The biggest problem with this interview is the player himself seems to have instigated it.

Those headlines are blatant sensationalism designed to sell papers. Something along the lines of "I'd like to play closer to home one day before I retire" can be spun as "I'll play up North" for short, leaving potential buyers standing at newsstands with the impression that he is demanding an imminent transfer.

I'll wait to read a (copied and pasted, fuck the Sun) copy of the article before I rush to judgment. If he's just said that he's disappointed in the club's lack of ambition then he's in the same boat as nearly 100% of people who follow Spurs.

Edit: Just seen that the article was posted above, he's basically said what I thought he had. Definitely a harsh tone regarding the club's wage structure and the way the fans treated him, but then he was thoroughly abused despite having been absolutely hung out to dry by Sherwood's tactics.
Look up the page.

WAR OF THE ROSES
Tottenham star Danny Rose adamant he knows his value and will ensure he ‘gets what I’m worth’
The most brutally honest interview that you will read all year... the 27-year-old Spurs and England left-back speaks exclusively to SunSport

AFTER six months of intense frustration at being laid low by a knee injury, and a decade of keeping his head down as a dedicated pro, Danny Rose wants to give you a piece of his mind.

He may be England’s first-choice left-back and a member of the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for the past two seasons, but Rose has often felt under-valued and misunderstood.

He has requested this interview to put that all straight.

Rose said: “I am opinionated and I might not have long left in football.

“One thing is for sure, for the rest of this career, I will play this game how I want to play it and, while I am not going to disrespect anyone, I am going to voice my opinions.”

Rose is not demanding a transfer from Tottenham.

But in a candid and wide-ranging interview, he gives a refreshingly honest opinion on a club which has punched above its weight with two title challenges, yet has not spent a penny on players this summer.

The rampaging full-back is adamant that he is motivated more by trophies and medals than money.

But he insists he does not believe he or his Spurs team-mates are paid their true worth.

Having recently turned 27, and contemplating a return from the longest injury lay-off of his career, Rose admitted: “At my age, and having missed six months with injury, I have been thinking about this quite a lot.

“I am reaching my peak and have probably only got one big contract left in me.

“Time is running out and I do want to win trophies. I don’t want to play football for 15 years and not have one trophy or one medal.

“Sorry, that’s not what I am about. I wouldn’t be happy with that. I want to win something.

“I will say this too — I will play up north. I don’t know exactly when, but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere.

“I moved away from home (from Leeds to Spurs) at 16.

“Yes I’ve got team-mates who have moved away from families in South Korea and Argentina, but I have been away for over ten years now and I don’t get to see my mum that often.

“I am going to make it my priority before I retire to play football up there.

“My short-term focus is to get back to playing like last year and if I do that the long-term will take care of itself.

“I’m not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I’d have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club.”

Rose is believed to earn £65,000-per-week. A move to Chelsea or either Manchesterclub could earn him two or three times as much.

When told he might be accused of being motivated by cash, Rose is uncommonly honest in insisting he knows his worth – and will not sell himself short.

He said: “Being injured has harmed me on and off the field in a lot of ways.

“When you’re injured you get a lot of time to think and I’ve had a lot of ‘what if?’ moments. It’s been hard to deal with.

“One thing is for sure — I know my worth and I will make sure I get what I am worth.

“I am not playing as well as I have done not to get paid what I think I am worth.

“In any walk of life, if you think you are worth a certain amount, why settle for less? I am not that person.

“If I get to levels I reached last season — and this goes out to everybody — I will make sure I get what I am worth. I don’t know how much longer I might have at this level. I’m not going to be stupid enough not to try and get the most out of it — medals, trophies and salary.

“Anyone who thinks this is primarily for money, that is not the case. But I know what I am worth.

“As with everyone else in my team, in my opinion, I am worth more than I am getting.

“I am not speaking on behalf of other players, but that is my view.”

Rose has huge respect for manager Mauricio Pochettino — he has even been referred to as the “gaffer’s son” by team-mates who joke he is a teacher’s pet.

Yet the long-serving left-back is sick of hearing suggestions he was not up to it before Pochettino arrived in 2014.

Back then Rose was unpopular with Spurs fans after tough times under Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood.

And when Pochettino handed him a new contract, many were scathing.

Rose added: “People speak about me and to me as if I had two left feet before Mauricio came to the club.

“But I want people to understand that having one average season, as I’d had, doesn’t make you a bad player. You need to distinguish that.

“I don’t usually blow my own trumpet, but I was a good player before the manager came. I am an even better one now and he has helped me become more consistent.

“But don’t ever speak about me as if I had two left feet before he arrived. I am not having that. I’ll never forget how some fans treated me when I signed a contract.

“I have been desperate to get that on record and I hope people read about my mindset on that one.

“I am happy at Tottenham, I love my team-mates and the fans have been great for the last three years.

“But I got a lot of stick before Mauricio came to the club. I’ll never forget some of the things they were saying about me.

“Now I want to win things and I want to be in the starting 11 at the World Cup with England. If I have a good season, these things will sort themselves out.”
I love Tottenham I love my team mates it's nit about money but I know what I'm worth and will get what I'm worth but it's not about money...... you trying to convince yourself Danny?

Not surprised. He was treated with such disrespect when he signed that new contract under AVB.

Also, it's funny how he is saying that it's not about money but then spends 80% of the interview talking about money.

If you think the fans said bad things before Danny, you ain't seen nothing yet...
But that is what you want isn't it?
Rose is not demanding a transfer from Tottenham
No, heaven forbid you lose your loyalty bonus, I mean being on such a pittance must be a great hardship.

Here you go. Just what I said:

“I will say this too — I will play up north. I don’t know exactly when, but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere. I am going to make it my priority before I retire to play football up there.

Kind of strange that these quotes aren't getting a lot of attention compared to some of the other ones. I can't speak for his relationship with his teammates, but if he feels underpaid and doesn't like the fans, what's really keeping him here?

He requested the interview only to smear shit all over the management pubicly and maybe unsettle the whole squad .

Dear oh dear Danny.
Calculated, expect a united or city bid soon

Yes, very sensational and not as bad as everyone was making out. Still shouldn't have done it though. Stupid twat. The only bright side of all this might be a kick up the arse for DL, but i won't hold my breath.

Does go to show that the players do take it to heart when our fans slag them off. They remember.

Sell him. Put the 60m straight back into paying the wages of his mates. That's an extra 50k a week by my reckoning for our 5 best players for the next 5 years.

If we'd been smart we would've started contract talks and improved terms with Rose when we sold Walker. To make him feel important. He's obviously a sensitive soul and needs to be managed. The world knows he's being paid way under his worth, would've been judicious to nip that in the bud.

He talks a lot about money for someone who isn't bothered about it. Seems to be a rambling rant to me. Sadly he is a player we do not want to lose and we have got to hope Levy and Poch can sort him out. Certainly do not want to lose him this summer and also there is no point in having him rot in the reserves.
