Sunderland fans still remember Danny Rose fondly, but he could be set to join Newcastle United from Tottenham Hotspur.
Sunderland fans have been left gutted after rumours that Danny Rose is set to join Newcastle United from Tottenham Hotspur.
Rose is still very fondly remembered at Sunderland, after he spent a season on loan at the Stadium of Light during the 2013/14 campaign.
Rose even suggested that he was forever indebted to Sunderland earlier in his career.
“I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me and for a club to give you that chance and believe in you means the world,” he said to the Sunderland Echo in 2016.
“I still try to go up there and watch games – I went to the game against Everton where they won to stay up – and it’s a good three and a half hours from London, but I don’t think there’s any other way I can say thank you to Sunderland.”
And Sunderland fans now feel disappointed that Rose could be joining their main rivals.
Rose’s decision to join Newcastle is understandable for the benefit of his career, despite Sunderland’s supporters displeasure at the switch.
Rose has been starved of action at Tottenham, but could go straight into Steve Bruce’s starting line-up.
Newcastle are set to be without both Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems for the remainder of the season, which means that they are short of options at left-back.
