Romero is not just anyone tho, is he.

Fuck me, this is tiring.

We lost the ball all the time in midfield all last season...no one there has been "composed".

Exactly why we need a specific defensive measure/option.

People acting like we've had actual defensive functionality in MF.

Very strange.

We don’t know what Romero would be like playing as a DM, but its a difficult position to play in so the chances are he’d struggle.

If people who have played as DM’s at the highest level are struggling then the chances of him succeeding aren’t too high either.

It’s more than just defending, you need to be good on the ball andbe able to play under pressure. There’s no room for error because it will lead to a clear chance at goal for the opposition due to where you'd be positioned on the pitch.

It also requires more positional awareness because you don’t have the entire field in front of you and you need to be able to block potential passing angles which is more difficult in midfield.

Until we sign a player for the starting eleven, it's pretty hard to rate it any higher than a 6.

And it's only a 6 because we've managed to get rid of alot of shit that shouldn't have filled the squad up. Which is great

We've made one addition to the squad this window and it's a teenager for 40m and he isn't even a starter.

We have still gotta get rid of 5 more before we can add to the EL squad.
The club are 100% behind Ange and are clearing the decks.

I'm pretty sure the Martinez move was setup by his predecessor. Bailey is very very meh, he's the epitome of hit and miss and I don't think he levels Spurs up. I'm on record as not rating Watkins. I think even being kind to him, the signings highlighted are part of why I'm not particularly impressed by his work.

Honestly it's an odd job D.O F lots of critics (like me ) and sometimes unfairly credit going elsewhere. But the truth of it is, despite people poised to scream VDV and Vicario, IMHO Spurs are now at a place when we need the next level player to get us to elite. That means agents fees and Mendes and the Super parasites. It means the wage bill expanding. When those moves start to happen I'll buy in. Till then it's SSDD.
