United paid 80 fucking million for Harry McGuire 5 years ago.
Enough said
English tax.....
The market has deflated since then. Centerbacks are not moving for that money. Only eggs and Avocado's
I think Guehi from Palace could fill the void should we sell him , that's a realistic target and he won't break the bank
Levy is not going to spend 70m for Guehi. I actually think we won't do business for a CB in the offseason- definitely not if Romero stays, and at least not until Ange or the new coach has a chance to assess Phillips and Vuskovic.
He won't be coming to Spurs.
Why would he, likely Chelsea, or Scouse I think.
After so many years, his poor command of the language at the country he works in tells me all I need to know about his commitment.
We need to stop signing argie players ffs. Gone the the Ardilles, Villa and Lamela.

Not sure I'd go that far.
Lamela never tore it up consistently but I loved him at the Lane. Raw passion, absurdly niche skillset and a genuine bastard on the pitch... and still COYS. I'd take that any day in an otherwise fluffy group.
Levy has a tough decision to make this summer - Will Romero have a more healthy/productive season in 25/26? and will that mean higher transfer fee next summer even though Romero will be a year older and only have 12 months left on his contract? Tough question.
Pretty sure that Romero will have no issue running down his contract - He’s already on 165K a week so I think he’ll be happy to lounge around Hotspur Way for the next 2 years and then collect a big signing bonus (our transfer fee) by signing on a free with Madrid.
Seems like Romero has already had his head turned … so no way he signs an extension with us unless it’s on stupid money … and the chances of that with Levy seems very low - particularly since Romero has publicly called out the board’s lack of ambition.
We already have Romero’s replacement in the right footed Danso and the backup in Dragusin …

If Brighton want to move Facundo Buonanotte on we should be interested. Right age, plays with a lot of energy, good skill set.
Why do Brighton want to move him on? Shouldn't that set alarm bells ringing.
They have a well-established scouting system which identifies talent, develops players and sells at the ideal time for significant profits.
Throw the money on the table and most clubs and players won't turn their noses up.
Yep. Because he’s been dogplop this season, Romero doesn’t actually hold many cards this summer - other than saying he’s not leaving. If club wants to sell him this summer, but Romero thinks “nah I’ll stay for two more years and run the contract down” the club might end up not playing him much. In which case his career will be toast
If he’s not fully committed then it’s best he leaves this summer for what’re we can get
I'm sure Uncle Fabio will find us a player to replace Romero . We have to see how well Vuskovic and Phillips have come on in their progress . Danso is looking decent and is still gelling with the squad , but obviously not in the same class as Romero .
This club is huge in Argentina. Not sure how many Spurs fans realize it but thanks to Ardiilles, Villa, Poch, and now Romero we are way more popular than other European clubs of a similar size.
We should always be looking for the next big Argentinian talent IMO.
If they really like that Paz from Como, the fact that he's Argentinian would be a factor for me. he's a lefty AM so I'd just want to be sure he's better than Donley who really should get at least one chance for us to show who he is at this level.
I'd be over the moon of we got Romero to extend as well.
Romero will be one of our best players when fit and will continue to be. That's why Real Madrid want to sign him. He'll play whenever he's fit. I think we can't expect him to waste his career under Ange though.
If he's willing to sign an extension at all, he'll probably ask for a raise that'd make him the highest earner on the team, as he's already pretty high on the list at the moment. Meanwhile he'd probably continue missing the every third or fourth match. I don't see Levy of all chairmen agreeing to something like this, nor should he.
I don't get the fear of missing out when it comes to players with questionable attitudes like Romero to be honest. If he goes to another team and tears it up that'll only affirm the point that he was half arsing it here. Hardly a matter of concern.
