Even the Grauniad described him as boring this a.m.....
I don't see why Geertruida would come to us to play second fiddle to Porro when he can go to clubs that win stuff and start. Makes zero sense.
Vanderson: good player and will defo improve, lad's got plenty time on his side but...he missed a big chunk of last season through injury so here's a concern. Also, 30 or so mil for a backup to Porro? And for a guy who'll travel 1000s of miles a few times a year to play for Brazil? I'd wanna say thanks but no thanks. I guess it's real hard to find a young English lad as good + same potential as him for less money...
They can have him for 5 mil. Develop him nicely for a couple years or so, turn him into a 30 mil kid...when we bring him back for 10 using our magic buy-back clause. Cheers Boro
In 2 years Vuskovic should be ready, then we can rake in €100 million from Madrid.
Whether it's true or not remains to be seen but, unfortunately, if Real M. wants a player- and he does not play Barca - in 99 out of 100 cases they get him.
They got Bale and Modrić in the past, and they know that Spurs' players (who play regularly), if they have "right" talent, they also have a the right attitude to make it at Real M.
Thus said, one can't blame Romero if he want to join Real M. and win things.
PS! According to Transfermarkt his contract expires summer 2027 - so 3 years left.

Why would he see himself as second fiddle?
What player with any sense of pride ever sees themselves as second fiddle? if we pay him the money he wants and doesn't get an offer from a club paying him more, we have a chance. Porro is irrelevant.
Is that you Mrs Abraham ?
For a starter.... Ndombele and Fraser Forster...
GKs are the one exception.
Ndomebele just goes where he can get away with being a dosser.
It's much better to loan him out. Buy-back clauses only works if the player agrees to return. What if he want to join another club instead?
Could be.
Honestly couldn't care less anymore.His man bun is fucking irritating and he will have a massive drop off next season anyway. Here or there.
I mean, we seem to be developing the position well for when Romero and Van de ven do potentially leave.
Dragusin, Phillips, Dorrington, Vuskovic.
And we're still in the market for another CB this window.
If they want to break the world record for a defender then that is the starting point.
They don't though. This is just like Bale and Modric, they are posturing for next summer when he has 1 year on his contract and probably sewing a seed in his head.
Tbh if we aren't a serious club and don't build a team that can really challenge, players like Romero, VDV, Udogie, Sarr are always going to be here for a good time not a long time.
Signing werner is a good start to that
Again, people were saying I was over reacting big time but they completely missed the message that transfer sent.
Runs out 2027
New deal wouldn't stop him leaving. We'd just pay him more money every week til he did go. And it wouldn't even increase his selling price by that much.
You wanna keep Romero? Money is important, sure. But so is winning. Surround Cuti with guys he believes will help him lift trophies at Spurs and he's staying.
Whenever a transfer is on the table, players have convos with their potential new gaffer and gametime is one of the main topics, if not the no 1. Also, players do their due diligence and check out the squad they'd be joining, who they'd be up against for a starting spot. So Geertruida would know of Porro & Cuti (plus Drag) even before engaging with Ange...and I somehow don't see the big fella, who prides himself on brutal honestly, telling the new kid on the block he'd start ahead of Porro or Cuti, who played the most mins last season.
My second point was my strongest anyway. For sure that kid would get better offers from shinier clubs. But yeah...we beat Bayern to Radu and Bergvall to Barca...
