awesome dawson
Mitchell Thomas
Jose just signed that Porto wing back, might well mean the interest in Rose cools.
On another point, this whole idea of there being disagreements around treatment seems to be a recurring theme. Rose, Toby, I'm sure Lamela probably had something to say about it as well. I wonder whether that is linked to the lower basic salaries we paid. We would take the best long term decision for their health and not the decision to rush them back, but because of that, I imagine some of the guys may have been losing half their income...I don't know for sure but it sure feels common that our players seem to disagree with the treatment we prescribe, even though in Poch and Perez we are being lead by a team that takes sports science, health and fitness etc extremely seriously and they must know their stuff.
No club is going for rose now and he also needs to show that he wants to remain at spurs and get back to his best. It’s in his interests and the clubs and now he has gone public with his issues more people will hopefully back him
He was a passionate spurs player only 18 months ago and we can ge that back by backing him
I think it is a very, very precarious situation for him. He still hints at discontent. I feel very sorry for his issues, but again, whoever is advising him and allowing him to continually vent himself is not, IMO, doing him a favor. He needs to be private, calm and work on all the issues he is dealing with privately. I see no positive for him whatsoever in sharing this a week before the tournament starts, as it will follow his every move, be a footnote to every sentence involving his name. I am not saying he should be "ashamed" of it -of course not!- but again, I think he has been poorly advised and would've found things much easier keeping private for now. That "pull-headline" is starting g proof...
One of the things which has impressed me the most about Poch is that he does not rush players back/allow players to rush themselves back. Kane is the only possible exception, and Kane has earned the right to lay down his own gauntlet in that regard. I can only think of Rose as a major dissenter. Lamela? He had no complaints about how dealt with him -we even let him go back to Roma and receive treatment there, we tried everything! Toby? Has he stressed dissatisfaction about our treatment of his injuries? I see the point you're making, but if it is true, I find it very, very hard to side with these players if the treatment/rest they've been given is correct and appropriate...
Wow, no love for Spurs there whatsoever.Poor fellow sounds like he's had a shocking year, he deserves our full support. Mental health issues are not to be taken lightly.

I'm not particularly comfortable with telling someone how they should handle their mental illness, and I think the same is true with Rose. If he feels talking about depression - one of the last taboos left in football - is going to help him heal, then by all means, talk about it.
Furthermore, if the football world veers away from signing him because of his candidness, that says a lot more about the football world than it does about him.
However...I can predict how the world will react to him talking about it days before the World Cup. And the same papers that talk with such despicably self-righteous, utterly deceitful sympathy about his issues will be gleefully burning him in effigy if he makes the mistake that sends England out.
I hope he's taken that into consideration, because it will be coming.

I don’t think anyone should be condemning him for speaking out about his illness. It’s up to him how he handles it. He may not be listening to his advisers. People who have had/are suffering from a mental illness often don’t listen to advice or think about the consequences of what they say.
That’s how I read it as well, another dig at Spurs, but he can’t divulge more or Spurs will fine him again!?Wow, no love for Spurs there whatsoever.
Nothing about the help, patience and understanding from our end, apparently he was filling himself with pills for our benefit....
I've got a lot of sympathy for his condition but he needs to grow the fudge up and be a pro when he talks publicly about his relationship with the club - whether he feels it or not.

From what I can tell he is a RB, so shouldnt be a factor - more an issue for Valencia.
I think its nothing to do with money.
Id suggest its simply the contradiction of two things,
1) The players desire to play ASAP, and
2) The clubs reluctance to operate if they think things can heal naturally
You put it better than I could, I was struggling to find the right terms.
There is a real sense of detatchment about the club whenever he speaks, its like he has no bond or love for us at all - after what? 10 years? as a player.
Can you blame him?
Fans treated him like brick - I imagine his attitude is partly down to that
