He should just retire, save himself a lot of grief.
He has said a couple of times that he cannot wait to retire.
I don’t blame him for holding out for the value of his contract, would have been better if they had arranged this pre-transfer window though, a bale type deal. His new club pay X, and we top it up to his full salary.
Sad to hear, but accept you probably know more than I do re: background. Did City and Utd both bid for him the summer we sold Walker, or was it just paper talk? Think Dier was linked too that window (to Utd)?I think most of his ego issues come from jealousy and resentment of Walker getting his move to City.
Demanding a massive new contract when a similar move never materialised for him, and on the back of being out for ages put Levy's back up and meant he was stuck on those wages ever since. Then all the press stuff when he couldn't get his own way have added to his decline.
The one thing no one can criticise Levy for is how he's treated our top performers, as far as renewal of contracts are concerned. Yet Danny is where he is. Sooner he goes now the better, and I'll for one not be wishing him the best when he finally fucks off.
Google him.Who?
He has a contract, he's perfectly entititled to be paid in full for it.
From my experience, Danny has always been about Danny. I always found him to be very narrow-sighted and somewhat selfish. I don't necessarily think it was malicious selfishness but he seems incapable of having a sense of perspective and yes even from 10 years ago seemed to be hard done by.I'm really not sure why Danny gets his back up so quickly. It really seems that there are larger socio-cultural matters that don't sit well with him and it seems to manifest itself into highly sensitive, quickly antagonistic reactions that people will quickly and dismissively put in a "whinger with lots of baggage" bucket. I remember that meeting he called with Jose in that documentary and how he approached the conversation. Jose Mourinho is not someone you want to mess with. Either jump on his bandwagon with obsessive focus or get dumped to the side. Clearly the outcome with Danny and seemingly - and increasingly - the case with Dele.
The insurance company probably has, to be honest.Spurs have paid him whilst he was injured.
why should he be paid early? so he can then go elsewhere and get a new contact whilst being paid by spurs!
he has to be reasonable!
Spurs have paid him whilst he was injured.
His been a good player but not for a few years and his also been a dick!
A Tottenham source has told Football Insider that Rose is set to resist a payout on reduced terms.
He wants the full £2.5million-plus remaining on his deal, which runs until June of next year.

I think he wants his £2.5M then join the MLS or free to go to China in june, only 8 months from now.

If he had any self awareness he'll regret ever doing that interview in 2017.
He was injured at the time and it had been about 6 months since we'd last seen him on the pitch, which means it's now over 3 years ago since he was at the peak of his powers. He's lost an absolute ton of credibility as a player because he's not got close to those levels since and even a loan spell at Newcastle proved fruitless.
He needed to understand that his stock dramatically dropped. He'll probably blame Jose or the club in some way but at the end of the day if he hadn't have spoken out against the club publically when it was completely unnecessary to do so, he would have kept his credibility at the club and maybe wouldn't have been cast aside.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jose already had his mind made up about Rose before he even came to the club, you don't want a player around who can potentially run to the papers the minute you upset him......which Danny took hook, line and sinker.
As a player and professional on the pitch I really liked him and think he was one of the best we had at his best, he's also been with the club for sooo long which should be admired but he's left a massive stain on it by not being able to know when to speak out and how to do it.
I do think arranging an interview with a media outlet in which you criticise the club behind the club's back is an issue. Especially when you have been out injured. Morale at the club at the time was very good and there was no need to rock the boat.Ive disagreed as the interview if I remember he said some inadvisable things but it was no real big deal to me. I dont think JM should or would have a negative view of Rose because of that, I believe everyone likely had a clean slate and Danny did get to play games and it was what he did on the pitch that determined the game time he was getting. I believe he did think he was better than his performances and when he confronted JM about his lack of game time then stormed off that he was going to confront Levy too, he shot himself in the foot. He has had plently of time to realize he was wrong and to apologise and ask for another chance (I think he would have been given it) but he's too up himself to do that. That is my opinion, I could be wrong but I think you are wrong.
I'm not saying he should be paid early. I'm saying he's entitled to the full pay of his contract. From the article:
He's fully entitled to take that stance, I would do the same.
