This. Keep saying it, but would love to see us a chunk of his fee to tempt Sessegnon from Fulham
I think he will be off in January
Hmmm I think there's only so much we can realistically compare incidents like these because we don't know a thing about what has gone on behind the scenes - which is probably more important to the players future than the actual incidents themselves
I'm sure Pochettino is not beyond forgiving players for this type of behaviour as long as they suitably make up for it/apologise in the correct manner.
Well, by all accounts Townsend apologised and then played in the reserves without any fuss. Really got his head down, but was then sold. Obviously he was never as important to us as Rose has been, but that's what I mean. It will be interesting to see how Rose is handled.
Townsend would likely have been sold anyway because he wasn't very good - were he good and had he done the right things off the pitch I'm sure he'd still be here
I think equality and morale should always take precedence in this kind of situation.Again, this is precisely my point. I know Townsend was never as important as Rose was, and I'm not saying Poch isn't pragmatic with these things. I just think it's a fascinating managerial question to get right. Firstly, how much leeway do you give to someone to go against the plan because of how important they are - and the risk of alienating the rest of the squad. And secondly, how much sympathy do we / Poch have for Rose given his injury and again, does that sympathy risk alienating some players to adhere to the plan to the letter and saw someone like Townsend get punished for less.
Plus he's another misjudged interview waiting to happen.I think equality and morale should always take precedence in this kind of situation.
To give Rose preferential treatment now would just be storing up plenty more problems for the future. Playing with a marginally worse left back is by far the preferred option. But the sale has to happen in the summer so that Rose doesn't get a win here.
Was due back end of August and now is no where near being mentioned as fit
How long till he is back then?!?!
Sell him to United for £50m buy Sessengnon and let him stay at Fulham till the summer like we did with Dele at MKHe has to go imo, he tinkled in the pool.
Not sure when, and certainly with restrictions on where.

Is there any news on his recovery? He will be very valuable to us when fit again.
That is a most optimistic estimate. I say get 'em to Eileen Drewery.Due back October 2021. Lamela February 2023.
