I mentioned this after the Elfsborg game, when all the other injured players were pitchside.
Can't say I'll miss him if/when he goes, he hasn't exactly been playing that much.

Clearly frozen out since he publicly criticised the owners blatant lack of ambition.

I’m glad he called out to board, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that he hasn’t been pitchside for any of the games.
Warm Spanish weather would help.
Regardless of where his head is, he'd be well advised to invest in better PR. He has nearly 2 1/2 years left on his contract, so likely not going anywhere this summer. I just don't see Levy selling at a discount after such a bad/injury affected season.
So at this point Romero should be giving interviews, especially given his leadership role in the team. Tell us he's desperate to get fit, to help the team etc. Clarify his criticism of the board if necessary. Then summer 2026, either he re-signs or gets moved on.

I don't expect any sort of special affinity, but it is sad given our history with players from Argentina, that so many of our more recent crop clearly cares way more about the national team than they do club football. Lamela and Gazzaniga seem to be the only outliers. And they were never going to be regulars in the national team given their positions (and Lamela's health).
I'm honestly surprised he ever signed for us at all. I guess Conte, his Agent and some better wages convinced him?
If we can just sell him for 75-80m to RM we should do it. If everyone else can pretend Cuti is world class, surely we can sell him as such too, right?
Hard to fight for a club that clearly doesn’t give a fuck about winning anything. Sure he could be on the pitch battling away with his teammates but you can only do that for so long until you check out because the attrition is accepted.
What a stupid thread lol
He wants out and relatively subtle actions like this is a way to do it. Can we blame him for wanting to leave this embarrassment of a club? He's given it a shot, stood with us through tricky times but what would motivate him to stay when it's clear as day we're actually regressing even further as a club since he arrived....
That stems from the players?
Messi stated that Romero was the best defender in the world - yet to see that in a Spurs shirt.
Eh? He has?
I feel this narrative is overdone. Yes Romero, like most of his compatriots, probably sees the Argentina national team as the biggest honour, but he also surely knows that the best way to keep his place for Argentina is to get fit and perform for Spurs.
That said, he seems like quite an emotional guy, and perhaps the lack of connection with the fans does affect him.
I see it as a situation similar to Lloris, when he won the World Cup for example, his stock would of been very high, and he likely would of got some offers from bigger clubs who actually win silverware from time to time, but he ended up sticking with us for whatever dopey reason.
Thinking Kulu is world class is something I’ll never remember
Romero signed for us in August 21 when Nuno was manager.
Romero a Spurs legend? No friggin way, my man.Clearly frozen out since he publicly criticised the owners blatant lack of ambition.

He called out the board, even that is a slight exaggeration. Easier to two-foot an opponent from behind like the coward he is.
Still gotta get himself fit and on that pitch, playing as hard as he can, ready to die for the cause. And when he's injured, still gotta show up and be vocal on the touchline.
A legend, my arse. Guy is a disgrace who's been robbing a living for years. Fuck him and his tough geezer act...lock him in a room with Roy or Vinnie, see how big he really is.
Damn- good memory- I had forgotten that. Either case I'm still surprised.
I wonder if Christian signed on for Nuno originally? I guess he must have been sold on the coach?
Just no. Far below World class. As for Son and Kulu, having you been watching us lately?!
