Player Cristian Romero

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

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.

I like Dragusin still personally but regardless, Danso and Vuskovic are going to make this a non-issue- it’s not like Romero was all that often available anyways.
 
Most should have seen this move coming from a mile away.

The “leave to continue growing” bit is a nod to our apparent inability to match his ambitions- obviously our disastrous league form has only helped bolster such arguments.

His contribution over the last 2 seasons doesn't justify that attitude however.

....And his availability has been appalling.
 
He's desperate to leave. He's been found out in England and Spain will be easier for him if he's in a top team, since the lower teams are not that good.
In England he's getting owned by Wolves and Leicester. Not a good look.
 
Bin him off immediately, give his place to Danso who actually wants to be here. Why reward him with the Euro games, particularly when he's been such a liability. Sound out Atletico now, get the money in the bank while he's still worth something

He's only motivated for the Europa League matches it seems, he played well against Frankfurt.
 
He got caught sleeping yet again for Forest's second goal last night.

Just look at this series of images from the goal that a poster on reddit put together:

The man falls asleep at the wheel far too often.
 
Shouldn't play again for the club. Divisive character, who needs to be ejected in the summer.

I just hope Levy and the club don't offer this waster more money or set an exorbitant price on his head.

Some will defend the guy's right and side with him. Not me. Wnaker.
 
Hope he goes to Madrid and breaks his fucking leg in their first training session, the muggy little rat.

He can forget going unless we get decent money though. Rather see the petulant little arsehole be forced to train alone until his contract ends than accept a below-par offer.
 
People get taken in so easily by defenders/keepers who can pass the ball these days, no matter how average they can be in their primary duties. Hell, even great footballing minds fall victim to this from time to time. Remember the time when Guardiola thought Claudio Bravo would make a good/great EPL goalkeeper?

There's no need to dig deeper to try to unearth something that isn't really there, what you see is what you (will) get with this guy: A rich man's Vlad Chiriches.

Agree.

I'd leave him out of the Europa League game(s) remaining tbh. It's not like he's been helping us out anyway.

Fuck that rat bastard.

This is basic lack of communication and we conceded a similar goal against Chelsea, Romero got sucked in and VdV should be communicating or sensing the danger.

I don't think our players talk to each other on the pitch, we seriously lack leadership.

Good job Messi isn’t a scout then! 😂

He’s blowing smoke up his compatriot’s arse!

We were all blowing smoke up his arse a season or two ago. Even last year, VDV and Romero had some of the highest average ratings despite a porous defence. He got defender of the season in Italy and won the WC.

He's always been rough around the edges but there is a huge difference between his ceiling and where he's currently at for us in the league. He's a good defender playing badly, not a bad defender.
