Rose is only 30. Most players don't stay more than 3 years anyway, so could we get 3 good years out of him? I believe so.
We took Bridge when he was 32 and he was quality. Leighton Baines was also decent for Everton at left-back until he was 34, and Rose displaced Baines in the England set-up.
The fee should be doable as Rose is in his final year of contract and third choice behind Davies and Sessegnon, it's clear the feeling he needs a move is mutual.
The sticking point will be wages, as he's on £60K a week and could probably get that if he was willing to play abroad in China or Turkey. He'd be worth that if he was fully motivated and genuinely trying to get back into the England squad, but if we offered less then would he be motivated to put in a shift?
