Former Tottenham star says it is Danny Rose’s job to deal with criticism.
Former Tottenham defender Graham Roberts has criticised Danny Rose’s interview with The Sun.
Amid expressing his unhappiness of Tottenham’s summer transfer strategy – or lack of – Rose said he still felt bitter at comments directed at him in 2014 when he signed a new contract.
This was at the time when he was coming off a disappointing season.
Three years on and Rose still has not forgotten how he says he was treated, but former star Roberts says it is his job to brush it aside.
Roberts also criticised the timing of Rose’s outburst, just three days before the club play their first match of the season, and blamed his agent for pushing him.
Rose is injured and will miss Tottenham’s opening game of the season away at Newcastle on Sunday.
The left-back has caused a distraction which head coach Mauricio Pochettino did not want to have to deal with, and it will cast an even bigger shadow when Spurs host Chelsea a week later.
