Again ? Since when Shaw was the best LB in the league ?
Season 13-14, his fellow pros voted him the best left back in the league. He was in the official Premier League team of the year.
Again ? Since when Shaw was the best LB in the league ?
Spurs seem to be in no sort of angst about Rose so shouldnt that tell us something,if he is not good enough for Spurs then for the life of me I cannot see why we should be interested!!
Well, Bertrand will be 29 when he joins which means we will be in the market for another LB in 2years when he declines and he will have no resale value.For some weird reason this place has a hard on for buying injury probe players. Rose and Bale both great both too injury probe for the money they would cost. I think a safe bet is Bertrand he is an improvement on what we got and would not cost as much as Rose.
He didn't have a semi decent season. He was the best LB in the league before he got injured.
Indeed, he was voted the best LB by the PFA for two seasons running: last season and the one before.
Spurs will be very happy for him to stay ... but if he really wants to move back north, and if sign Sessegnon and are offered a good price for Rose, then ...
That time when he was selected in the PFA team of the year. http://www.eurosport.com/football/p...-united-players-absent_sto4229117/story.shtmlAgain ? Since when Shaw was the best LB in the league ?
I'd rather see us buy Tierney if I'm being honest. That lad has the hallmarks of being an excellent player. He is already very good, quick, strong, tough, great defending and on the front foot and would have the mentality that suits Jose / being at United. As he is young we would have him for a quite a while possibly too.
no daddy issues on this one?
Strong option?
Him being sold in January was ruled out as soon as he played in the CL imo.Rose starts for Spurs tonight (just as he did away to Dortmund) ... so any suggestion that he's being ushered towards the exit door in January looks a bit shaky IMO.
Pochettino is rotating between him and Davies on the left, just as he's rotating between Trippier and Aurier on the right.

No I get what strong option is but I was just a little shocked that people think he is a strong option. Guess you could put me in the category of thinking he is vastly overated. He’s obviously a decent standard of FB but at the money spoken about it’s just mental. He’s had a season and a half where he’s looked good, but nothing suggests he is the player to improve on our LB position. I feel like Spurs is his level and he had a purple patch of form but I’d rather take a cheese grater to my nut sack than see the club spend 50 mil on him when we have a better option sitting on our bench(If only the little fecker could stay fit)Not sure if English isn't your first language, but by strong, I meant "good", rather than it being literal about his strength

Do you watch him a lot? It seems he's very highly rated in here but he's playing in scottish league. From your description he's a proper full back but what about his ability as wingback? How good his crossing is? What about his dribble? First touch? passings? Work rate? Anything special about him when going forward?
Yea man I get to see him play nearly every week. My dad and brother have an affinity for Celtic and as I live in Glasgow I watch them with them. He is a very impressive player.
I understand because he plays in the Scottish league people might be skeptical, but I think he is the real deal. When he plays in Europe for Celtic or for Scotland he is one of the few players than genuinely looks class. The defensive side he has got tied down, so no worries there.
Going forward he is excellent too. He is very quick, which obviously helps on the backfoot too. He’s very intelligent on the ball, so he knows when to just keep the ball, when to release a man, and he doesn’t just run in a straight line, he actually thinks about where is going with the ball, and tries to exploit gaps and opportunities down the flank. His crossing is very good, as he knocks up some assists and scores a few goals a season too. He could play LB,LWB or even LW in my opinion, he’s got that much potential and ability. Also, I know he’s only playing in Scotland but he’s playing for Celtic, in front of 60,000 fans every week where the demands are high and the fans expect great football and the highest quality, and in Europe he doesn’t look out of place at all. He would have the exact mentality required to make it at United. He already has a very good base of skills and he would become even better here.
Went on and on a bit there apologies but I think he’s an excellent player already, who would fully fulfill his potential with us and be even better.
I'd rather get ripped off by Juve for Alex Sandro than deal with Levy and get ripped off for a barely above average Rose.
Ashley Young is currently performing at the same level Danny Rose did last season and the season before. That was the case even before the Watford match. As things stand, Young's output is superior, though it will be interesting to see if Young can sustain this level.
Rose 2016/7 2 goals and 3 assists in 18 PL starts, 1533 mins, pass completion 79%, 1.47 interceptions per 90 mins, 1.47 successful take-ons per 90 mins, 0.06 defensive errors per 90 mins
Rose 2015/6 1 goal and 4 assists in 24 PL starts, 2132 mins, pass completion 76%, 1.65 interceptions per 90 mins, 1.18 successful take-ons per 90 mins, 0.04 defensive errors per 90 mins
Young 2017/8 2 goals and 3 assists in 10 PL starts, 888 mins, pass completion 76%, 2.03 interceptions per 90 mins, 1.62 successful take-ons per 90 mins, 0 defensive errors per 90 mins
Spurs won 16 of the 20 PL games Rose missed last season. The season before, they did appear to miss him when he wasn't on the pitch, winning 6, drawing 4 and losing 4.
What does Danny Rose do better than Ashley Young ? What does Danny Rose give you extra to justify a £40m+ transfer fee ? Is it simply an age thing ? Consistency as a left-back over a longer period of time ?
Danny Rose clearly offers a lot more attacking threat than Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and especially Matteo Darmian, though I suspect he may not be as good defensively as some of them.

I would be very happy if United added a Scotsman or another Englishman (Rose) to the first XI.
Rose is quality. Tierney sounds an exciting prospect.
I would be over the moon to see another Scotsman make it into the United first XI. He is very exciting, and I would love to see him given the chance to make it here.
We should go for Kierney ahead of Rose. If we don't you just know Spurs will buy Kierney for a pittance after fleecing us for Rose, and we'll end up looking like mugs in a year or two.
Mirror saying Spurs are willing to sell Rose in January for £50m:
He'd be a great signing for the winter window, but no chance I want us to spend even close to £50m for him, given that he's not even first teamer anymore, his recent injury record and his lack of desire to stay at Spurs long term. £35m/£40m is a fair deal for all parties imo.
