k, enjoy reserves.

The problem is that he knows he is going and the club won't give him a new contract so he won't be giving 100% on the pitch. Best thing to do is sell him in January and get as much money now because the longer he is here his value decreases every month.

He literally says he won't leave.

If only that would happen

He literally says he won't leave.

Which in itself is a daft thing to say. Imagine a decent club come in for him - 3 year deal, £100k pw, £10m transfer fee......he’d say no would he? Course not. Just playing up to the press.

Look at Trippier, he had a host of clubs interested and ended up at a massive team in Atletico. Similar thing could happen.

It's starting to seem a bit like a slowly unravelling, systematic, financial mutiny against ENIC when so many players deliberately are running down their contracts. As if they've all met up off the record, and agreed to say to ENIC "OK, you've underpaid us for X years, the payback will be that we have decided to leave for nothing so you'll get naught for us, whilst we'll be pocketing a handsome sign-on fee from our next clubs to replace what you ought to have been paying us". It's like really the ultimate, systematic fuck you.

It's the fuck you-version of something I think we will see a lot more of in the not too distant future: Top players running their contracts down in return for huge sign-on fees as free agents when they move on. It'll be far more lucrative than huge five/six year contracts in the long run.

Re: Rose, I hope Sessegnon sees his easiest path to the first team and his long-term future is at LB. And if he does, and Poch does, then just start playing him there. We have nothing to lose any more (don't say relegation, not going to happen).

Rose has done a lot for us and been with us a long time but his injury robbed him of everything that was good about him.

But think about it in the context of Tottenham. There was a period in which they announced a new contract every week. We laughed about how other clubs would announce new signings, we would announce a new contract signing. And in that period, we had happy players who played good footie and came close to being in the race for winning premier league! Now we are hardly announcing contract extensions, apart from Sissoko, we have sad players playing bad footie and we stand to fetch nothing for half a team of senior players. This is structural mismanagement.

I see your point, but really what should the club have done about the players who didn't want to sign new contracts? Toby clearly (bafflingly) wasn't interesting enough for anyone to take a punt on him, Rose didn't want to go to Watford, Wanyama didn't want to go to the (unnamed?) club that was in for him.

Ultimately, players have all the power. They can refuse to move, and then you're stuck with them.

Yes, it's true. And when you are stuck with them, you can "play ball" and see how to keep them motivated. One player leaving for free, that happens. It's ok. One case of Alderweireld for instance. A bunch of players looking to run down their contracts, that's mismanagement.

I posted this the other week on a different thread but my mate who is well in at Watford told me that Rose was all agreed in the summer and at the last minute DL went from accepting a £14m offer to upping his valuation to £20m.
Watford declined so the deal fell over....

There was a line used back in the summer transfer window regarding the potential loan move for Danny Ceballos. The line was 'Levy doesn't want to fatten someone else's cow' or words to that effect. IMO, the current group of players who appear to want to run their contracts out are in effect cows being fattened for somebody else. They are using THFC as a shop window and we stand to gain nothing from that. There is of course the obvious situation that they're not exactly doing their prospects a lot of good, but that's really beside the point. IMO, once you state that you want out, you don't get to wear the shirt because there will definitely be somebody here who will want to wear it.

I think Danny Rose would know whether there were any bids for him last summer. He categorically says not in the article. He's a mercurial character, but nothing about his personality suggests a liar.

Rose probably starts next game. Uncle Poch is there for you.

Beat me to it, I just came on to say the same thing. Nailed on to start against West Ham

 

[lol]

And thats the way it should be. I would do thst. This is what happens when u underpay ur players. Its our karma

 

[Matthew]

he's such a miserable fucker isnt he, constantly moaning! how many people would give up everything they own to play football in the prem, and yet all he does is bitch and moan, maybe if he put as much effort into his game as he does bitching he'd rediscover his from. something tells me he wont though.
