov are good enough. Clichy stays based on him counting as homegrown.

As for Danny Rose, he isn't the answer. Average defender and average going forward, being quick doesn't necessarily make you any good! Either we buy a top quality left back which pushes Clichy to 2nd choice and Kolarov out of the door or we sell Kolarov and give Angelino a shot.

It would be crazy to waste yet more money on another player that pads out the squad yet doesn't actually improve the starting XI, we've done this for the last 4 years and look where it has got us.
 
Got to be a bull shit story ! Danny Rose, seriously ?

HG or not, he`s absolutely bang average. Surprised he even gets in the Spurs starting 11.

He's not even that good. he is absolute shit. Take the worst traits of Kolarov and Clichy and combine them and you have Danny Rose who once scored a belting goal in a North London Derby.
 
Would be a waste of money.

Garbutt is free if we're looking for an English leftback, and has turned in some decent performances in the Europa League for Everton. Couldn't be worse than Kolarov.

Ben Chilwell looked accomplished for Leicester u18s last week; stronger, more complete defender than Angelino, who's more of a wingback and in senior football will likely become more effective as an orthodox winger.
 
Some of our rumoured targets are very impressive. But some, like this, are genuinely terrifying and would doom us to Europa League level if they comprised the majority of our buys. A Spurs fan told me: "Please take him, he can't defend or attack."

Please... buy elite talent only and if we run out of money, fill the squad with our OWN youth players like Angelino.

Surely the plan next season will be to be a better first choice left back than either Clichy or Kolarov. Then sell Kolarov and send Angelino on loan and if he impresses he comes back to compete the following season.

Of course these things rarely run as smooth as we want them to.
