New deal wouldn't stop him leaving. We'd just pay him more money every week til he did go. And it wouldn't even increase his selling price by that much.

You wanna keep Romero? Money is important, sure. But so is winning. Surround Cuti with guys he believes will help him lift trophies at Spurs and he's staying.

More about showing him what he's worth to us more than anything mate.

I'm under no illusion that Romero will be off in a few years.
 
I don't see why Geertruida would come to us to play second fiddle to Porro when he can go to clubs that win stuff and start. Makes zero sense.

Vanderson: good player and will defo improve, lad's got plenty time on his side but...he missed a big chunk of last season through injury so here's a concern. Also, 30 or so mil for a backup to Porro? And for a guy who'll travel 1000s of miles a few times a year to play for Brazil? I'd wanna say thanks but no thanks. I guess it's real hard to find a young English lad as good + same potential as him for less money...
Why don’t we just sell Royal but keep Spence as back up? I wonder with a summer under Ange if he could pass muster
 
Whether it's true or not remains to be seen but, unfortunately, if Real M. wants a player- and he does not play Barca - in 99 out of 100 cases they get him.
They got Bale and Modrić in the past, and they know that Spurs' players (who play regularly), if they have "right" talent, they also have a the right attitude to make it at Real M.
Thus said, one can't blame Romero if he want to join Real M. and win things.
PS! According to Transfermarkt his contract expires summer 2027 - so 3 years left.

Tough choice for romero, join one of the most successful teams in world football, or stay at Tottenham a club that drifts along without achieving anything, but doing things organically, so much to consider for him.

Bingo.

Cuti is a rare breed of player that cam win the very biggest trophies in football and he knows it.

I have zero doubt he'd love to do it here but if he thinks he can't, have even less doubt that he'd want to go somewhere he can.
 
Whenever a transfer is on the table, players have convos with their potential new gaffer and gametime is one of the main topics, if not the no 1. Also, players do their due diligence and check out the squad they'd be joining, who they'd be up against for a starting spot. So Geertruida would know of Porro & Cuti (plus Drag) even before engaging with Ange...and I somehow don't see the big fella, who prides himself on brutal honestly, telling the new kid on the block he'd start ahead of Porro or Cuti, who played the most mins last season.

My second point was my strongest anyway. For sure that kid would get better offers from shinier clubs. But yeah...we beat Bayern to Radu and Bergvall to Barca...

What did Ange tell Dragusin when he spoke to him about his role here?

Ange is never going to guarantee any player playing time, he will tell any signing that they need to earn playing time. He dropped Maddison end of last season and he's a vice captain.

Well said. Real generally get who they want if not straight away then eventually. Give ourselves a fighting chance by building a title challenging team. A new contract just keeps his value, if he really wants out he'll just do the same as Berbatov, Modric and Bale.
 
3 years left.

No chance he leaves this summer. Do need to try and nail down a new deal though.
If Real Madrid come knocking, everyone’s a selling club.

As you say, no chance he leaves this Summer. I think we get another two years out of him and he leaves with 12 months left.

I don’t think he will sign a new deal although it depends how much money we offer him.
 
The current version of Real Madrid don't spend big transfer fees on 26 year olds. I know Romero is a big deal to us (and rightly so), but Madrid aren't spending a whole summer slogging it out with Levy over him... There'll be a 19 year who's on his way to being the next best in the world that they can sign. That's what they do now.

I think that ship has sailed. The only manager who could get a tune out of him is Steve Cooper. I reckon as soon as he takes over at a PL or Champo club, he'll look to reunite.

Warnock said the kid was a dick. Conte never played him. The Leeds manager fucked him off. Rennes too...and they bloody love a youngun there. Ange agreed to his Genoa loan.

I'm with the majority on this one. Get him gone.
