Just wondering what's happened to him of late. He's been on the fringe of the first team for quite some time now, yet (though he's had a few injuries) he still doesn't seem to have much time on the pitch.
At the end of last season when Benny got injured, Rose deputised brilliantly and should have been pushing for more minutes this season.
Whenever I've seen him play, he's done well. In the first game against Stevenage, he was our best player. Admittedly, not many of our lot did well, but Rose seemed to have more determination and invention than many of the other players, who looked jaded.
Surely it's worth giving him an opportunity? Although it seems that he's more suited to the left side, hasn't he played on the right before? Couldn't he have played at RM against Everton, with Bale on the left and Modric with Parker/Sandro in the middle?
I'm not saying that he's the answer. I'm just slightly puzzled as to why he never gets a chance...

Danny Rose is quite clearly not good enough to hold down a regular place in the side. I quite like him. He is a decent player with a good attitude. I think he would do well at a norwich or a west brom. I think he is premier league quality

He does seem to be a bit of a 'one-note' player from the little we've seen of him on the pitch in my opinion.
However, these so-called squad players have been brought on a bit and played their part in winning the title for Man Utd season after season as far as I can see. And yet, we have players that would be definite starters at other clubs who can't even buy a minute on the pitch at Spurs.
Something doesn't add up.

Chronic - I don't think anyone's talking about a regular place in the side

ill go out on a limb here and disagree with spurcat. maybe he only looks average when hes playing for the reserves, but when he has played for the first team he has looked excellent. i thought he was outstanding when he filled in at left back at the end of last season, and i am confident he could do a good job at left midfield. bale is quite happy playing on the right.

he would have a free role if it was up to him. the simple facts are that all his most devastating work in a spurs shirt has been done from the left, without exception.
he is a left winger. he has absolutely no right foot so ever... he doesnt even cut inside and shoot when hes on the right so what is the point of it. he doesnt track back any more so its nothing to do with defensive side of things...
he is a top left winger so he should play on the left whether he likes it or not.

Chronic,
I agree that he's at his best when he's on the left side, but i dont agree that he cant use his right foot - its just he refuses to use it 99% of the time.
