I am worried. AVB has said that Rose is going no where as he has a future at Spurs. BAE is fit??? but not featuring [even on the bench] .There have been rumours that BAE could be on his way out of the club.
Putting all of that together I am worried that BAE is going to be sold and that Rose is seen as his replacement.
I like Rose as a player but he is no BAE [my opinion].
I am biased as BAE is just about my favourite player but allowing for that I believe this is a worrying rumour because.
1. BAE is an experienced and bloody good left back
2. He is creative and highly individual. Therefore yes he does make the occasional error but he adds excitement and flair.
3. He links well with Bale and gets the ball forward early and into space for Bale to run into. I believe Bale is a better player when BAE is on the field.
I cannot believe that BAE is going anywhere. He is just returning from long term injury, like Parker and Kaboul.
The players we need to be selling ( assuming anybody wants them ) are Gomes Bentley Jenas and Huddlestone, none of whom are good enough for a top 4 side.
Assuming Rose carries on the way he is at Sunderland, them we surely should keep him as we have struggled down the left this season, and with hindsight loaning him out was a mistake, unless he is one of those players, like Bentley, who think they are too good to fight for a place.
