I like him. I'll be sorry to see him go. Controversial opinion, I know.

Won’t somebody think of the climate 
Well somebody seems to have caused a perfectly executed 'dark arts' distraction from taking the pressure off the players ACTUALLY playing today!

Good, fine, let him! BEST 9F BOTH WORLDS!
Most people in the ground will be tuned in to West Ham v Leeds, and we don't even support EITHER!!
Problem is if Belgrano score at exactly the same time as Everton, and he jumps up punching the air in celebration!
Cover well and truly blown!
I genuinely think people have forgotten how blood good he was. He was frankly ridiculous if he was fit and playing now a PSG would make the most expensive centerback ever.
He was effortlessly talented and calm, could pass play midfield and was lighting quick, but unlike VDV was bright enough to have learned from Nourradine Naybet 'dont run if dont have to' so him having to chase and do last ditch stuff was rare.
I watched him away at city when we qualified for the champions league for the first time and its the BEST performance by a centerback ive seen. He made Vincent Kompany look ordinary that night. The next best performance from a centerback was King against France for England. He was utterly impeccable and looked the best player on that pitch.

He is exceptionally fucking thick. That's so obvious its cringe.
There are still some Spurs fans who understand what a winner looks like.
I would love to think that the "going to Argentina for treatment" story was true, but in my heart I believe that he didn't think it would blow up as much as it has and he's been shamed to coming back. Suppose only Romero and his agent knows the truth,
Such a shame that it has turned out like this for the players that only a year ago were lauded as heroes.

My gut tells me you’re right. A real shame but good on him for conceding his absurd position, I guess. Such a mess.

Romero hasn’t created that.
Clickbait media have capitalized on an opportunity to create that…
Now they weaponize it between Spurs fans to get even more clicks

The reality is much more boring: injured player agreed with his club to do his rehab with his most trusted, Spanish speaking physios. Then came back to support his team in a huge game.
They’ve turned that into a massive story and everyone walked right into it.
I don’t think anyone is forgetting how great he is, the problem is he’s only great one out of ten games. He will get up for the big games but can’t be bothered for an away game to Palace.
He’s not a leader, that is very obvious and would be much better on a team full of leaders that will jump on his ass if he’s slacking. At Spurs, he thinks he’s the best so he coasts and gets on others when mistakes happen.
Lol....mate. im taking about Ledley King. And he now wants a grovelling apology from you...one in ten games indeed. Be under no illusion I do NOT think Romero is great. Ive been telling anyone who'll listen for over a year he's bang average. Ledley said hes waiting...
You're right about the media nonsense but it's pretty obvious he's been forced to come back due to the backlash. If his return was always planned De Zerbi would've said so in the presser or his agent would've mentioned it when trying to defend him being in Argentina.
Fair play for admitting the error of his ways and coming back but let's not pretend he was always intending to and there was no story here.
He's now not public enemy number 1 at least but it's yet another in a long list of fuckups and it's abundantly clear he's unfit to captain our club.
Naive. They’re all professional footballers who want to do well for themselves and want to be in a good team that can compete. None of them as far as I’m aware grew up Tottenham fans and even if they did that washes away when it’s your job. If we were hovering around this position in Kane and Sons time they’d be itching to get out. All this I love the club is crap. They might like the culture of a club or the team they are apart of but the actual club. I don’t think so.
Blowback must have been so hard he changed his plans. What a clown
