Therein lies the problem.

What use is a CB that only turns it on for the biggest games?!

Personally he's an utter Rolls Royce of a defender and peak Romero is one of the best defenders I've seen at THFC in decades.

But of course the mistakes can't be ignored. But how many mistakes does VVD make in a far better team with far more motivation to concentrate and play well in much bigger games.

It's not good that Romero needs to be motivated to not make mistakes. But I like watching players who ooze class and will be sad to see him go - which seems inevitable. And If Dragusin was a prime example of a recruitment attempt at an understudy/eventual replacement, then we are going to suffer the loss.

This is as much a club issue as it is a Romero issue.

If he ends up at RM, we’ll see if those performances become more consistent because every match at RM is a big game, same as the Liverpools, Barca of the world.

It’s a mentality that the club lack and need to aspire to get to. Romero isn’t the only one who drops stinkers in “lesser” games. Look at Tamworth for example. The club allows it.
