Why does Arry keep playing Danny Rose, who is shite, and was largely [censored]at Championship level with us, yet he keeps loaning out Caulker, who is England bound and big club bound?

What about Strikers, or Gareth Bale?

Double up on him, one tight and one in the space 5 to 10 yards off and you neutralise his game. His best games come when the single defender doesn't know whether to sit on his shoulder or sit back in the space he will run into.
