Danny Rose

[Spursex]

He Googled Stephen Carr? (I was gutted when he left)

He more likely googled Steve Bruce.

I've been told that Newcastle are doing all they can to get Rose in and they are now expecting a positive outcome in their efforts, so something positive must have happened which could well see Danny boy soon to be their problem.

That would be good.

 

[Spursex]

Skysports now reporting that Newcastle are favorites to land Rose.

 

[Real Deal]

Going Danny boy. Do it for your career and mental health.

Time to move on.

Getting rid of 2 toxic players in one window would be impressive.

 

[pjones40]

Getting rid of Danny and Christian is the best thing that has happened in this window

 

[Spursex]

I'm told the deal has been agreed in principle. I hope it carries through to a conclusion.

 

[muttley]

Another Sunderland legend joins Toon.

 

[Big Chiv]

SSN reporting we have agreed a deal with Newcastle to get rid of the **** till the end of the season .

 

[Real Deal]

Fingers crossed it's a loan with an option to buy.

Don't want him back here. I'm sure Jose feels the same.

 

[pjones40]

Bye bye

 

[USAFSPURS]

Bye bye

Please tell me this is true!

 

[Spursex]

It's true as I posted yesterday, the deal sheet has been signed, he just has to pass the medical this morning.

LOL

If he is desperate to leave he will be on his best behavior. We can only hope.

 

[Critical_Spur]

Yep, he's got both his wishes....'I'll get what I am worth' and 'I want to be near my family'.

Thanks for that wonder goal Danny. GL, hope you like it up norf.

 

[Spursex]

When it is announced, I'll try and remember him as the best LB in the country and not the bitter and twisted has-been he became.

 

[Spursex]

He's gone. Good luck to him.

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

He's gone. Good luck to him.

He's only gone until the summer though and then it starts all over again. There's no obligation for Newcastle to buy. I wonder if they think they are getting the Rose of three years ago not the Rose of today.

Great minds G O you beat me to the point I was about to make. I think Bruce is reacting to the injury to Willems, Rose is a direct replacement, and as you are aware in his current guise a poor one. Maybe Bruce believes that a mere £2m in loan fees fills a gap in their team and is worth it.

What about the Rose of last season? The player that was in our top 3 best players at the club in the second half of the campaign. The guy that quite rightly kept Davies out of 1st teams, even the CL final. The guy that kept going when the lethargy and apathy hit the other so called superstars.

I actually wish him well. That fresh faced 17 year old kid that turned up from Leeds gave a lot to our club and became our longest serving player. He punched above his weight and I honestly didn't think he was even that good when I first saw him. Poch did an amazing job nurturing him into the LB he became. At one point he was like the Duracell bunny owning the entire left side and still sprinting around at 90 mins. Him and Walker were the finest pair of full-backs in the whole of Europe, albeit for too short a period. His will to win was infectious.

Unfortunately, injuries and mental illness took its toll and he clearly surrounded himself with the wrong people. We need him gone and I'm hoping this separation will re-energise him. He'll be back in the summer, but I doubt he'll want to stick around. I also hope Levy is realistic with his price tag.
