The more I think about this the more idiotic it makes Danny sound. "Not players you have to Google". Christs sake man.
Its times like this you realise how dim a lot of players actually are, not to think it, but to think its appropriate to come out with in an interview with one of the county's biggest newspapers.

How sincere is the apology? The fact is that Rose and everybody else at the club would have been better off if he hadn't made the comments, at least publicly. Certain things that happen or are said inside an organisation should stay there.
Sincere or not. It was made and seemed decent enough. Time for everyone to move on now. We have the first match on Sunday that the coaches and the teams need to focus on. Rose needs to focus on his fitness. If he works his way back into squad, great. Like it or not, we need him. He's simply a better player than Davies. We should cheer him on if he plays for us again. If he isnt able to get back into the good graces of Poch, then so be it. I for one am over this already. I've said my feelings on all of this and I am ready, if not eager, to move on, get on with the season and get on with actual transfer discussions, like the signing of a right back to replace Walker.

Irony being that most foreign clubs probably have to Google Danny Rose

I wish people would stop with all this "swap for.." nonsense. It rarely happens anyway. This isn't like swapping Merlin football stickers.

Poch told Rose to be more arrogant like Marcelo soppy bollocks went too far with it
He's thinking arrogant I'll show you fucking arrogant (rings Sun)
Walks in next morning "still got it boss"

To be fair he's only like about 80-90% of football fans who think a big name signing equates to guaranteed success whereas if a player isn't recognised then it won't improve your team. I've had plenty of football conversations where some one scoffs at a low-key signing only for them to actually be a pretty key player.

Kante, Alli and Dier are prime example of why players and football fans alike should just wait to see. And seen as two of them are at our club and joined when Rose probably had never heard of them, shows how stupid he is - as you say.

Christ if I read another Danny Google joke I think I'm going to top myself. It was funny the first 10 times I read it today but the last 90 times it's been posted have started to grate on me. It's been used in EVERY player transfer rumour today. Guys, you need to get some more material :sour:

He is, and I get that. I guess my point is that he isn't a fan, he's on the inside. That's a different rule set. Saying something like that makes you an outsider to the inner circle. And tbh comeplety at odds with Poch's meritocratic system where it's not about names, it's about application. I thought Rose, of all people (having been called shit) would get it.

Who's Danny Google? Is he a striker? If only there was some kind of online search facility...

Someone once invented something that purports to do that job...however, I think it may have been thrown together in a bit of a rush using whatever the inventor had lying around at the time, because when I tried to use it to learn more about this Danny Google fella, what it actually returned was a picture of a man covered in wheat entitled "Grainy Dougal."

Gary Neviile putting Rose in his place right now on Sky.

  • Said he was very unprofessional
  • just him coming out to a paper and saying that was bad
  • other clubs wouldn't be impressed by the way he's gone about it
  • in his first couple of years was 4th or 5th choice left back and that changed when Poch came
  • asking to leave is fine but the way you do it is important and carries on through life as he will be remembered for these things

  • Carragher stating how disrespectful the 'google' comment was
  • many didn't know Berbatov for instance
  • disrespectful to many players in that dressing room
  • every player wants medals and more money but you don't say that publicly.
Glad they gave him a bit of a roasting to be honest.

He just got slated by Neville and Carragher on SS1. Totally disrespected the club and his google comment wouldn't have pleased his team mates. Carragher said he needed googling when he joined Spurs :LOL:

Edit: damn ajspurs you beat me too it.

Jamie Carragher: "I bet when Danny Rose went to Tottenham Hotspur from Leeds, Robbie Keane and Berbatov had to Google who he was".

I bet he's feeling a bit of a tit now. Roundly been called an idiot by people in the game, had to publicly apologise and 2 weeks wages to charity. Might be time to engage brain and stop listening to his agent.

If only he was paid what he was worth...

...the charity would have got even more.
