Danny Rose

[DiamondLites]

I actually quite like what Danny said, and I like that he's not afraid to speak his mind- in the days of carefully scripted interviews and players speaking in cliches and PR approved sound bites, it's refreshing

As a fan I don't want Spurs players to be comfortable and take their positions in the team for granted, and I want the club to go to the next level or we risk losing the best core we've had in forever. To do this we need to improve the quality of the squad and bring in players that could improve the first XI, I don't see how anyone can dispute this

Maybe he shouldn't be doing this so publicly, but it's good to know that the players also share our frustrations as it shows they care, which has been one of the cornerstones of our recent 'success'

SPLASH THE CASH
Tottenham ace Danny Rose admits ‘we need two or three big buys’ and not players you have to Google to find out who they are

DANNY ROSE admits he is in awe of Manchester City and Chelsea’s squad strength — and has urged his Tottenham bosses to strike back in the transfer market.

The England left-back has singled out unsettled Everton ace Ross Barkley as one of the two or three top-class stars he believes Spurs should recruit.

As the blunt-speaking Yorkshireman put it: “I am not saying buy ten players, I’d love to see two or three — and not players you have to Google and say, ‘Who’s that?’ I mean well-known players.”

Spurs are the only Premier League side not to have bought during the summer window.

And while Rose does not want the club to lose their admirable reputation for promoting youth, he claims Mauricio Pochettino’s squad needs fresh blood.

Rose, Tottenham’s long-serving current player having joined ten years ago, said: “Under Harry Redknapp we signed Rafa van der Vaart. It was like, ‘Wow, how did he do that?’

“I mean signings like that are what we need — that’s just my opinion.

“There are three weeks to go until the window shuts and you look at Man City and think, ‘If the window shut now they would be happy with the business they have done’.

“Man United, more or less, are there — although I hear Mourinho may want one or two more players — but I am sure he’d be happy with his squad.

“As a Tottenham player I’d love to see more signings. It would lift me seeing a top player come through the door.

“I’ve seen a couple of players previously saying, ‘We don’t need a top signing or signings’. But I am sorry, I am not singing off the same hymn-sheet on that one.

“I think we do need one or two top signings to strengthen the squad. I’m just not buying the idea that we don’t need anyone.”

Rose watched Tottenham’s 3-0 pre-season loss to City in Nashville last month — and had a similar sensation to seeing his team’s 4-2 FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea in April.

The injured defender, 27, said: “I know it was only pre-season but I watched the game against Man City and I was just in awe of City.

“They only had Kyle Walker, Danilo and the goalkeeper Ederson out of the players they’ve just bought.

“Speaking to some lads when they got back, they’re saying: ‘City are taking off £200million and then they are bringing on Aguero, Toure and Sane’. That just speaks volumes to me.

“Anyone who says we don’t need any signings, I’m not buying into that.

“As a starting 11 we have one of the best in the league, without a shadow of a doubt, but after that . . .

“We played Chelsea in the Cup semi — Costa, Hazard and Cahill didn’t play.

“After 60 minutes, Conte has brought on Fabregas, Hazard and Costa and they’ve changed the match.

“I thought to myself, ‘Could we ever afford to play against a top team and afford to have Harry Kane, Dele Alli and a top centre-back not playing?’

“No disrespect to anyone but I don’t think we could do that and Chelsea did that to us. They’re still in the game, they bring on Costa, Hazard and Fabregas and they won.

“I definitely feel we need to bolster the squad.

“Under Harry, there were two Premier League-class players for every position. We are finishing even higher under Mauricio but we don’t have that depth now.

“The standard of training when there’s that much quality is amazing. I have competition for my place but why shouldn’t everyone have competition for their places?

“Top-class competition where, if you have two average games, you might lose your place. I have that and I don’t see why anyone else shouldn’t.

“I want world-class players to come through the front door to make you fight for your place.”

Rose’s England team-mate Barkley, who is being allowed to leave Everton, has long been linked with Spurs.

And Rose said: “Mauricio is a world-class manager and I can only voice my opinion — as a Tottenham ‘fan’ for the last six months.

“But hearing Ross might be available, well, I have played with and against Ross and bringing him through the door, in itself, would be a huge boost.

“I’m a huge fan. In terms of physical stature, right and left foot and trying to get him off the ball, he’s like Mousa Dembele. If Ross wants to push on to the next level, Mauricio Pochettino is the best manager to do that — just look how many players he has got into the England squad.”

While Spurs have yet to recruit this summer, there has been one significant departure — Walker’s £50m switch to Pep Guardiola’s City.

Rose, who has known Walker for 17 years since their days in Yorkshire schoolboy football, revealed he advised Pochettino not to sell the right-back.

He said: “Kyle leaving has been a big blow to me because when I play I am going into battle and when I am playing against the top people, I look over to Kyle and I fully expect Kyle to get the better of anybody.

