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.
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.
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.
Good job Messi isn’t a scout then!And international matches. He's played (in the main) extremely well for Argentina. Messi calling him the best defender in the world etc.
He just seems to dial out when playing for us in the league.
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.
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.
Good job Messi isn’t a scout then!
He’s blowing smoke up his compatriot’s arse!
This is basic lack of communication and we conceded a similar goal against Chelsea, Romero got sucked in and VdV should be communicating or sending the danger.
I don't think our players talk to each other on the pitch, we seriosly lack leadership.
