Dann Rose has hit out at Tottenham and put Manchester United on alert
Tottenham are yet to make a new signing in this transfer window.
And it appears the players - as well as the supporters - are growing angry at the lack of action.
Danny Rose has sensationally opened up about his frustration at the current situation in an explosive interview.
The England international has demanded manager Mauricio Pochettino start splashing the cash.
“Under Harry Redknapp we signed Rafa van der Vaart. It was like, ‘Wow, how did he do that?'" Rose said.
“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’.
“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.
“I think we do need one or two top signings to strengthen the squad. I’m just not buying the idea that we don’t need anyone.
“I am not saying buy ten players, I’d love to see two or three — and not players you have to Google and say, ‘Who’s that?’ I mean well-known players.”
Manchester United are pressing ahead with their interest in Rose, with Jose Mourinho looking for a replacement for Luke Shaw.
Manchester City were keen on Rose before splashing out around £130million on full-backs Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Danilo.
But the 27-year-old has put both clubs on alert by hinting he would be open to plying his trade up north.
“I will say this too — I will play up north,” Rose told The Sun.
“I don’t know exactly when, but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere.
“I moved away from home (from Leeds to Spurs) at 16.
“Yes I’ve got team-mates who have moved away from families in South Korea and Argentina, but I have been away for over ten years now and I don’t get to see my mum that often.
“I am going to make it my priority before I retire to play football up there.
“My short-term focus is to get back to playing like last year and if I do that the long-term will take care of itself.
“I’m not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I’d have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club.”
Rose reportedly earns £65,000-a-week at Spurs but could double or triple that with a big move away.
And he knows he could get more money elsewhere but insists trophies are his main motivation.
“I am reaching my peak and have probably only got one big contract left in me,” Rose added.

“Time is running out and I do want to win trophies. I don’t want to play football for 15 years and not have one trophy or one medal.
“Sorry, that’s not what I am about. I wouldn’t be happy with that. I want to win something.
“Being injured has harmed me on and off the field in a lot of ways.
“When you’re injured you get a lot of time to think and I’ve had a lot of ‘what if?’ moments. It’s been hard to deal with.
“One thing is for sure — I know my worth and I will make sure I get what I am worth.
“I am not playing as well as I have done not to get paid what I think I am worth.
“In any walk of life, if you think you are worth a certain amount, why settle for less? I am not that person.

Gary Neville has criticised Danny Rose for his interview criticising Tottenham
“If I get to levels I reached last season — and this goes out to everybody — I will make sure I get what I am worth. I don’t know how much longer I might have at this level. I’m not going to be stupid enough not to try and get the most out of it — medals, trophies and salary.
“Anyone who thinks this is primarily for money, that is not the case. But I know what I am worth.
“As with everyone else in my team, in my opinion, I am worth more than I am getting.
“I am not speaking on behalf of other players, but that is my view.”
Rose’s honest opinions have not gone down well with Manchester United legend Gary Neville though.
“WTF is Danny Rose thinking!!” Neville tweeted.
“Imagine walking into the training ground having not been fit for months and months . Morning lads!!”
