"A number of weeks"? Thats a big blow for us
Weeks, I was hoping it was going to be days.
Massive, massive blow. Ben Davies is decent but not in the same league as Rose right now.
Vertonghen may have to do the odd stint at LB to give Davies a rest
I remember last season that Davies filled in for a period of time and got better and better....It is a blow and as you say Davies is not Danny Rose, however he is a good full back and with a further run of games he will progress. Not sure how many game he has played on the run but he does seem to be fitting in better.
Yeah, fook England, why on earth should he risk his fitness for that shambles - unless of course it is to get match fit for us.
If he is anywhere close to being back and fit by the time England play, he should be nowhere near the England squad. Lets' keep him on the injury list for a week longer if need be.

Real shame, Davies is nowhere near Rose level and doesnt offer anything going forward. I find Davies a safe player. Never takes risks. He likes to pass backwards.

He'd be well suited to a team that has to sit deep and defend but our team lacks so much pace without just having Rose in our team. I think him and Toby are our most important players.Too slow to be a decent full back.
I disagree. I think Davies is a good player but we need that pace on each side to give us that outlet, we're too easy to stop when everything goes central.Agree he's not remotely as good as Rose going forward, but he's mostly good defensively and does contribute to our attacking play as well. He's got a decent cross when he goes forward. As has been said; I think we'll see his performances improve with a run in the team.
We're better with Rose no doubt - much better - but for a back up left back, I'm happy with Davies. I doubt we could attract anyone better without offering silly money or regular trophies.
