Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have been flocking to an admission from Newcastle United loanee Danny Rose.
In the Toon’s official programme for their clash with West Ham United on Sunday, the left-back discussed his Spurs career and revealed that he was playing for his future (via Goal).
That is due to the fact that he no longer sees his future being at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He said: “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that my days are numbered at Spurs. I am playing for my future – no bigger motivation.”
In fact, he blamed his Spurs career coming to a halt on the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, who lost his job in November.
Rose stated: “When my old manager lost his job, that was pretty much the end for me.”
Lots of Spurs fans then flocked to some of these quotes when they were relayed to supporters on social media by Ricky Sacks.
Be good for both player & club see him move.

During his time with the north London club, Rose made 214 appearances, in which he managed to bag 10 goals and 29 assists (per Transfermarkt).
What should Tottenham Hotspur do with Danny Rose in the upcoming summer?Sell him, he's terrible
Keep him, he's reliable

Definitely best for all parties

You made those days numbered with your lack of commitment

Since making the switch to Steve Bruce’s outfit on loan in the January transfer window, the 30-year-old defender has made seven Premier League appearances.
However, over those outings, the left-back has delivered a fairly uninspiring 6.52/10 average rating (as per WhoScored), making him the 10th-worst performer for the Toon in the league this term.
Sad, just sad. If true, i wish he gets what he wants.

Do it. Need players committed to the club and not on the downward spiral of their careers. Go get Grimaldo and Dias from Benfica and send back Gedson

One fan even claimed that a reason behind his words may be that he knows an influx of cash could be on its way to Newcastle United, with their potential takeover ongoing.

Frustrating as he’s still the best left back at the club.

Not every supporter shared the same opinion, though.
I would like him back lol

However, as can be seen in most of the responses from Tottenham supporters, many of them would not mind if Rose departed on a permanent transfer this summer.
