Player Cristian Romero

[Kosher Kid]

So you give him a pass for all the individual mistakes to his name? I don't think the club looking to buy him will ignore those many errors when coming up with a reasonable price. Blunders cost a lot in football and this guy has been the most guilty of all our defenders. I think he's in a much worse position than many think. That's why he and his agents are pulling all those ridiculous stunts. They know that nobody is willing the pay the price that Levy has in his mind, so they have to force their way out. But no takers it seems..

I am genuinely not surprised.

Spurs have been blessed in recent years with several talented, top quality, centre backs.

Vertonghen, Alderweireld, King and Gallas were all much better defenders than Romero.

Romero has ability but he is not in that top bracket of player as the four players I mentioned were.

Romero is error prone, hot headed and misses too many games to be genuine class.

If Spurs could get 50 million for Romero they would be doing great business in my opinion.

Levy should be try to, at worst, recover the initial fee on all these players. Obviously it's not possible all the time, but the total value of our transfers has been falling badly the last few years due to not being able to sell many players we paid large fees for. Recouping 50m for Romero that could be re-invested would be much better than letting him walk for zero in 2 years- especially because we're not going to be competing for the title during that time.

Seems to me the boys heart is not in the club? If so lets get what we can (50m+) for him.

I think only being available for 50 percent of the season is a way way bigger issue than errors that happened in Ange's rain. Every defender makes mistakes (Van Dijk season before last made more in one season than Romero has in his Spurs career).

I think we paid a handsome amount for potential. He's been decent, but I don't think he's quite exceed expectations for a £45m investment.
Therefore, to get our money back would be a fairly good outcome.

God knows we wish we could do that with Davinson Sanchez

Extending Romero's contract, on bigger money, makes less sense than covering our initial investment with his sale.

Romero isn't getting any better at THFC in my opinion.

He will also lose value if Spurs fail to sell him.

I have no sentiment for this player and struggle to understand why many others do based on Argentina winning the World Cup.

It's a Hugo situation all over again.

Learning from mistakes is important.

Agree 100%

He's still here then?

Considering arguably every player gradually got worse over the last couple of seasons and we were rock bottom pretty much all of last season and since we've just hired a manager who is known for getting the best out of his players, this is a pretty wild assumption to make.

Romero should have been binned after the red card that ended our Champions League campaign under Conte.

That is what a serious club would have done.

It's what Fergie would have done in his United pomp.

No player is bigger than the club.

Except some at THFC don't buy into that logic.

They prefer excusssa fora da playa.

This is the Christian Romero thread.

I have expressed an opinion regarding Christian Romero's future at THFC.

I'm not alone in my opinion.

That is how it is relevant.

You initially said he won't improve which I refuted then went off on a tangent about him being sent off 3 years ago.

What makes you think he won't improve at Spurs considering the reasons I mentioned in my previous post?

With Romero in the team under Conte we finished 4th

Then 5th under Ange after selling Kane

Then won our biggest trophy in 41 years as captain.

Selling him for 45m?

lol

 

[Ed the Duck]

Why should be close to double that? He's 27 and has only two years left on his contract. He's usually injured for half the season and when he plays he's always a liability. If it's not a red card, it's a mistake leading to a goal. We've seen it so much over the past two seasons.

He's seriously overrated on this forum and on X. In real life, only Atletico seem to be interested but they're also interested in Digne. I.e. not the highest calibre players. And they won't pay the big bucks.

Just checked - in the premier league since signing for us:
red cards - 2
Mistakes leading to goal - 3
Last season only
red cards - 0
errors leading to goal - 0
last 2 seasons combined:
red cards - 0
Errors leading to a goal - 1
(All from the Premier League Statistics)

Is that really too much? Could it be that he is actually seriously underated on this forum because ha had a bad injury last season and memories are short?
I know that stats can be manipulated to prove anything in certain scenarios but .....come on.

My view is that Romero is not worth improved remuneration based on the evidence regarding his amount of Spurs appearances, the consistent performance levels when he has played and his commitment to THFC.

It's not personal with me.

If I thought Romero was worth retaining I would look the other way regarding his shortcomings.

I would accept any kind of profit, the fee Spurs paid, or a partial loss on Romero.

He is without doubt one of the most over rated players I have ever seen at Spurs.

Wouldn’t engage.

He has also previously said he would do Spurs a favour and drive Romero to the airport and should be sold for free.
Some opinions should be treated with higher value than others in my view, his are near worthless

Was that after the chipped cross field pass, at Palace, to VDV, when the sun was in Mickey's eyes, or the give away passes against Leicester and Bournemouth? Maybe it was after the multiple passes played to Dragusin's left foot, during another game, when it was obvious Dragusin was uncomfortable in possession with his right foot?

I can't remember it has happened that often with this player.

We will be idiots if we sell him. Hopefully a coach who doesnt expose our defence will see us harder to beat.
