Definitely not. he is not as good on the ball and slower but any backup to Alonso would be fine. 

Ash, partly due to technical limitations, and even more to his chronic one-footedness, was not great on the ball. He made up for this by being a defender par excellence; the best defensive left back around, bar none. Ash acquired a reputation as an attacking full back at Arsenal largely by getting on the end of their pretty passing patterns, not by being a great contributor to those moves. If Rose is worse on the ball then he absolutely, definitely is not the man for us.

Rose used to be a winger. He's definitely better on the ball than Ash. Ash was just an incredible defender and a competent attacker. Rose has more of the opposite going on for him. He's improved a lot defensively over the years though.

Let's be realistic, Tottenham won't sell Rose to Chelsea and I doubt Chelsea are gonna spend 50 million on a defender anytime soon. 

If we really needed competition, why not just pay Southampton for Bertrand.  He's PL proven, knows the club, homegrown, generally 7/10 player, wouldn't cost a fortune.

Bertrand would cost quite a bit imo. At least £30m.

Personally, I don't want competition. Competition is not enough. We should look for an upgrade; a player at least as good as Marcos technically but with more power and, very importantly, more pace. I'm a Marcos Alonso fan. In my view it would take a great player to dislodge him from the team but a great player is what we need.

Am quite happy with the left side it's the right that needs works, one OX could change that.

I agree with you on two counts. I like Ox, and the right side is definitely in greater need of attention than the left.

#Chelsea are prepared to double Danny Rose's wages to around £120,000-a-week, but it is unlikely Spurs will want to negotiate. [standard]

He is already slightly unsettled ... the only way we can get him is by forcing him to put transfer request 

[quickpassnmove 924]

It sounds like the plan is for a big bid on Danny Rose now that it's proven we will not get Sandro.

Doesn't matter what the papers are saying; if Danny pushes for it, I think this one will happen. 

It's up to Danny then.

This move will end up in tears as usual....Tottenham will rather sell to Luton town than to have him play for us....

I cant comprehend why the people in our transfer department are so unrealistic in their targets...or maybe trying hard to get Conte targets...Realistic good and quality options are available in Alex Telles for LWB role while for RWB Sidibe/Perreira even Fabinho who can another dimension to our system of play....

but yeah this analysis is too smart for our board to comprehend...

I'm finding it a bit bizarre myself. 

We seem to deal with a wide variety of clubs, and then when it comes to going the other way, it just doesn't happen. Then another club will come along later with a similar, or even smaller bid, and somehow that gets accepted? Either what is being reported isn't true, and we aren't actually making these bids, or there is some insane order in place where not many teams like selling to us... for whatever reason, despite us being able to deal with other teams.
