A player I really like
He is committed and tenacious. Always plays like He has something to prove. Was one of the most consistent performers vs Ajax playing with real desire. When on form a huge asset.
Not sure what he's like in the dressing room, he is outspoken so maybe he's a disruptive presence or may be he's a strong voice a leader a character!!??
His recent BBC interview on mental health he admitted to talking to a club last summer. So we were clearly prepared to let him go. He obvs didn't go.
He's 26. 2 years left on a contract signed in 2016 so probably not one of the big earners in the first team
Question is do we sell.him and cash in (£30-40m) or do we offer him new terms
We have a number of areas to improve. Do we really need to be changing RB and LB as well as potentially losing Toby.
Thoughts?

I bet that was Utd he was speaking to, sound like a Jose comment.

Very good player on his day and key in your CL semi final being the only player who performed very well in both legs.

I think there's a decent chance a lot of his "injuries" have been mental health breaks. He seems physically capable of playing twice in a week, but mentally I'm not so sure given his past comments about struggles with his mental health. That would also explain why sometimes he's seemed less committed or happy.
That said, he's too good a player to let go when Spurs are already facing the loss of Alderweireld and Eriksen. I agree with Philspurs - he'd be a good figure for Sessegnon to learn from, particularly given that Rose also made the transition from natural winger to converted full back.
I'm not convinced there's another player out there - let alone another homegrown one - for the same price who's as good. Digne, maybe, assuming Everton would sell, though obviously he's not homegrown. There's Tierney from Celtic though there's no guarantee he'd make the step up without teething issues. Chilwell would be way too expensive.
All in all, Rose should stay. 100%.

Stay 💯. I like him, and I think it's a mutually beneficial relationship now he seems to be over his health issues.

Should definitely keep him. 28 is still young in football these days and he's easily our best full back. No reason to sell.

He is a better left back than Rose though, no question.

Hes my favourite spurs player tbh, agees with everything he says off the pitch - ultimately would have preferred if he kept the complaints about our transfer policy in house but was still fair criticism and what we were all thinking
