SPURS REACTS TO DANNY ROSE CRITICISM


Spurs reacts to danny rose criticism
Tottenham Hotspur has as expected reacted to open criticism by Danny Rose about the team’s wage system and transfer business.  Danny Rose has been fined two weeks wages and insider reports suggests the team would have no choice but to sell the full back.

Rose who signed a new five year contract with Spurs in 2016 which saw him receiving £65,000 as wages claimed he and other players in the team are not paid what they are truly worth. It is a matter of fact that the two players in the team earning as much as £100,000 per week are the team’s highest goal-scorer Harry Kane and the French Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. The team and even soccer pundits consider this statement of Danny Rose capable of sparking wage war in the team as reports says there are at least three first team players that privately agreed with Rose.


Danny Rose also raised the issue of squad depth. He agreed Spurs has a very strong first team that can compete with any team in England but after that he said there was nothing coming from the bench. He sighted the Chelsea example in the F.A. Semis where the blues did not start Costa and Hazard and still competed very well. He asked if Spurs could rest Kane or Dele Alli and still be able to compete. These are very strong open criticism and definitely the team would not be expected to keep silent about that.

However Danny Rose has apologized for the Statement made. He tendered this apology through his Base Soccer representatives. He said
“Having had time to consider my actions, I acknowledge now that the timing and the manner of what I said was ill-judged… My words were not meant to offend and for that I would apologize to the chairman, manager, my team mates and the fans.”
Danny Rose statement has definitely triggered all the likely suitors like Manchester United and Chelsea but the release clause placed on Rose by Spurs is £50 Million.

ALL THE PREMIER LEAGUE TRANSFERS

all the premier league transfers for 2017/2018 summer The 2017/2018 Transfer Summer window is closed, every teams experience the natural tradition of influx and exodus of players. The strength and chances of teams in the Premier League and any competition whatsoever are judged based on the quality in their squad and the business they transact in the summer. I guess that explains the reason teams like Liverpool held on to Philippe Coutinho and Southampton would not change their decision over Virgil van Dijk despite genuine interests from teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. When the transfer window opened, there were occurrences that we all expected, such as there would be record breaking deals, shocking deals, overrated players, lingering deals, deadline day drama. The outgone transfer window did live up to expectation. Even though the English Premier League was not involved in the most expensive transfers of the Summer, the English League stil...
