Just shit to be honest
Wasted fee, wasted new contract, wasted time

He came back after a 0-3 away win at Everton and we have looked like a shower of shit defensively ever since.
What club in world football has their captain return from injury and they look 10 times worse???

Sell this donkey after the WC. Hope Messi can do another job for us and carry them for a bit
Absolute joke of a captain. And fans believe there is quality in him. Fucking hell.
I piss myself seeing him on the ball. His impact in games is zero. Error after error after error. Cost us so many important games it is scary.

Has a Tottenham captain ever been dropped?
Man loses concentration so often in matches, its bizarre.
Very good defender but hes far too inconsistent in a Spurs shirt.
I havent been keen on him for a while due to these reasons, and I would have accepted a departure in the summer.
I dont mean this in a bad way but why does he have credit?
Micky has credit. He actively makes us a better team. He had a big moment in the EL final. He isnt perfect although just so much better than Romero.
As for Romero: I cant remember him ever having a game where I thought that he is that world class defender we supposedly signed. A complete letdown of a defender and even more as a captain. The cause of numerous big errors especially in bigger games.
He lacks so much, he isnt fast, dominant or positionally aware. His timing is woeful, he is weak in the air, he gives up on situations early (Brighton away latest example comes to mind). And even if that magical line breaking pass does happen, in 1 out of 5 plays he just gives it away.
FFS Im so fed up with this guy…
One of my main qualms with modern coaching is the drilling of certain points, that are valid in a vacuum, to players' heads to the point where they almost lose their common sense. They start acting like robots with simple algorithms and input-output patterns instead, lacking flexible thinking that every football needs.
In this case it's playing out from the back with the shortest pass possible, even if it means you will put the recipient under tremendous pressure and possibly cost your team a goal.
Inexcusable

He is a shit player.
Danso is a back up. Love the guy but he is not PL starting eleven quality.
And Romero isnt either. Its very simple. This needs to be fixed next summer. Micky needs a proper partner.
Hopefully Vuskovic will become a starter next season. He has all the qualities. I would have personally kept him here this season, though most of us would have now in hindsight.
His A game is miles better than Danso but his average? Not sure so sure.
At CB you need consistently good not WC one week Non league the next
Yup.
And Danso had been properly solid and didn't deserve to be dropped.
Hopefully Voskovic can be that guy.
IMHO Romero with his faux hard man image and ability (usually) to play the ball gives the illusion he is much better than he is, but if you break down his game he has massive holes in what you predominantly want from a defender ie being able to defend.
Spot on. Everything about his image is so fake. Can't believe some fall for it.
