Danny Rose

He's not good enough to start for us.

I can only imagine Clichy is being fucked off as well as Kolarov, perhaps because of some of his shithouse defending at times this season, perhaps the powers that be have decided his heart isn't in it?

Rose is all over the place though, no discipline whatsoever.
 
He's not Ashley Cole, but neither are the two we currently have in the squad and if you actually watch football this season with an open mind he's been one of the better leftbacks in the league.

Bet the eloquent 'he's shit' brigade would be all for signing Baba or some other projected name that 99% of us have never seen.
 
This guy isn't nearly the level of player we need, an overpriced English player who doesn't shine in a Spurs side that's 10 points south of us and that's in a season in which we've been largely abysmal.

Rose is no better, and in many aspects worse, than the two left backs we have already; his main talent appears to be that he's English. If we are that set on signing an English player, then the sort of guys we should be looking at are Natahnial Clyne, Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling or at a push as a 3rd/4th striker Charlie Austin. All of these would at least add something to our current squad.

However the biggest problem we have - as so many have pointed out - is that for the past 3 years we've largely bought squad players who have added very little, Fernandinho being the exception hence our best players now are still the ones we had when we won the league in 2011/12. Its glaringly obvious so seeing us linked to Danny Rose, Danny Ings and that overrated ponce Wilshere just indicates we are heading down the same track.

Id rather retain most of the squad we have, spend £75m on Pogba and have him as the only signing. We need top class players, not more bloody squad fillers. You are far better having 1 outstanding player, then 5-6 OK ones - see Liverpool FC in comparison in seasons 2013/14 and 2014/15 as a glaring example.
 
Left backs are possibly the most difficult players to find. You need to have a good left foot and pace alongside decent defensive skills and discipline. There are very few with all of these components and some don’t do anything other than prefer to kick with their left foot and defend to a reasonable level. Look at Shaw at the rags he is not the complete player by a long way yet they couldn’t find anyone better. Same with Baines, one of the better ones yet not a lot of pace and has quiet games.

Clichy has the pace but you could argue about the rest. Kolarov has the good left foot but definitely no pace and the rest comes and goes. Both come in and out of form although Kolarov is very inconsistent. Rose would not be any better or worse than what we have got, on the plus he is young and English so I can see why we are linked.
