Bang on, Danso has done well as backup but Dragusin is useless.
Well really miss Romero and VDV when they go.

Not even close to being a world class player.
World class players are no way near as erratic as he is.
Exactly. I’ve essentially only included the worst of Romero’s games and omitted the best of Romero’s form and his point still falls flat.If you go back to 23/24 when this iteration of Spurs began the premier league win ratio with Romero involved skyrockets.
And whatever you do don't mention Romero's Europa League win/loss ratio. Because it doesn't count if he's literally MOM in our biggest victory for 40 years. Or something...
Friedel said it in the interview. Romero is one of the problems. And when you make one of your problems the captain, his negative influence is multiplied.
If he was just a squad player, it wouldn't as big of an issue, but asking the other players to perform week in, week out, when the captain shows he simply doesn't care.. That's too much regardless of how much they make.
You have to hold the Captain responsible. Particularly when he's the one getting sent off more than anyone else, and when he makes constant mistakes in defence, doesn't track back...
That's what so many has pointed out, and Friedel gave us right in that interview. He is ITK if someone is.
Juve moved him on and didn't want him back, and he's never (to my recollection) been linked with a move back to Serie A, so there could well be some smoke there

You tried claiming specifically that we’d be better off without Romero in the squad, I cited numbers that prove you completely wrong and your response is a bunch of waffle about intangible things you cannot quantify.
I couldn’t care less what Brad Friedel says tbh. Ange just came out and said the exact opposite so it’s all a bit ridiculous. You’ll side with anyone who trashes Romero and dismiss anyone who sides with Romero.
What’s ironic?
Verbal irony, paradox of bias, hypocrisy. Whichever you want.

"I couldn’t care less what Brad Friedel says"
in simpler terms, you contradicted your own advice before you even wrote it
Really, you didn't. You picked numbers from different competitions. Some may fall for it but it's so easy to see through it.
You should try sticking to the facts. The facts clearly state that this season in the PL we have won a higher percentage of our games without Romero in the team than when he has played.
It really is that simple.
Awful awful choice of captain, whoever had the wrong manager to bring out his best or to stand him to attention.
As some have said, just symptomatic of the club at the present time.

I couldn’t care less what Ange says either. Not really a gotcha moment.
I didn’t. Your reading comprehension is just lacking. I gave you all the numbers you just aren’t able to read.
We have simply won more games in the league without him this season. That's a really important stat and it suggests that we are better off without him. Not even you can deny that. And keep CL out of it. It's not comparable. Thanks!
Lol no, because he went on to say this:
You are aware that normal people can read full sentences, right?
Why are you people like this? It's so weird.
The media and fans of other clubs. Everyone knows most of the London media are Woolwich season ticket holders.
Thats why Gabriel can get away with everything Romero gets sent off for.

We have not. We have won 5 games with him and 2 without him.
Every time we concede, I remember the words "world class".
We've gone backwards since he arrived.
Replacing our great Belgian CB's was always going to be tough - but this has been a disaster.
Yet somehow it was sold as elite recruitment.
Some were fooled.
Some still are.

And when you divide by number of games played with / without, you see that the rate is higher without. Easy.
