"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."

In light of the fucking news plastered about Coutinho non-stop, I thought I'd post what Rose said yesterday (not to mention wondering why Spurs' squad isn't as deep as Chelsea's, or that he wants to play up north). I think the above is why Spurs will most likely see their best players picked off in the coming years.

It's why it's even more imperative for our club to invest money NOW and try and win a few trophies ... No better way to keep & attract players than to be a WINNING club. History is great, but what does it mean for a player wanting to win now?
 
You left out the best comments:

He hopes the club will steer clear of signing players “you have to Google and say, ‘Who’s that?’” but rather target “well-known players”, such as the Everton midfielder Ross Barkley.
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,” he added. “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.
 
This is going to be a difficult season for Spurs. They have lost a couple of players, not really brought in anyone of note, AND they have the whole playing all their home games at Wembley to factor in. Remember, they were pretty dire at Wembley last year in the champions league games, only winning against CSKA. Compare that with the 17 wins and 2 draws at WHL in the league and it could see Spurs slide well out of top four territory this season.

The Yorkshire-born 27-year-old, who has been sidelined with a knee injury for six months, has been linked with a move to Manchester United and Chelsea this summer.

The defender also expects a pay rise when he negotiates his next contract.

He added: "I know my worth and I will make sure I get what I am worth. I don't know how much longer I might have at this level.

"Anyone who thinks this is primarily for money, that is not the case. But I know what I am worth.''
 
Agreed, and I hope they will struggle.
Wouldnt put it past Levy to get a few decent signings in before the window closes mind.

Playing at Wembley could be a huge factor, and lets hope a few other of their players think the same as Rose.

Verthongen said the same a few weeks ago.

There transfer net spend over the last few years has been a net positive or there abouts. They are doing what Arsenal have done and that is paying for a stadium but there stadium is costing few hundreds millions more.

I don't think history comes into it that much. Recent history is way more important than what happened in the 80's anyway.

Players want to win and they want to see the club go all out all of the time - the difficulty is thats not always financially possible / a good idea.

A perfect example of a bad time to do it was when we brought in Hodgson and gave him the task of getting a CL spot whilst giving him limited funds to it - as any average manager would he took the shortcut of buying players he'd worked with who he felt he could rely on immediately.
He also tried to offload a young and unreliable Henderson for an in form Dempsey. I think i'm right in saying we got Joe Cole, Poulsen and Konchesky ?

That attempt to push for 4th set us back quite a bit. Even though we probably had to do it for the potential financial consequences.

As a club we don't have that recent track record of being in the CL and competitive in the home competitions - much like Spurs - so its harder for a player to believe we're going to do what it takes to compete. We can't simply tell a player to trust us and things will work out since we have no recent history of it ever happening.

If you've got that equity with players you can go and buy players that you need to google which might not excite the current squad but ultimately will be of benefit to the club overall.

As an example of younger players who moved to or from Premiership clubs in 2010:
Seamus Coleman
Kyle Walker
Ryan Bertrand
Marcos Alonso
Koscielny
Jerome Boateng
Mousa Dembele

Now lots of shite players moved too, but every year there are great deals to be had bit we've got to build up that reputation for getting things right before the squad or new signings will trust us so we can have the freedom to make those signings
 
Their pay structure will end up fucking them up, and this interview smells of Raheem.

The only shock is it was just him and not half the squad

Ditto. Here's hoping.

The building of a new stadium does not help with their pay structure. They only need to look across north London and look at their neighbours to see this.
 
He said this also.

"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"

Either he has his head turned by City or United or he wants to be the left back for House Stark.

City's White Walker would eat him alive..

Maybe he wants to go back to Sunderland with the booing fans and half empty stadium.
 
Players whose names you have to google? This lad has lived up to the stereotypically thick footballer, hasn't he? The adulatory press reports of his being one pf the best left-back in the world has also seemed to have got to him-- what business is it of his to sign or release players (expect himself, of course?)
 
Rose is only on 65k a week. He's seeing Walker now earn 140k and even players like Andre Gray who isn't even that good and he's on 95k. So of course he's wanting more money and knows he can get it.
 
News coming out that Barca are turning their focus to Christian Eriksen now that we've declared Coutinho isn't for sale. That's alot on their plate then this week (and maybe this summer) with them not making any major signings so far, too.
