So good to see Gary Neville saying what a lot on here are saying. It's not the wanting out that's the problem is how he's gone about doing it. Hopefully Neville will get the chance to say it on SSN so it can be repeated every hour for Rose to see! Some of the stuff you'd be a bit disappointed about but you'd just be left thinking 'oh, he wants to go then' but instead there's just soooo much there that he didn't need to publicly say. Really thought he had a better head on his shoulders.

Like I said last night, if every player spoke their 'true and honest' mind like Rose has just done there'd be complete anarchy at a lot of clubs.

Rose in the Evening Standard, 31st Jan 2017.

“That is the next step for us, and to do that we need to keep this squad together for as long as possible. For the foreseeable future, I don’t think Spurs have to worry about players wanting to leave to achieve success elsewhere."

Foreseeable future being 7 months for Rose.

He probably assumed we would spend money in the summer.

I think you are probably right. I mean straight away there are now managers that would be thinking is he really worth the risk? Can he be trusted to keep things in house? Then how would his new team mates react to him? I just don't see his representatives orchestrating this at all, it makes no sense. I think straight away this rules out Conte having any interest and probably Pep as well. It is just a really really stupid thing to do especially so close to the start of the season, and imo is worse than how Walker behaved(and that was behind closed doors. Poch's entire philosophy is based on everyone pulling in the same direction, and fighting for each other. That has just been totally blown out of the window imo. I would bet my last pound Poch will be absolutely fuming this morning and IMO Rose will be gone before the window shuts

Hopefully abroad!

He's got to go IMO.

I know it’s easy to slate now he’s made his bed but this interview proves what a MASSIVE ego he has — perhaps small man syndrome.

He says he’ll never forget the stick Tottenham fans gave him when he signed a new deal in 2014 or that people say he had two left feet before Poch came, but now everyone is praising him he’s happy to have the tag of the best LB in the league and that he’s worth “more than he’s paid”.

Messaging fans on Twitter a few seasons ago when they were criticising him? It’s not just football Danny that’s part of life, you can’t just take the praise and not the criticism on top.

He said in an interview before that he thought people were harsh on him during his first season at left-back. NO DANNY, you were fucking awful. Admit your faults.

I know they say loyalty is dead in football, but he’s just shat on Poch with this.

Worth remembering when Pochettino was at Saints, it was Shaw and Clyne who were the best full-backs in England. Now it’s Rose and Walker. Of course he hasn’t made them the footballer’s they are today, but by God he’s played a major role.

With luck he is cleaning out his locker as I write, he played 18 of our league games last season. You simply can't keep disloyal players, especially idiotic ingrates. Like Walker his heart is no longer in it. Next.

So we've gone from having the 2 best full backs in the league as well as having the best back up LB and RB to basically just having Davies (seeing as Trippier is injured)

Fuck me.

Lots of chrome finishing and a mahogany toilet for Levy in the new Stadium.

It's not all bad...

The planet where we totally control negotiations because the player has a 5 year contract. Also shaws broken and martial is out of favour. Not saying I would but that's the reason people think possible.
they bought both players for a combined cost of £65-85m, and we'd somehow strong-arm then into swapping them just because Rose has a 5 year contract?

the delusion in this place sometimes, I swear...

If he's sold too and the money isn't reinvested adequately I think Poch will resign. We do have certain financial constraints but there is such a thing as taking the piss and being brutally honest we kind of are right now.

What basis do you have to believe we will reinvest any money?

Levy should call both Rose and Davies into a meeting. Sit them both down and then award Davies a new contract with double his wages then say thanks for all you hard work and commitment to Davies without uttering a single word to Rose and then let them both leave.

Lots of journos saying there are plenty of players at Spurs who feel the same as Rose but don't have the balls to say it publicly.
Why would you? It's fucking idiotic even if there is truth in it, jesus fucking christ.

I'm gutted about this, but if Poch wants rid after this then we should sell for top dollar and try to reignite a deal for Sessegnon. He might be more amenable to a move if he believes he can cement a starting berth in front of Davies

He's going to get the Campbell treatment isn't he.

I just don't see how we can adequately replace Rose before the window shuts. We still haven't replaced Walker despite knowing he's off for months. We'll probably end up using Vertonghen as a backup LB. What an utter shitshow this transfer window is :(

Being teachers pet, my gut instinct is he ran this past Poch being doing it.

If so, Levy better get signing big cheques pronto.

I'd like Martial plus £30m. Then a £100m blitz in the next 2-3weeks.

Levy is taking the piss,

H
e probably assumed we would spend money in the summer.

He was probably told that we would and even if he wasn't, it's not an unreasonable assumption to make for a club that claims to have ambition to, at the very least, strengthen the damn squad.
