The news that Spurs are close to signing Ben Davies for a suggested £8m appears to have caused a small ripple of ‘meh’ online.
Every crystal ball I ever bought turned out to be a prime example of false advertising, so I can’t assure you that the Welshman will be a seminal signing.
However, we need to rid ourselves of the fantasy that Danny Rose is going to suddenly become a good left back. It isn’t going to happen.
There is no way of sufficiently sugaring a cyanide pill. He’s a too daft, and that is what will ultimately prevent him from being a successful footballer.
I see that some fans are waving player stats about, like Serbain teenagers waving their wedding vegatables at each other at a bodybuilding competition.
Davies is only 21 and to date, looks like an encouraging prospect. If he comes in, let’s wish the lad well.
After all, how could he be any worse?
