Alan Shearer has criticised Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose.

Graham Roberts has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer’s comments about Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose.

Rose recently gave an interview to The Sun in which he suggested that he should be earning more than he currently is, which is reported to be £65,000 per week by The Mirror.

Former Newcastle striker Shearer strongly criticised the England international left-back on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One on Sunday night (August 13, 2017).

As quoted by The Mirror, the former England international said: [The] Timing of it was all wrong, he hasn’t won anything with Spurs as of yet, he signed a five-year contract 10 or 11 months ago and hasn’t played for the last seven months. How on earth he can come out and moan about lack of money or lack of wages.”

“We saw Tottenham over the last 18 months roll in different players and sign contracts with Pochettino,” added Shearer. “18 months later you can’t moan about it – you haven’t won anything.

“I understand there’s been progression, but these players haven’t won anything. We saw them nosedive in the Champions League, and a lot of them nosedive with England last summer. At the minute I don’t see how too many can say we deserve more money.”

Former Tottenham defender Roberts has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Shearer’s comments about Rose.

Tottenham kicked off their 2017-18 Premier League campaign with victory over Newcastle United 2-0 away from home at St. James’ Park on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs played well against the Magpies and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter at St. James’ Park.

The North London outfit finished second in the Premier League table last season and will be aiming to challenge for the title yet again this campaign.
