Then he won't be sold
We’re probably better off getting whatever we can and cutting him loose. No sense keeping unhappy, unmotivated players and that’s what he is.
I genuinely genuinely think he's very easy to replace. I don't think fans should be at all stressed about selling him. Funnily enough I think VDV would be better with a far less erratic partner. Romero has been indulged by a weak and clueless coach. The system is horrible for defenders and keepers.
That's the mad thing.Agree - I don’t really care about any of our players tbh so sell the lot for all I care
Since our "pomp" in 16, 17, 18 & 19, I don't think there's many/any players in the squad I could care less about.
And worse, I doubt many are being watched by the big clubs anyway
Apparently Michael Carrick was easy to replace. We got Zokora.
We also replaced Berbatov and Keane with Frazier Campbell on loan.
And Bale with 5 useless turds, a broken Argie and Eriksen.
Never underestimate Spurs.
He’s a really goodplayer but his mentality clearly stinks. Hes an emotional guy so unlike Kane/Modric - the fact that he wants to leave is showing his performances … or he truly is a cunt and he’s purposely trying to drive down his transfer fee through shite performances so it’s easier for him to leave. Either he is pretty checked out - F you Cuti but a much bigger F’off to you Levy.
I didn’t say that- don’t read what isn’t there.
Oh because I rate Romero as a player—who plays for the club I support—and I recognize what he’s capable of before and after Ange, that somehow means I’ve got his nuts in my mouth? Right, makes total sense. Brazil nuts are nice, never tried Argentinian nuts before, maybe they’re made of ingredients of grade A mentality and actual silverware, I guess I’ve developed a refined taste.
It is funny how “overrated” seems to mean “player I personally don’t vibe with.” I haven’t seen him hyped beyond reason—just backed by people who see he’s been made scapegoat-in-chief ever since Ange walked through the door. I’ve acknowledged he makes mistakes (as most top-level defenders do), but context and form clearly aren’t fashionable in hot takes these days.
We talk about changing the mentality of the club, acting like we want leaders and ambition—but the moment a player shows any fire or edge, it’s all too much. Can’t have anyone with “big club” energy unless they’re perfectly polite and neutered, apparently.
And as for La Liga refs—yeah, you’re right, aggressive defenders like Ramos and Puyol really struggled over there. Absolute disasters.
It doesn't work like that though. That doesn't mean they were NOT easy to replace. Just that Levy chose not to. That's about him, if you are willing to continue to materially support Levy and his choices then you accept the T&C's. Loads of mugs were on here giving it the painful rebuild bullshit. I've binned off the ST and merch, as a result of realising I'm not getting value. But sitting here and worrying about replacing and average Centerback for a slightly above average. Lol...nah I'm way past that.
I think you are right. My apologies.
Is he playing shit in PL to drive the price down and well in EL because he wants to win it?
Either way that interview was a cunt of a thing to do. Straight from the Harry Kane and Gary Neville playbook

All good- I agree with you- Romero certainly could have helped us a lot more. Very disappointing tenure here.
He ain't that good, as to do that. This season alone,it started in game 1.
Utter contempt to everyone involved in the club, mostly the fans.
Interesting (within reason) to see what Postecoglou does,much less what he says as a result.

FOMO is now the only reason I renew
Romero leaving is no issue for me, and apologies if it's already been said, bit it also adds more ammo against Postecoglou, not that I think there can be a shred of doubt about next season and his continuation as our manager. None whatsoever.
His mentality is part of the problem!
Rather than leading by example and putting in world class performances to raise the level of those around him and that of the team as a collective, he’s been absolutely pony at times and produced numerous clangers that have directly cost us points.
He’s then gone on a sulk and been generally disinterested to try to engineer a move!
Yeah that’s the type of player behaviour we need to change the mentality of the club!
Give your head a wobble!
Apparently wanted out in the summer
I think you're mistaking fire and edge with reckless and liability.
I'm nearly as "over" Romero as I am Ange.
He's very talented, but he's not even half the player he thinks he is. He'll look world class in a slower league and people will laugh at us for losing him, but he's a huge part of our problem in defense and just like Ange refuses to recognize it and instead pretends like he's doing us a favor by sticking around.
