Not surprised by this at all. Rose already hinted at all this months ago when he talked about Walker to the BBC.
At the end of the day when we have a wage structure like ours this is going to happen from time to time. We, as fans, need to accept that. Until the new stadium arrives and we are have greater financial power nothing will change - and the usual cretins screaming about world class signings and wages can whine all they want, but we know that the club isn't going to alter it's wage structure or bring in a mega signing just to placate little Danny. In fact, those who thing we can bring in "world class" players and pay them mega bucks, while paying our existing players mega bucks, ought to seriously think about supporting a different club.
And do you know what? To some degree Rose can do one. Unfortunately it seems he's just another lazy footballer who'd rather just move to a club where there is less effort for trophies and more money. He moans that he isn't winning medals, but he's just spent the best part of the fucking past year sidelined while the club pays for his treatment and while the other players came very close to winning the title without him. You'd think he'd have the sense to shut up, return play out of his skin and then moan after reminding everyone he still has the goods. But right now he comes across as full of himself, and, frankly, a bit ungrateful considering what the club has done for him. I almost feel like he should just fuck off if that's what he wants.
