Player Cristian Romero

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If he were fit he'd be playing obviously, but the fact that he's seemingly said "Well I've played my last one there so I'll just fuck off" seems like a terrible business decision for him, and might even hurt the transfer market for him.

Always felt he'd be at Madrid or some such place if not here, he's a good player but not a leader and needs to be placed in a situation where leaders and a healthy culture already exist, because he's not internally motivated in that way.
It won't hurt him but it will hurt the club when he's ostracised and put on the transfer list and banished to train with u-21's. We will be forced to take a lower offer.
It's exactly what he and Simeone wanted.
 
How is he allowed to train at another Club while he is under contract at spurs ?

Because it seems like the entire club are simping for him

Isn't part of yesterdays press conference embargoed until tonight at 10.30 so potentially some new quotes coming out but I doubt there will be anything too controversial.

De Zerbi knows there's no benefit to coming out and putting boot into Romero and stoking the fire ahead of this game. All it will do is create extra noise which isn't helpful and nothing to be gained from it.

He will deal with it after the game and in the coming weeks.
IMO he made his feelings about it very clear by how he brought up Ben Davies and all the things Ben is doing this week. There was no reason to bring that up and talk so profusely about what he's doing if he wasn't pissed at Romero.
 

Even if it's all absolutely true and they did have some big rehab plan that's technically the best for his recovery back in Argentina and blah blah blah, the optics alone make it a shocking decision. I guess when the plans were made they gambled on the Everton fixture not being crucial - if we'd drawn against Chelsea no-one would care half as much - but as club captain this is the type of thing you have to be taking into account.

No way in hell Son would've done this and left his teammates behind in a relegation battle to go back to Korea. And the Belgrano final being on the same day is just the icing on the cake.

He lives in London, a city with some of the best medical professionals in the entire world. There's absolutely no way he needed to be back in Argentina. He just put himself first, like he's done so many times on the pitch, with little thought or care for how it would affect Spurs and the fans.
 
His club resume is so average. The best name on it is Juve, but they never played him. Can you even say he played for them? I think not.

Genoa and Atalanta.

Remember, he was not in the Atalanta side that went far in the CL. Romero came the year after and it looks like Atalanta detoriated from the year that he arrived.

After that to a decent Spurs side, and the side detoriated following his arrival.

The bottom came the year he was made captain. We only managed to get a good run after he was permanently injured for the season. The energizer the club so badly needed.

Romero is probably the biggest fraud in PL history. Made a captain of a "top 6" side just to get them relegated. Con artist.
