1. Danny Rose-Chance of return-33%

It wasn’t so long ago that the relationship between Rose and Pochettino closely resembled that of a father and his son. Unfortunately, a lot has changed between the two over the past 12 months.

Rose’s desire to play for a bigger club and, more importantly, to earn more money make him a significant flight risk. Tottenham still have control of the situation due to his contract status, but they won’t fight to keep him if a sufficient transfer bid comes in.

Ironically, Rose’s struggles on the pitch over the last year could ultimately force him to stay at Tottenham. There’s no guarantee that the likes of Chelsea or Manchester United are interested in his services any longer. It’s very possible he’ll need another year in North London to reestablish his transfer value.

I’m betting that Pochettino and company work to find a deal for Rose that will satisfy everyone. The club would like to purchase a younger, more athletic companion for Davies at left back. That should make Rose’s path away from the club just easy enough to complete.
