Spurs' defender, Danny Rose has tendered unreserved apology after criticizing his club, Tottenham over perceived reluctance to sign a world class player before the close of the current summer transfer window. He had made the scathing remarks during an interview with The Sun.
The apology which was released by Rose's Base Soccer representatives read
"Having had time to consider my actions, I acknowledge now that the timing and manner of what I said was ill-judged. My words were not meant to offend and for that I would like to apologise to the chairman, manager, my team mates and the fans. I'd also like to wish the lads good luck ahead of Sunday's game against Newcastle."
During the controversial interview, Rose was quoted as saying
“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. There are three weeks to go until the window shuts and you look at Man City and think, ‘If the window shut now they would be happy with the business they have done"
He added that “Man United, more or less, are there — although I hear Mourinho may want one or two more players — but I am sure he’d be happy with his squad. As a Tottenham player I’d love to see more signings. It would lift me seeing a top player come through the door. I’ve seen a couple of players previously saying, ‘We don’t need a top signing or signings’. But I am sorry, I am not singing off the same hymn-sheet on that one" he said.
