Off Topic Van Dijk

Another one to add to the very long list of missed opportunities is Danny Rose.

We could have had him for about £7mil according to press reports after his Loan finished.
He was happy enough to come as his prospects of regular games at Spurs were limited.

He is angling for a move and MU are reported to be sniffing about.
He's worth, and bill command, rather more than the £7mil we wouldn't pay, I suspect.:emoticon-0130-devil
Same with Alonso mate.
 
We tried to buy Rose if I recall right Spurs wanted a look at him in pre-season and decided to keep him.

Love that he still pops up for games and that, top man and none of us wanted him!

I think a lot of people wanted him here at the time, but Spurs were their usual awkward selves, and we ended up with PVA instead, and a lot of people then advocated going for Marcus Alonso to form a partnership down the left side whose potential would have been awesome, in fact any two from those three and we could not have gone wrong.

I mean when he came on loan mate, we didn’t want him then.

We absolutely did end of his loan.
