da luck： A few days away from Tottenham’s new Premier League campaign and Danny Rose has thrown a spanner into the works via a surprise interview with The Sun.

“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.”
The 27-year-old later went on to suggest that he’s currently not being paid what a footballer of his talent is worth, in another slight dig at his employers.
“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.”
On the one hand, it’s incredibly refreshing to hear a footballer speak so openly about his career ambitions, but on the other those comments could easily be interpreted as disrespectful to Tottenham – especially as they come just a matter of days before the new season and in the same window as Kyle Walker’s departure to Manchester City.
So, Spurs fans, which side of the debate do you stand on? Does Rose have a point or where his comments disrespectful? Let us know by voting below…
