itchen_dan Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-transfers-danny-rose-to-be-loaned-1242818 Tottenham are ready to send Team GB starlet Danny Rose out on loan – and Wigan and Southampton are battling for his signature. New Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has told the versatile left-back/midfielder that he must join another club if he wants first-team Premier League action this season. The 22-year-old is *interesting the Latics, who fear losing defender Maynor Figueroa. Southampton have also made an inquiry as they prepare for a return to the top flight. They will take Rose on loan if they fail to land any of the alternatives they are trying to land on permanent deals. Rose has managed only eight league starts in five years at Tottenham, who have already loaned him out to Watford, Peterborough and Bristol City.

Saint Charlie Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Personally don't rate Rose from the little I've seen of him but he has pace, and if we want him we clearly want more pace at full back. Not sure he is overall any better than Fox though. Obviously a this is only an enquiry, seems sure we want a left sided player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he is overall any better than Fox though. Obviously a this is only an enquiry, seems sure we want a left sided player though. I don't rate him at all. So much so that I think that given that his U21 and Olympics appearances are behind him, I reckon he'll be playing Championship football within 2 years. He hasn't got anywhere near Tottenham's first team and (13 first team games in 5 years) and, now 22, really doesn't have many games under him at all (and most of them at Championship level).

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 10 August, 2012 Share Posted 10 August, 2012 To be fair, we're in a better position than most to wait to bring new players in, in that we are unlikely to win 3 of our first 4 games regardless of who we sign! We can effectively write them off -as we would if they were spread over the season- and bed in new players in time for the first realistic run in. Obviously this does not mean we won't try to win the games, but let's face it any points at City and Arsenal away and United at home would be a bonus.

Flyer Posted 10 August, 2012 Share Posted 10 August, 2012 Anything in the Benfica rumours? Is Fabio nailed on for a starting position at LB while your interest in Richardson/Heinze could mean Traore is surplus to requirements? Fabio should be the RB and Traore the LB. I think/hope the Richardson/Heinze rumours were agents making noise and we only seem to be looking at CBs in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no denying that if he gets his head right then he is Prem quality. I think you're both right and wrong on this. On the one hand I think he should be given a chance, I've always thought he had potential (got nothing against strengthening in his position as well tho). However, I don't believe that he's prem quality without a doubt. I saw him play a few times for Blackpool and thought he was distinctly poor each time. While we're in the prem I imagine we'll be safe from his tantrums as he's where he wants to be and hopefully he'll step up to the plate. There will always be niggling doubts about his commitment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt he lacked an end product, much the same as Moses in many respects. I know a lot of Palace fans though and all of the ones I've talked to rate Zaha as a better prospect. I thought Moses improved a lot in the last half of last season. Looks like Chelsea did too. On balance taking into account the opinions of those who've watched them both much more than me I think Zaha would be worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