“He was, and is, the best right-back in the league and seeing him sold to a title favourite and rival was hard.

“I wouldn’t expect Daniel Levy to tell me how to play football — we get on really well and he runs the club brilliantly — so I am not going to tell him how to run his club.

“But I didn’t want to see Kyle sold. I wish him all the best and he deserves what he is earning. City will win a trophy this season and he deserves to be part of that.

“I knew Kyle may have been moving at the end of last season and I did voice my view. ‘Try to keep him, he’s the best, why would we sell him?’ — I said that to the manager.

“But I’ve seen the manager say he feels Tottenham had the best of him and if that is what he feels, I fully respect the judgement of the manager and Daniel Levy.

“We do have a perfect replacement in Kieran Trippier. His crossing ability is the best I have played with and, as a person, he is one of the nicest I’ve ever come across.

“He looks like he’ll be Tottenham’s No 1 right-back. He deserves it and can flourish.”

Not much wrong with that.
Expected a lot worse to be honest....all very fair

Can't see much wrong here, he said he'd move back up north eventually, Lennon said the same. He wants Spurs to sign extra men and push for the title, he's said this before, I'm not too worried

Have you read the next part?googling players etc??!!

 

[Bobbins]

I agree with pretty much everything he's said - it's not what he's said that's the problem. It's the fact that he's come out and not just said this publicly, but actually requested an interview (with the fucking Sun of all things) because he wants everyone to know what he thinks.

It should all have been said behind closed doors, and should never have brought any of his team-mates into it.

 

[ostrov]

Dany Rose also said this, but it wont make the headlines as its not clickbait

Some strong evidence that he might be bipolar.

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

Have you read the next part?googling players etc??!!

still truth though ..

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Whilst telling Levy how to do his job.

any positive in their is just to try and coat it all witht he illusion that he has good intentions at heart.

Be suckered if you want, mate. Not I.

He's just done a number on the whole club, solely for his own benefit amd times it 2 days before the season starts to put as much pressure on the club to get rid of him as he possibly could.

I will never, ever forgive him.

He goes into the Tim Sherwood box.

I'm not bothered either way tbh. He obviously is the best LB in the league, when fit. But we won 13 out of 15 matches since he got injured because Davies is good enough. We'll move on as always

much like us

 

[Bobbins]

I wonder if Danny will put two and two together when his key card doesn't work at the training center tomorrow.

You don't think players actually have to open their own doors do you?!

 

[thinktank]

Now we're gonna have to put up with the media banging on about how hard it will be to keep our stars all over again. There was a stage last season where every week they wouldn't stop talking about it and it pissed me off then. Think we're gonna have to hear all of that all over again just due to these comments.

Like I said, he has inflicted the worst possible damage he could just to force a move.

I've never seen anything like it. Not to this extent. Not so public and so in-depth.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

still truth though ..

But this shouldn't be in public, spouted to a tabloid and two days before the start of the season. Surely you agree with that?! He is an employee of a company. If you do that you know you will be moved on. This is for his personal gain ONLY.

 

[THFC_SWE]

About the Google comment, it's not necessarily a dig against our squad players. Maybe he follows the transfer rumours and means the players that we are linked with, like that defender from Argentina. And I think it is. Just a thought.

Maybe he shouldn't be doing it so publicly? That's exactly what makes this all bullshit, there is a reason "keep it in house" and "don't air our dirty laundry" are terms, it does nothing but negativity for the club, selfish act, plain and simple.

This not afraid to speak mind stuff is bananas, same rhetoric that got Trump elected. Bottom line is him, his agent, and a reporter in the room trying to force a move. He is being honest, an honest ****, tactfulness is a good trait to have for a reason.

A man who the club want and could be opposite him in the dressing room in three weeks as a team mate...classy

 

[thinktank]

It's gonna be pretty difficult to have a wank in bed later on after all this.

Fury wank. Putting it all in there. *fap fap fap* *fap fap fap fap* Arrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh!!.. *fap fap fap fap fap fap* AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!... "fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap..."

Mate, please stop

It was just an example. As long as he doesn't say names I have no problem with it.

The crooks of this is that everything he has said whether you like it or not is TRUE. However you speak to levy about it speak to the coaches, speak to Poch yes voice your opinion there yes, BUT not to the dirty rags and especially one of the dirtiest rags as they come!!! MEdia will sensationalise this and Jose will be tapping up left right and centre even more than he was. All those team Chav Manure Sh*ty want to dismantle our team, turn heads etc ..... this has just given a huge green light and Rose is not stupid, he knows what saying this will cause, even if hes not asking for a move ... this season!

It's a thick comment, with that logic we shouldn't have bought him. You can say that that's not what he completely meant, but the fact that he is giving the sun a tell all for his comments to be construed whichever way tells you all you need to know about this being a **** move

Except it's not all true, if we followed the Danny rose transfer plan we would do a fucking Leeds, the irony
